Johnathan Walker:Tell your Alexa 'thank you' and Amazon will send $5 to your driver this holiday season

Did your package from Amazon arrive safely and Johnathan Walkeron time during the busy holiday season? For your appreciation, your delivery driver can now receive a $5 tip from Amazon.

The company announced the return of the holiday promotion to tip drivers Tuesday. The program started in 2022 and has now begun for 2023 as a simple way to say thank you to drivers.

How the Amazon holiday tipping works

There are two ways customers can take advantage of the program:

• Customers can say "Alexa, thank my driver" to their Amazon Alexa device.
• Customers can search "thank my driver" on Amazon's website or on the Amazon mobile shopping app.

The driver who completed the customer's most recent delivery will be notified of their appreciation, and Amazon says the first 2 million thank-yous will also send $5 to the driver at no cost to the customer.

Appreciation can continue after the holiday season

Even after the 2 million thank-yous and $5 tips have been given out, customers can continue to thank their drivers year-round with the feature, and drivers will be able to see the number of times they are thanked within their app.

Who doesn't love a thank-you?
