But how many products/companies are doing this? If there's 500 different products/companies offering $20 gift cards for 5-star reviews you can milk that for awhile and spread the word to others who are also in on the scheme.
Unfortunately they don't seem to advertise the gift card.
Maybe there should be a site with current gift card offers - call it something like reviewbribes.com?
And do we use that site to avoid dodgy products/companies, or to 'side hustle' (god I hate that) reviewing and returning?!
Both. Those in on the hustle will do the work to keep the site updated (making money in the process). Everyone else just uses it to spot fake reviews.
