Some reviews on Neon Ichiban are incentivized — the reviewer received digital store credit for posting the review. Those reviews are always marked with a visible label:
Incentivized review · [amount]
The exact amount attributed 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 earns credit for submitting a qualifying 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.
Credit may be earned per review, on a milestone basis, or through other structures as published on the Program Page. The current reward structure — including credit amounts, milestones, and per-user caps — is always available at neonichiban.com/hubs/community/review-policy. Regardless of the structure in effect, the reward is never conditional on what you said or how many stars you gave.
The per-review disclosure badge appears on any review where credit has been earned or attributed — consistent with 16 CFR 255 requiring disclosure on every incentivized endorsement, not only on the one that tipped the reviewer over a milestone threshold.
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.
