Amazon’s ‘Thank My Driver’: Give Your Driver a $5 Tip in Seconds at No Cost to You

The holiday season is the perfect time to show appreciation, especially for those who work behind the scenes to make our lives easier. Delivery drivers, who often work long hours in low-paying jobs, help ensure our packages arrive on time. This holiday season, Amazon is offering an easy way for customers to thank these hardworking individuals—and it won’t cost you a thing.

Starting December 4, Amazon’s ‘Thank My Driver’ feature makes it simple to send a quick message of gratitude. To tip a driver, just type “Thank My Driver” into the Amazon search bar, or say, “Alexa, thank my driver,” and Amazon will send a $5 tip to the driver who completed your most recent delivery.  The best part? It’s completely free for you, and Amazon will reward the first 2 million thank-yous with the tip.

‘Alexa, Thank My Driver’: Promotion Gives Amazon Drivers a $5 Tip at No Cost to Customers

It only takes a couple of seconds to participate, and you’ll make a driver’s day a little brighter. The promotion makes it easy for customers to show appreciation without spending any money. In a year when many are looking for ways to give back, this is a simple and impactful gesture.

“Starting December 4, when a customer says, “Alexa, thank my driver,” from an Alexa-enabled device or searches “thank my driver” on Amazon (app or web), the driver who completed their most recent delivery will be notified of the customer’s appreciation and, with each of the first 2 million thank-yous, drivers will also receive $5 at no cost to the customer,” Amazon said.

Amazon is especially grateful for its drivers, who go above and beyond every day. This initiative brings attention to drivers like Bree Scott, Andrew Shearouse, and Mathew Sanders, who were among the most-thanked drivers from last year’s promotion.

Bree, a driver with Troxel Logistics in Fort Wayne, Indiana, shared that delivering during the holidays is especially rewarding. “It’s a great experience. I love knowing that I’m helping to make the holiday season better for customers,” she said.

Andrew, a driver for Supreme Veteran Logistics in Cincinnati, Ohio, values the appreciation he’s received from customers. “Treat your customers like family, and they will do the same to you,” he said.

Mathew, a driver with Leading Edge Logistix in Temecula, California, enjoys the variety that comes with his job. “I love the driving part. You’re always experiencing and seeing new things,” he explained.

This holiday season, take a moment to show some gratitude. It’s a fast and easy way to say “thank you” to the drivers who help make your holidays a little brighter. Just head to Amazon, type in “Thank My Driver,” and spread the love!
