Edit 08-17-23: I’m quitting officially August 2023. I just can’t make myself do reviews anymore and it’s just not worth the pressure to do that, nor the pressure to keep under $600. I actually would feel less blocked by it if there was no tax junk tacked onto Americans.

I started the Amazon Vine program on October 26, 2022 (email invite 10-25-2022)

Initially I picked three things from the other offerings, having no specific recommendations yet.

The first things will arrive on Friday October 28th.

A grid notebook, a cat/dog fountain, and a label maker. All things that can be put to use immediately and reviewed easily.

Best part is, I have three more picks every day! 🙂

Caveat — I don’t know if I can do more or not, $0 taxable items are what I should have gone for at the start, but I’m still under $600 not sure how I should go about this yet, hubby may not be happy about it if… just need to review everything and keep picking Supplements, and things like that. Not super easy now, and really frustrated about how this may work out.

Want to be able to do more, but don’t want taxable problems. Need this is Hobby with not for profit with no intention of selling anything, only using what I get and giving it away to family and friends sometimes.

We honestly have things we need in the house and many things in Amazon Vine are useful for me/us. Program Ultimate Tax vs. Our Valued Savings not buying it, augh, the calculations needed. Hobby though still. I do like reviewing and installing, and using, and figuring it all out.

As it goes I did talk to my hubby yesterday, and he ended up saying he didn’t care if I went over $600, but I can’t go with anything he says, just because he says it. The next day he won’t have recalled he said it and based on something he said tonight, he sure as heck doesn’t.
