Who can file a BBB Review?

1 min. readlast update: 10.14.2024
  • Only the original consumer who had a marketplace interaction with a business, can file a BBB review.  Money need not have changed hands. The only exception is for incapacitated consumers who are unable to file a BBB customer review themselves.
  • BBB does not accept incentivized customer reviews. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where a consumer may receive a discount or a gift in exchange for a customer review, or a “mystery shopper” or the like, where a consumer is compensated (either by a third-party or the company itself) to shop a company who then submits a customer review.
  • Consumers with a bona fide business experience may file either a BBB customer review or a BBB complaint, but not both.
