Joylife -- You can avoid receiving some types of gift points for reviewing. You cannot turn off the automated Daily Review Rewards unless you take StoryMaster up on his administrative option. Note that this is the smallest automatic incentive offered. You can turn off or avoid receiving the rest of the automated options: You can turn off the Review Mixer gift points by going to My Account/Account Settings, Other Options, and setting the Review Mixer Opt-Out: to Opt Out of Review Mixer. Scroll to the bottom of the section and click Submit Changes. You can avoid receiving review rewards from other members by sending all your reviews Private instead of Public. In the Other Options, you can set Public Review Checkbox Default: to Default as Not Checked. Scroll to the bottom of the section and click Submit Changes. This sets the default. You could still change that check box on each individual review. You can avoid entering the site Good Deeds contest. In the Other Options, you can set Review Contest Entry Checkbox Default: to Default as Not Checked. Scroll to the bottom of the section and click Submit Changes. Again, that sets the default, and you could still change that check box on each individual review. You can avoid receiving AutoRewards (most of the time) by checking the item's Review Box area before you start reading an item to make sure there isn't an AutoReward offered on the item. Newbies are less likely to be using this option. You can avoid receiving gift points from Read & Review (random reviews) by not choosing your items by clicking that button in the left nav menu. You can use the Community/Read a Newbie listing or the Browse by Type/Genre listings to choose items (that don't offer an AutoReward -- it's shown in the listing). You can go to your Reviews tab and turn off your Review Request form. Click the gear icon at the upper left of the Reviews tab to open the Manage area, and set the Minimum Gift Points accepted for Review Requests: drop menu to Do Not Accept Review Requests. and scroll down to click Submit Review Info. There isn't an option not to receive gift points directly from the person you reviewed as a thank you. Even the administrative option StoryMaster mentioned won't do that. Hope that helps.
