Hi everyone,

I’m trying to better understand how Vine reviews interact with product variations under the updated rules (post-April 2025).

I’m about to launch a new variation of a product that already has 16 Vine reviews (from a completed Vine campaign). My plan is:

1. Launch the new variation as a standalone ASIN first.
2. Enroll it in Vine to gather up to 30 reviews
3. After the Vine campaign is completed, add it as a variation (child ASIN) to the existing parent listing

Before moving forward, I want to confirm:

• Is this strategy allowed under Amazon’s current policies?
• Will the Vine reviews collected while the product was standalone carry over once added as a variation?
• Will the parent listing then display all the reviews (organic + Vine)?
• Is there a cap on the number of Vine reviews shown at the parent level?

I’m not trying to game the system — I just want to follow the correct steps and make sure I’m not risking suppression or policy violations. Any official guidance or community experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
