You can log in using an existing ID. I don't know of any thread here on flyertalk (that doesn't mean one doesn't exist though) however the topic popped up on milepoint a few times. I am sure you can search for it over there.

That said, here are a few tips to help get you started:
- When you send money to someone (spouse/friend/yourself) make sure you have $0 in your account, otherwise you won't be able to select your credit card to fund the transfer (it will just send the money you have in your account first)
- Don't exceed $1000 per month to avoid detection (if you are playing the amazon payment game with a spouse or someone who shares the same credit card number but with separate names on the cards, you can send each other $1000 each for a total of $2,000 monthly spend)
-Make sure you select the "goods and services" option when you send money to avoid any potential cash advance fees charged by the CC company
-I would also suggest sending money back and forth with a real person (friend/spouse) as there has been chatter of amazon cracking down on multiple accounts belonging to the same person if they find out about it
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed!
