This Christmas season, make use of this no-cost Amazon feature to express your gratitude.
In these busy times, Amazon drivers are delivering lots of packages. You’ve probably received an item (or 10 we’re not judged) that was delivered directly to your house and it wouldn’t be great to have an easy way to express your gratitude to the driver, without having to wait for them once they’re at your home. Amazon is offering exactly that this Christmas season. The first is “Alexa, Thank My Driver.”
With this easy Alexa command, you’ll be able to get your delivery driver a 5 tip, and it’s free to you. It’s true, Amazon will pay drivers an additional $5 for every thank-you you receive and why not try it? It’s only an hour and can make a big difference for the people who deliver us parcels all year.
Chances are that you spend lots of purchases through Amazon nowadays. From methods to save money by using coupons to the lack of shipping costs as well as the fantastic subscribe and save offers It’s easy to keep receiving more deliveries without thinking about those who make these deliveries during.
How can you be sure to reward your Amazon driver with a tip of $5
If you own an Alexa device in your home, such as one of the Echo, Echo Dot, or even the mobile app (Alexa and Amazon Shopping), all you need to do is say “Alexa Thank the driver who delivered my package,” as well as the driver that brought the most recent delivery to your residence will be informed of your gratitude. Amazon will pay out an additional $5 per thank-you for each of the initial 1 million thank-yous that are received in the coming months, and to sweeten the deal the five drivers that receive the most thank-yous throughout the time will be given an additional 10,000 for them as well as $10,000 for a charitable organization that they choose.
What drivers are eligible for the $5 tipping?
Amazon will reward the Flex Delivery Partners, the delivery assistants hired through Amazon Delivery Service Partners, and Hub DP drivers. Delivery services provided through other partners, including USPS, FedEx, and UPS will not be qualified for the reward however, Amazon is continuing to pass on its gratitude to them.
How do you determine whether your driver will receive five dollars in the tip?
After you’ve said, “Alexa, thank my driver for my driver’s service,” Alexa will respond with various messages. If your order is suitable and your driver was able to be given a tip, Alexa will reply by saying, “Glad you enjoyed your latest delivery. As you’ve shared your appreciation with your driver as a token of appreciation during the season of giving you will get an additional $5 without cost to you. This offer is valid for a brief period.”
What happens when the 1 million thank yous have been distributed?
Following the 1 millionth thank to you, Amazon will keep on showing your appreciation to the drivers, even though there is no financial incentive at the moment.
It’s important to note that this is coming after Amazon was accused of keeping driver tips off the Amazon Flex service, though we are confident that Amazon will indeed make the payments during the promotion time.
