This is pretty standard for businesses. Having good reviews and scores on things like Google, Yelp, Trust Pilot, etc. is pivotal to their success as a business

Perhaps, but the practices described corrupt the flow of free information that is necessary for an efficient market, and they are also against Google and FTC policy.

Yea. Every restaurant seems to have one of those cards to leave good Yelp reviews, Amazon orders, etc etc.

Even mobile apps ask if you’ll give them a positive review.

I lived in LUXURY buildings in other states and they all did the same thing.

Although often it's even more of a scam --- instead of "$XXX for good review", it can be "your chance to win $XXX for a good review" which means only one resident gets the money, and certainly someone the management likes.
