The last time I got one of those cards I wrote a 1-star review of the product for that reason. Amazon refused to publish the review citing their policy that product reviews aren’t meant to be reviews of the seller (even in this case when the seller is also the manufacturer and doing shady review manipulation). Sellers only play those games because Amazon is on their side.

And the process of “reviewing the seller” (IE reporting them for bribing you) is made extremely difficult by Amazon. It’s nice that Amazon has gotten the government to enforce policy for them in their platform, it must be a lot cheaper to pay lobbyists than to make their platform work.
