What Happened to the Original Amazon Giveaway Tool?

Amazon retired Amazon Giveaway in October 2019. Third-party reports say new giveaways stopped on 10 October and entries closed on 17 October. Amazon didn't give a reason, and it hasn't replaced the tool.

Sellers now run Amazon-related giveaways off Amazon. You can use Gleam to host the campaign, with the Amazon product as the prize. Entrants enter on your Gleam landing page and you draw winners when it ends.

To set one up:

  1. Create a Competition and describe the product on the Prizes tab.
  2. Add entry methods on the How to Enter tab, such as Visit a page or Subscribe.
  3. Share your landing page link, and draw winners on the Winners tab when it ends.

Gleam can't see your Amazon account or fulfil prizes for you, so you handle delivery yourself. Check Amazon's seller and Seller Central policies before you tie a giveaway to a listing, because we haven't verified what they allow.
