Gifts from clients less likely to affect independence and objectivity. However gifts for future performance might affect – at the cost of other clients right?

Situation2: ClientF announces 2-airtickets to Hawaii for performance exceeding 2% the benchmark - Yes violation
Qn: How about if ClientP’s gift could trigger off a signal that she is a rewarding client?
