I set up a wedding registry with Amazon. At the end, if you meet the criteria for # of sales, you get a promised completion discount code. On my account, as I am now a Prime member, it says I can get 20% off a one-time order for Amazon-sold and shipped items up to $1,500 **** $300 discount). However, the discount code didn't work and Amazon said it is a glitch and I should only get 10% because I wasn't a paid prime member at the time of my wedding. I think Amazon should honor this discount (which is still listed in my account because I AM a paid prime member now). I meet all the criteria, it's outlined in my account, there doesn't seem to be any legit reason for them to not honor the code. They are a billion dollar company and we are talking about the difference of $150 (if I were to even max out the code). Weddings are expensive and my registry gave them funds that would have otherwise been given to another store had I not chosen Amazon.Business Response

Hello *******,
I'************* from Amazon.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
I've reviewed your complaint and I understand that you are concerned about wedding registry completion discount percentage.
Eligible Non-Prime customers that have received $500 or more in purchases from their Amazon Wedding Registry, receive a one-time 10% discount on a single order up to $1000 that can be used after customer's wedding (maximum discount of up to $100 USD).
Eligible Amazon Prime members that have received $500 or more in purchases from their Amazon Wedding Registry, receive a one-time 20% discount on a single order up to $1500 that can be used after the members wedding (maximum discount of up to $300 USD). This offer excludes trial and Household members.
The discount eligibility is automatically calculated by the system. The completion discount code email was sent on September 26, 2022 and your paid Prime Membership started on October 10, 2022 which makes your account eligible for only 10% completion discount.
You can find more details and terms and conditions here:
https://www.amazon.com/wedding/mp/completion-discount?ref_=hit_wr_mp_cmpd
Hence, I can confirm that discount you have received is correct. We're unable to offer any further discount regarding this matter. I'm sorry about any disappointment this may have caused .
We hope to see you again soon.Regards,

Amazon Prime Shipping, the fact that they have items listed and guarantee shipping all over the website. And have several instances where they have not satisfied their claims. I spent $40 for an item and waited a week for it. Their excuse is that it wasnt available at a nearer location. But they didnt update my delivery information until I reached out to them. And asking me to wait in total two weeks for an item that was guaranteed in 4 days. This is the second time in less than 30 days. I feel they should be made to change the language used to describe their services.Business Response

Hello *********************,
I'************* from Amazon.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
I've reviewed your complaint and I'm extremely sorry about the disappointment caused due to the shipping of your order for Drive Medical ***** Non Tilt Top Overbed Table, Silver Vein.
Firstly, I would like to inform that we calculate delivery estimates by adding the transit time to the estimated shipping date. An order placed Prime Two Day Shipping is expected to be delivered with in 2 business days after it is shipped out. Selecting One-Day or Two-Day shipping reduces the transit time to one or two business days after we've shipped your order, but won't impact the time it takes to obtain the item or prepare it for shipment. The shipping method time starts when the item ships. For example, it takes up to two business days after an item ships to reach you with Two-Day Shipping.
In this case, the delivery estimate of Saturday, October 8, 2022 - Tuesday, October 11, 2022 when you placed the order is the best we could provide at that time. Unfortunately due to unforeseen reasons the shipping of the order was delayed. I'm sorry, you haven't received updated delivery until October 11, 2022. This doesn't happen usually.
For the disappointing experience with this order, I've added a $25.00 gift card to your account. You can view your balance and usage history in Your Account here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/gc/balance/
Your gift card balance will be automatically applied to your next eligible order. If you don't wish to use your gift card balance, you'll see an option to choose whether you'd like to "Use your Gift Card or Promotional Balance" on the "Select a payment method" page. Any unused gift card balance will remain in your account until it's applied to an order. This option is not available for 1-click orders.
To learn more about using your gift card, visit our Help pages:

A complete lack of care regarding customer satisfaction and resolution! For over 2 years I have been attempting to get a bit of technical assistance (first email was sent in March of 2020). All I want to do is write a review of the products I purchased from Amazon. I have called and emailed repeatedly and I have not been able to get any resolution. Last week I spoke to a 'supervisor' by the name of ****, she promised me a callback and I never got it. I am on hold right now with the same department talking to another 'supervisor' who tells me that all she can do is escalated this issue and someone will get back to me. How is it that it takes more than 2 years to fix such a simple issue? I'd be happy with a call or an email telling me that they are working on the issue.Business Response

I can see that our team removed your review because we have noticed some unusual reviewing activity on your account. We place limits on it to preserve trust in customer reviews.
To learn more about this policy, go to Community Guidelines:

For any product/item, once we remove a review that does not comply with our guidelines, the reviewer may not submit any new reviews on the same product hence you will not be able to add a new review on it again.

I am rejecting this response because: this all started with a message stating: "We apologize but Amazon has noticed some unusual reviewing activity on this account. As a result, all reviews submitted by this account have been removed and this account will no longer be able to contribute reviews and other content on Amazon. If you would like to learn more, please see our community guidelines. To contact us about this decision, please email [email protected]." This message popped up the VERY FIRST time attempted to write a review. Since that time in 2020 I have asked for the reason behind this decision and all I have gotten is the exact same message. I am still waiting for the reason. What did I do to earn this exclusion from writing reviews? After 2 years of no resolution, I submitted this complaint via the BBB website. Almost immediately I got a response from Amazon and it still says the exact same thing and no explanation as to why this happened. I want an explanation and the ability to write reviews.
