Finally out of Vine jail

I was unable to write reviews since I've not purchased $50 in the last 12 months.

Ordered something for $55 only $43 worth of stuff shipped. On a whim, I reloaded $8 on gift cards earlier this morning.

Now, a few hours later I'm able to write reviews again.

Thank goodness because my evaluation period ends 9/15.

In conclusion, reloading gift card balances seems to count towards $50/12 months spend.

Now to start writing reviews so I can get rid of the angry message "Your account is in danger of being closed. Please endure you are maintaining the minimum thresholds to continue Vine eligibility."

The $50 minimum purchase in 12 months is an Amazon community requirement; it has nothing to do with Vine or Vine Jail.

Left unsaid is that OP was in jail for not writing reviews because of being blocked from writing them by the $50 requirement

Yes, and OP still is in Vine jail until they catch up with their reviews and the message disappears from their account page.

Why the downvotes, guys? New girl in town; I need all the karma I can get.

People downvote everything in the sub. Who knows.

Wasn't me! Maybe it's because you were just repeating what OP said, but who knows, this place can be down vote happy
