[GET] Free and Discounted Amazon Products.

[Lumos]

Hi Folks.
There is a Udemy course posted several times here about this exact topic;
I am making this thread because it leaves out some info that could really cause some folks a world of hurt.

To start with - if you want to get free and discounted stuff from Amazon, EVER, I strongly suggest setting up a totally extra account by any means that you need to - and NEVER use any account that is also used for your selling for this stuff.

Here is what the presenter leaves out:
Amazon is really great at surveillance and there is a very large chance you will be ID'd as having relationships with sellers, which is forbidden in their terms.

Once that happens you are blacklisted PERMANENTLY in their so-called 'community' and blocked from making any more reviews, and cannot even post questions on items - in other words:
Amazon gags you for good with NO repeal possible, forever.

Worse than that - your reviewer rating is gone and all the hundreds (or more) of reviews that you put up - are gone and cannot be accessed at all, ever again.

How do I know this info ??
It happened to me after I was merrily getting cool stuff for about 6 months.

No warnings.
No email saying they did this - I even called and their reps aren't allowed to speak of it, but instead sent me to their security dept. who told me they could not answer, but that I'd get an email - which I did.
It told me what I just told you - and none too politely either.

Here is the gist of the course:
1. Obviously you need a buyer account at Amazon - and if it has Prime, so much the better for you.
(Side note=> a really good member here sells terrific EDU accounts and you can get 6 months Prime free followed by 1/2 price Prime with one.)
2. Join Vipon.com and other sites like it - these are typically thrilled to get new members.
3. Find goodies, get discount codes, buy stuff !!
-- a. Most stuff is NOT free anymore;
-- b. Most stuff is limited to a single item;
-- c. Getting enough of this stuff for resale is just a come-on;
-- d. Each deal requires a separate transaction.
4. Post reviews - not super fast either, as they watch for this.
-- a. Reviews cannot be repetitive, it is also watched for;
-- b. Keep watch on the rules as they change 'em...alot !!
5. You will get a reviewer rating and if you approach the top 10k or so, sellers will contact you offering goodies.
6. Outside agencies also watch reviewer ratings and will email your contact email address with offers that LOOK free;
Be very wary of these because a great many of them are sneaky liars.

They tell you to buy it at full price or slightly discounted and promise to refund in full AFTER your review is posted and sent to them...but they sort of...forget that last part rather conveniently a bit too often.

That is all the info you need in order to get started and do this.
As I said before - most offers are NOT free, and lots that are free are stuff you'd toss right into the trash anyhow.
