(FRAUD BY AMAZON) $200 VINE FEE CHARGED DESPITE HAVING $200 VINE CREDITS
I want to bring to everyone's attention a concerning experience I've had with Amazon regarding their Vine Enrollment Fee. Initially, I was promised $200 in Vine credits if I successfully got brand registered, and this was a key incentive for me. However, just one day before the payment date, I was shocked to see an unauthorized charge of $200 for the Vine Enrollment Fee on my account. This is a clear violation of the terms they initially provided, and it feels like a breach of trust. I urge fellow community members to share their experiences and insights on this matter. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation with Amazon's Vine program? It's crucial for us to collectively address and resolve these issues, ensuring fair treatment for all sellers. Let's work together to shed light on these deceptive practices and hold Amazon accountable for their commitments.

There is usually a "use by" date and then brand registry wont go through until it expired....

@Tatiana_Amazon please help me with Vine credits

Have you attempted to reach out to the Brand Registry Team to explain the benefit that you didn't receive and maybe ask if they would entertain a reimbursement?
Also, while I am not denying your feelings, $200 is a drop-in-the-bucket of the total fees and advertising costs you will spend to be successful on Amazon. Vine, in my opinion, at $200 + goods is one of the more economical advertising options available, even if you wind up paying for it.

I cannot imagine paying money to elicit reviews from customers who give one star for receiving the wrong size from Amazon.

Hi @Seller_dklNCuA4pEamE,
Steve from Amazon here, thank you for reaching out in the Forums. I am sorry to hear about the experience you have had with this. I have engaged an internal team to review this situation and provide further guidance.
I will keep you updated with any developments as more information is available.
Thanks,
Steve

I had no issues with the vine credit but I was already brand registered and approved before starting a vina campain.

Thank you for the warning. We were considering enrolling in Vine, even without any credits, and now definitely wont. We value our relationship with Amazon, and are attempting to stay clear of anything that would jeopardize our relationship with them.

I suffered the same experience, we met all the requirements and it showed on the control panel that we received a Vine $200 credit, but the credit card still received a $200 bill with no credit.

Amazon did the same thing to me as well. They scam like this all the time with other promotions too. I lost my business because of Amazon and all their fees. We all did to get together and sue Jeff Bezos for sure.

Run far away from this.. you like others will be very unhappy when you get all those bad reviews at the behest of Amazon Bots... I do not understated why any seller engages in this.. Just say no.. Good Luck.
