The Amazon Shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon or completing short surveys about your opinion on brands or products that may be of interest to you. Earning rewards is easy. Simply upload eligible receipts by using the Amazon Shopper Panel app to take pictures of paper receipts or by forwarding email receipts to receipts@panel.amazon.com and you’ll earn up to $10 per month towards either an Amazon Balance or a charitable donation. You’ll earn rewards each month for every survey you complete and if you turn on ad verification on your mobile device you'll receive more, relevant surveys each month based on the ads you see from Amazon. Ads from Amazon can include Amazon’s own advertising or third-party businesses that advertise through Amazon Ads. Space is limited and you may only be eligible to participate in certain parts of the program. You can check if you are eligible by tapping on the Receipts or Surveys tabs, or by visiting Ad verification in the panel app's settings. Your participation will help brands offer better products and make Amazon ads more relevant. Participation in the Amazon Shopper Panel is voluntary and panelists can stop using the app, sharing receipts, answering survey questions, or enabling ad verification at any time. The Amazon Shopper Panel is available to a limited number of Amazon customers who are 18 years of age or over and in the US. If you received an invitation, download the app now. Interested customers who did not receive an invitation can download the app to join the waitlist and will be notified via email if space becomes available.

About

Some things you can control. Some you can influence. Most, you can only worry about. CircleMind is built on one idea from Stephen Covey: sort what is on your mind into three circles — Control, Influence, Concern — and spend your energy where it actually changes something. WRITE IT DOWN, THEN PLACE IT Every worry becomes a note on your board. Three questions decide where it belongs: can you decide the outcome? Can you act on it, even if someone else decides? Or is it simply out of your hands? Learning to place a worry yourself is the whole point — the app never does it behind your back. REFLECT, IN FIVE STEPS A guided flow that takes one worry from "this is on my mind" to "here is the one thing I will do about it". YOUR DEVICE THINKS WITH YOU On a note you cannot control, CircleMind can reframe it: what is genuinely out of your hands, what is still yours to act on, and small concrete steps. Accept a step and it files itself in your Circle of Control — which is the move the whole method points at. This runs entirely on your device, on Apple Intelligence. Your notes are never sent to a server. Not to ours, not to anyone's. That is not a setting you switch on; it is the only way the feature works. SEE THE SHAPE OF YOUR WEEK Insights shows how your notes fall across the three circles. With Pro, your device reads back the week you actually had: what moved, what stalled, and the one thing worth your attention next. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE • 10 notes • One guided reflection a week • Three AI reframes a week • The Circle of Control guide • Your distribution chart • iCloud sync across your devices CIRCLEMIND PRO • Unlimited notes and reflections • Unlimited on-device AI reframing • Your weekly summary, written on your device • Full Insights: trends, emotional intensity, what you completed and what you let go • All three guides CircleMind is a thinking tool. It is not a health app, and it is not a substitute for a professional. If what you write is weighing on you, the app will point you to people who can help. SUBSCRIPTION CircleMind Pro is available monthly, or yearly with one week free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
