Question: Iris is an Amazon.com seller who sells refurbished cameras and televisions. They want to offer a Coupon to help drive product awareness during the holidays, but when they go to set up the Coupon, they get a notice that they are unable to offer this type of promotional offering. Which of the following reasons is why Iris is unable to offer Coupons to their customers?
- Coupons can't be offered during holiday seasons.
- Certified refurbished (renewed) products are ineligible for Coupons.
- Only vendors are allowed to offer Coupons.
Explanation
Coupons have eligibility rules that restrict certain product conditions from participation. Certified refurbished (renewed) products are excluded because Amazon limits Coupons to eligible retail offers that meet its promotional criteria. This restriction applies regardless of seasonal timing. Seller status alone does not create the issue because eligible sellers and vendors can use Coupons when product requirements are met.
Why the other options are incorrect
Holiday seasons is incorrect because Coupons are not disallowed solely because of seasonal timing.
Only vendors is incorrect because sellers can also create Coupons when eligible.
