Wanted to give this a bump. I'm *just* getting into BGs and am considering this strategy as a first dip of my toes into these waters.
jjangoo, mind providing a DP on how much you're dumping VGCs via reload? (range - $1k to $2.5k? less? more?)
To all others - any other DPs on Amzn reloading via VGCs or Amzn GCs direct?
Also, are people using their personal Amazon accounts for this? or a new one that's dedicated just for BGs? I can see it both ways:
-
use your personal account - pro: your organic purchase and account history probably de-risks your BG transactions from the perspective of the automated risk algorithms - con: you risk getting your personal account banned if you get too greedy or careless
-
use a dedicated account - pro: sandbox your personal from your professional/BG account - con: newly created accounts using VGC reloads and Amzn GCs are likely more heavily scrutinized and flagged at the highest risk by their algorithms
