Nope, you can't vote more than once on anything. You can't vote on your own reviews. That said, there are some seriously out-of-control people -- both reviewers and authors -- who establish multiple accounts, and rotate them, casting one vote per account. That's not only against Amazon's policy -- you'll be barred from voting again if they catch you, which they try to -- but it's just a silly waste of time, IMO. Anyone doing it is one step away from donning tin foil headdresses.
If Vine invitations were issued based on spending, mine would have arrived a lot sooner. Ditto the %, or even the ranking -- I had been in the top 500 for months before I was invited. There are people who are ranked 2,500 or so and have 25 reviews to their credit with a helpful rating of 60% who are in Vine. Trying to decode that will make you so crazy you will need that tin foil headdress.

[quote=""Chatterbox""]Confession: I had been eyeing that PG cover with deep suspicion before posting the tin-foil headdress reference. I think Ms. Woodville-Grey might actually look better in tin-foil than that.... that... words fail me.[/quote]
At the risk of going OT and having to slap my own hand, I think my favorite description so far is the one on Goodreads where it's referred to as an upended flower pot.
