Forget Santa, these are the real people who deliver the holiday gifts and now Amazon wants to reward their delivery drivers with a little help from customers.

Amazon has reintroduced its “Thank My Driver” program.

It allows customers to thank their delivery driver who brought their most recent delivery, paying $5 to the driver at no cost to the consumer.

All you have to do is tell Alexa, “Alexa, thank my driver” or search “thank my driver” on the Amazon app or website. The company will then send the driver the customer’s thanks and for the first two million thank yous, a $5 bonus, the company said.

Only delivery drivers in the U.S. who deliver Amazon packages can get the thank you through the program. They include Delivery Service Partner Delivery Associates, Amazon Flex delivery partners and Hub Delivery Associates.

The thank you must be sent within 14 days of the delivery date, the company said.
