I had the same concern, but it seems legit. The company running the sweepstakes, PromoVeritas, is a legit company that's been around for 20 years. I'm not 100% sure that it's legit, but I'm 99.99%.

Is it worth it to fill out the w9 for the $350.

That's your call. Depends on your tax bracket etc

What’s the maximum allowed before needing a w-2?

My eyes glaze over when I see sweepstakes. Finally bit me this time.
Didn't help that the only posts on this were when I was in TLV though. Oh well.

Side note: Everyone and their grandmother out there was talking about prime day, yet I didn't hear about this.

I can't even recall signing up for this. Got $250, $100 and $50. It says I had 139 entries, I have no clue what constitutes an entry. I was traveling during prime day and didn't purchase anything, so I guess I did pretty well for Prime Day.

I’d say this went as well as it could for Amazon. Launch it this year to no fanfare. But next year everyone will be clamoring to participate and support small business.

And we will all lose

Got the $100 in my account BH

Am I the only one that sees more value in a $50 Amazon GC than any of the non GC prizes (assuming they are non transferable)?

IDK. Are these types of awards usually transferable? Where would one sell them?

You can buy whatever you want with your Amazon balance, including Amazon GCs.

Legit?

After questioning it I just left the sweepstakes for another day
Next time around I won't be a loser and not ask any questions

If not for this forum post about the sweepstakes, I would have for sure skipped and thought it’s a scam… now I got a $100 gift card bh!!
