Some reviews on Neon Ichiban are incentivized — the reviewer received a small amount of digital store credit (typically $0.01) for posting the review. Those reviews are always marked with a visible label:
The exact amount paid is printed inside the badge. A short notice also appears at the top of every review list so readers are primed before they scroll. Screen readers announce the full disclosure via aria-label.
We never gate payment on a minimum star rating, on positive sentiment, or on recommending the product. A reviewer is paid for submitting a review — not for saying anything in particular. The rating field on every review is optional; a one-star review earns exactly the same credit as a five-star review.
The incentive is paid as a milestone rather than per-review: post 10 reviews to earn $5 in store credit. Progress is displayed in your profile and on every review composer so you always know where you stand. The reward is paid in a single credit on the tenth qualifying review, and it is never conditional on what you said or how many stars you gave.
The per-review disclosure badge still appears on any review where any portion of the $5 milestone has been attributed — consistent with 16 CFR 255 requiring disclosure on every incentivized endorsement, not only on the one that tipped the customer over the threshold.
aria-label.This policy is aligned with the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and the 2023 FTC Rule on Fake and Deceptive Reviews. If you spot a review you believe is misleading, or have questions about how rewards work, contact support@neonichiban.com.
