My wife and my accounts were frozen in the same way, and after a while I decided it couldn't hurt to e-mail them. I told them that sending money abck and forth between us doesn't violate any of the TOS and we use the service to split up different bills, something like that. Since we aren't violating the ToS, why have the accounts been disabled/frozen?

Got a response the next day saying, "ok then" basically. Haven't had a problem since.
Interesting. Yes, my kids are "real," and the ss numbers I gave them are real. But they're under 18. Can you legitimately use AP if you're under 18?

Not sure I want to get Amazon involved in this. At least as long as my and my wife's AP accounts are still working. It would obviously be nice to be able to "move" more gift cards in a month (like I'd go buy some at Office Depot with my Ink card), but we're not talking big money. The $1000 I get from moving gift cards from my wife's AP account to my bank account takes care of our "regular" needs.
