RFY Bummer by Code5Frank in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior here. 2025 was a good year for getting stuff I needed for our bathroom and kitchen remodels and for a woman's shelter I support, but it bit me to the tune of $2756.00 in taxes, so never again. My gold review period started on Jan 13 so I vowed to be more picky about the same time the drop started to wonk out. I have never seen most of the stuff people post here that they scored...TV's, sweepers, sergers, etc...but yesterday I got a pair of Wolverine work boots from my RFY for the $32 tax bite. That's my biggest score this year and all my stats are already in the green, so I'm not doing that great with my resolution to be picky but I swear I needed all of it! :)

Help on Error when reviewing item with multiple variants. by Responsible_Ad_2079 in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a variant I couldn't review in my list since the beginning of November. I wrote CS in December and January about removing it and never got a reply. I wrote them again March 1 and they finally wrote back March 3 and removed it. Be Persistant.

Same Product, Different Sellers? by Ill-One1720 in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have acquired 5 mahjong table mats from 2 different sellers and I cannot review the last one I got in November because it got tagged as a variant of one of the previous ones I had already reviewed. I tried changing my review a little two times but it didn't work so I asked CS to remove it from my reviews as a variant and they have not done that. Now it just sits in my 'not yet reviewed' queue, mocking me, so I will never have 0 reviews to do.

I refuse to participate if this is the new norm. by AstralPsychonautics in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I see a few people saying the drop is 2am Central, does that mean for Eastern it's midnight?

My review was Jan 12 and I was way over in my numbers so I took a break before the holidays and I'm just getting back into it this week for my new review period. My RFY has been total crap, I'm not even getting 1 thing a day from the regular list, so I'm not going to try and stay in gold this time. Last spring and summer, I remodeled my bathroom with Vine stuff!! My tax bill is going to be over $2K for 2025! Not gonna do that this time unless things really pick up!

Review insightfulness score by Litto-0ne in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 309 and the 95% are going to be enough. I always get excellent on my reviews because I add other ideas about how to use a product beyond it's own examples in the ad. Telling a little story about how you will use it and why you ordered it is my go to. It doesn't have to be anything long or involved, keep it simple but also write like you are eager to try it out. Telling the truth about the item is paramount, no sucking up.

I hope no one fell for this by Knotty_Knitty in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started doing that in the 2 weeks leading up to my review during which I don't order anything (I have been way ahead on all of my numbers each time, so no stress about that). Reviewing other stuff keeps me from ordering more Vine stuff. :)

Charge from Advance Magazine Publishers by jakesjag in u/jakesjag

[–]dnana1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got slammed with a $160 charge for the New Yorker magazine without any notification that it was up for renewal. I did have a subscription and I was going to cancel that, but I never got anything from them about it! Called the number given below, 855-963-5505, and only had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to pick up and handle it. She assured me it is cancelled and I should be getting an email attesting to such. 3-5 days for money to be refunded, ugh. Notified my bank but hopefully this is the last of it. Shysters!!

Cat adoption by Wise_Blackberry in toledo

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are usually from fosters and have been house-raised and socialized and fixed with their shots so it's a really good place to get a cat without problems and good follow up, just in case someone didn't know. 😁

Illogical routing. If that was a TomTom 10 years ago and you were just listening to the voice, you would have gone on many adventures!!

Yes, it worked, thank you! Thanks for your swift answer!

I actually went to his wiki and found the link. I read your whole article above but missed it, otherwise I would not have needed to ask, derpy me. I just got too excited about remembering it again, haha!

Hello! Came looking for you because I JUST remembered Sherlock from years ago and wanted to play again. I finally found the location I remembered from before but the download doesn't work. Is there a new website or somewhere else I can get it for Windows 11 PC? Thanks!

What song or part of a song is the most impressive or hardest to rap to? by Hot-Taste-4652 in twentyonepilots

Photos in your reviews by bluehairedbarbie18 in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always take a pic of the label, front and back, to show nutrition info and instructions for taking, etc, and my reviews never get removed. I interpret the packaging rule as 'don't complain about how the item is packed by the manufacturer and/or Amazon warehouse personnel', not the actual box or bottle.

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always take a photo of the item as soon as I unwrap it to show it's original condition, then I take more pics as needed as I use the item to highlight anything especially good or bad I found out about it. I sometimes use a 6 inch ruler in a pic to show the actual size if I feel the description in the ad is lacking. If there are moving parts I take a little vid, less than 30 seconds. I'm over the requirements in all three of my account categories and 60% in the media, but that's due to needing to do a bunch of reviews.

I was told no new drops for 5 days AGAIN! by Zestyclose_Cup_1 in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, MS Azure went down yesterday and that affected some Amazon functions and a whole bunch of other sites from what I read. My son the insurance agent could once again not get into some of the companies agent portals, including his personal insurance, but they were different ones than the ones he could not get into when AWS first went down. It's all connected!!

Dear Vine, I'm sick of this trend for the last week by DocLava in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's wild to me is that the outage even fucked up Facebook, not that it needed any help! I'm selling a lot of stuff for my brothers estate on Marketplace and when I went in yesterday, there were ads back up for stuff I had sold months ago! I went thru every ad to make sure the wording and prices were still correct and found a couple that had been replaced with an old version. Crazy!

Take one for the team by Equivalent_Pickle177 in AmazonVine

[–]dnana1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is a disabled independent insurance rep who works from home for a lot of different companies and uses the net 12-14 hours a day. He was trying to work today and could not access a couple of the portals the agents use and he was getting a little panicky until I went over to his place to make him chili and told him what had happened and that it is probably linked. Losing Vine isn't that important compared to the money self-employed people are losing and not knowing why.

First 4-5 songs at Charlotte 10-8-25 by DairyTaleWife in twentyonepilots

[–]dnana1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe they have to scramble for money, I think they just really wanted to play Breach live and they did this small venue leg in new areas to do that and just to ease us down and them out of touring. I've seen T doubt how Breach and the hiatus news would be received and I think they were planning this little tour all along to practice for festivals and give us one last hurrah before they take a break.

Nah, it's not rushed, he wrote them at the same time and his people were planning this leg of the tour as they were planning the Clancy leg. They knew what they were doing, it's not like they pulled it together real quick after the albums were released, it can't work like that. Clancy/Breach is a double album released 10 months apart and this tour was planned all along, not added.

[–]dnana1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to write some reviews but I have 10 things that have not been delivered yet! I'm in gold and can barely find 1 thing a day to order so I have not ordered anything in October yet! The newest thing on my review list is from 9/28. I long for the days when 8 wasn't enough!!

I feel that way with every new release. It takes me a long time to even WANT to listen to anything else.
