Amazon - Thank my driver program

LdyBugz — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 23:43:36 GMT

The Amazon "Thank my driver" program is active again for a short time. If you have delivery notifications set up through Alexa, just simply say, "Alexa, thank my driver". I always thank my driver, and today Alexa responded saying she will give my driver a $5 reward to show appreciation. She also said this offering was for a limited time only, so I assume it's just for the holiday season. Cha-ching for the drivers! $$$ 😀

So typical of billion dollar corporations asking the for average or lower income person to pay their workers bonus. As it is the consumer already pay the driver.

If you have a favorite delivery man , mailman, gift them . The drivers deserve more especially during the holidays. The company should pay their bonus out of the large amounts purchases during this time.

@hopi. 8ts Amazon who pays the bonus at the request of customers.

I went on the Amazon site but could find no information about it. I remember it from last year and would like to see my guy get rewarded. He's the only one who'll ring my doorbell.

Just pay Mr. Bezos a little less and pay the drivers.

The money is paid by Amazon not by the customers.

Here is the info:

Starting December 4, when a customer says, “Alexa, thank my driver,” from an Alexa-enabled device or searches “thank my driver” on Amazon (app or web), the driver who completed their most recent delivery will be notified of the customer’s appreciation and, with each of the first 2 million thank-yous, drivers will also receive $5 at no cost to the customer.

@hopi

@Kachina624 is correct. It's coming out of Amazon's pocket. Sure, our purchases are paying for it in the end, but as @San Antonio Gal said, it's less in Bezos' pocket. I'd rather have the drivers get a little extra cash in their pockets to use however they choose then leaving some token gift they don't want or can't use. I never even see my drivers as most times the deliveries arrive when I'm at work.

Info about the program can be found by typing "Thank my driver" in the Amazon search bar. Below is a screenshot of the info.

I just put "tip my driver" in the Amazon search bar. My tip was acknowledged. I was thinking it was for yesterday's delivery but up popped a picture of a new Dooney bag I was expecting for tomorrow. I quickly went to the door and there it was. It would have stayed there overnight since I had no clue it was there.

So I got my reward too. Now I'm going to go move into my new Dooney.

Why not? That's $10 million dollars going out to the drivers.

Appreciate the heads up @LdyBugz

Amazon delivered two items yesterday, so I went online and typed thank my driver. Sure enough, it took care of my delivery driver yesterday.

$5 starts to add up for these hard working drivers out there in rain, sleet, ice, and snow. Bless them, as I stay safe and warm at home.

Thanks again for sharing. Cheers.

It's not just the $5, more important is the drivers knowing they are appreciated.

I don't know about anyone else but I have not had the same Amazon driver twice.

My UPS guy, yes, but not Amazon.
