Black92LXCan’t do a product review on Amazon if you bought it as a deal of the day
I did not realize if you purchased something on Amazon at a deep discount (ie: their deal of the day) you can’t submit a product review.
Purchased one of the wireless charging pads for the iPhone as the deal of the day. Normally like $19.99 I paid $8.47 as it had good reviews. Yes, I know you get what you pay for so I am not really worried about being out $8.50.
But I am pretty chapped it won’t let me write a review letting people no it sucks and not to bother.
It works if you need a little juice here and there but if you want to charge overnight it shuts off at about a 50% charge if your phone was close to dead.
ONE STAR but I can’t post a review

zoom6zoommight just be a glitch; I've posted reviews on deep discounted items and daily deals many times.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. February 10, 2018, 08:46 PM
mcrimmI’d second the glitch vote.
I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

Pale HorseIt must be a glitch. Amazon lets you review things you haven't even bought.

BisleyblackhawkI got the same message from Amazon when I tried to write a positive review on a little aluminum iPod/iPhone stand thingy that I bought on a daily deal...it was 50% off IIRC...under $6 w/ Prime...
Couldn't review the item or the seller

bdylanMust be some other issue. I've reviewed stuff I didn't even buy from Amazon.

If you just bought it, it could be that their 'purchase verification' system is different for 'deals of the day' and needs time to catches up.
Or, if it's been awhile and if it really bothers you, you could buy a new one. When it comes, see how it goes. If it's good, return the original. If it's also bad, return both. Either way it wouldn't cost you anything as Amazon pays shipping on defective item returns, and you can review to your heart's content based on a 'verified purchase' from the second go.

SeotajiI can confirm that Amazon blocks you from reviewing a product due to a deep discount code.
Part of their plan to weed out paid reviews, other than the Amazon Vine program.
