Thanks to Deal Editor citan359 for sharing this with the community.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How can I thank my driver?
  • You can say "Alexa, thank my driver" or "Alexa, tell my driver thank you" using your Echo device or Alexa on the Alexa App and Amazon App on your smartphone to thank your driver for the most recent delivery made in the last 14 days.
2. Which delivery drivers are eligible to receive $5 per "thank you"?
  • Amazon Flex Delivery Partners, Delivery Associates employed by Amazon Delivery Service Partners and Hub DP drivers who deliver Amazon packages in the United States are eligible for this promotion, and will receive $5 for the first 1 million "thank yous" received, starting December 7. Deliveries by other partners are not eligible for the $5 promotion, but we will share customers' "thank yous" with those partners. Deliveries are only eligible for this promotion for 14 days after the delivery is made.
3. What happens if I thank my driver for the same delivery multiple times?
  • You can thank your driver for the same delivery multiple times, however, the driver associated with the delivery will only receive a maximum of $5 per delivery.
4. How will I know that the driver will receive the $5 when I say thank you? Will I be charged?
  • To confirm that your "thank you" has been processed and $5 will be sent to the driver, Alexa will respond, "Glad you enjoyed your most recent delivery. Since you shared your appreciation with your driver, as a special thanks this holiday season, your driver will receive an extra $5 at no cost to you. This promotion is for a limited time only." You will not be charged anything when you thank your driver.
5. I don't own an Echo device. Can I still thank my driver?
  • Yes, you can thank your driver using Alexa on the Amazon App or the Alexa App on your smartphone. Start by opening either the Amazon App or the Alexa App, and tap on the Alexa button in the bottom right corner of the screen to speak. Once microphone permissions are enabled, you can tap the Alexa button again and say, "Alexa, Thank My Driver."
6. What if I don't own a smartphone?
  • At this time, only customers who have access to an Echo device, the Amazon App, or the Alexa App on their smartphone can access the feature.
7. What happens after 1 million "thank yous" are received?
  • The $5 promotion will end after 1 million "thank yous" are received. You will still be able to thank your driver using Alexa and we will share your appreciation with our delivery partners.

Imagine that pitch meeting. "Instead of giving them bonuses for working hard, build in some extra steps for customers, which most people won't even bother with. Win for PR, win for profits!"
Too bad they don't just pay them a bit more or throw in a small bonus instead of this marketing PR nonsense. Still it's better than nothing I guess.
If anyone ever knocked/rang the door bell to let me know my package was there, I'd be happy to thank them.

sure, why not. amazon has already delivered my good well within expectations. i use the lock 95% of the time but for those items that don't fit, i'm not afraid of a misdelivery or having to wait around all day so my packages don't end up stolen. thank you!

Great idea to help these overworked drivers! I also used the Amazon app on my phone to access Alexa.

Amazon Shopping app worked fine 👍

sounds as though you can do it repeatedly after each new delivery.

Is there a way to thank for older orders that are within the 14 day window? I tried in the app by going to a delivery from 4 days ago but when I told alexa to thank my driver, it just rethanked for the delivery I had today.

I had multiple deliveries today and it appears the last one was UPS and Alexa said they will "share your thanks with our delivery partner UPS". Any idea how to get it to thank the Amazon driver instead?

It looks like you can only thank the driver who did the most recent delivery.


Quote from happygooddeal :
Last Amazon delivery were delivered to my neighbor and pouring rain thus packages wet. I still thank the driver.
That's nice of you. I get Amazon packages on a regular basis; approximately once per month, my package will end up elsewhere - usually across the street - but knowing that drivers have hundreds of deliveries daily, I can understand small mistakes like that.


Take care,
Tofu Vic

Have you tried adding that request to your delivery notes? I ask because I added one to tell them to stop ringing mine.
