smoothmunkey and macdonaldj2, Can you please delete those links? Why give him free traffic?

I'm having the issue with displaying the last page (page 304 again). I don't expect anyone can read this, but I'm just trying to fill up the page

:-)

Obviously you're not supposed to have the same CC on multiple AP accounts. But what about having the same card on an AP account and a regular Amazon account, both under the same name? Do we have any stories of headhunters coming after people for that?

I've got a card that I'm trying to reach the min spend on, and was planning to use AP, but also have a decent amount of legitimate purchases to make from Amazon. Just making sure I don't have to choose one or the other.

Done.

About how long until I can reopen a suspended account? The account had nothing in common with any other accounts (my wife's account) yet was still shut down a few days ago. Bank accounts, SSN, address, phone number, Credit cards, everything was different.

There was a discussion similar to this about 30 posts back... around post #4518.

Strange nonfunctional account
 
My account has hit an werid state -- can't send nor receive, always got "failed payment", the limit is not yet reached, and no red flag according to amazon payment representative (called twice).

It was all good before until I tried to send payment with amex gc. failed twice, I gave up and used a real citibank cc, again, failed twice, so I called citi and was told the payment was not yet attempted on their side (i.e., no activity at all) Finally, I asked my friend to send me a payment (his account is in good standing), and found it surprisingly again it failed. I thought I am blocked so I called amazon payment finally, but the representative says my account is fine and suspects things wrong with the other party (recepient or sender) -- I readly doubt as my friend told me all his sends and receives are approved except the one to mine.

All failed payments on my account, send or receive (told by my friend), will always start with "pending" for 5-6 hours until it went to "failed"

Strangest thing I ever had, what could I do? Abandon and move on?

Thanks

Maybe you can send Amazon an email to close down the account and then reopen it ?

Was just going to suggest this. You have I jump through some hoops to find out who to contact but they can close just your payments account and then you should be able to reopen one. I did it a while back with a problem account.

Question about using AP (and a credit card to get points) and rent:

I'm the primary on the credit card (with spouse as authorized user) and have a joint checking account with my spouse. My spouse also has own checking without my name.

Can I use AP to send $ to my spouse's personal checking account using the credit card as payment without raising any red flags?

I used my Citi Exec, on which I am the primary and my wife is AU, to send AP to my wife's AP account without any issue. I took these precautions: 1) linked wife's AP to her personal checking account, 2) linked her personal CC to AP (i am not AU on her CC), 3) used our friend's address on her account, 4) NEVER access both AP accounts from the same computer (I VPN to work computer to access mine), 5) sent smaller payments.

I thought I can use someone else's home address on DH's account but realized there may be problems if the address didn't jive with the one on file with CCC. I chose to input accurate info; que sera, sera.

So far, our accounts are still open (when it's open :D ); I take it one day at a time. Thank you amazon.

I have not found any information posted that answers my current query.

Is it possible to use Citi's virtual account numbers on Amazon Payments? If I can do this it means I can hit minimum spend on the Executive all the easier.

Quick question please. I searched Google and FT with no luck. How long does it usually take for the small deposits to post so you can verify your checking account with AP?

I am now on 6 days from when I put my Bluebird routing and account number into AP to verify.

Thanks

Thanks for the help! Today is the 5th business day. I will take your advice and delete and retry after 7 biz days.
