What I would do is write the 5 star review, get the gift card, and then edit the review.

Interesting take, and who would the seller complain to about the modified review? Amazon? "Yes Amazon, we paid this customer $20 for a five star review against your policy, and they changed the review to be more honest after they got our money!"

The only problem might be if Amazon decided you were affiliated with the scammy seller and penalized your account or blocked you from buying.

Well the complaint is that one-star reviews get deleted.
