The other challenge is that if any issues arise with the seller or with the shipment, you have no recourse with GCs. With a CC theres various buyer protections.
Happy New Year! How are you doing? Thanks for telling me your story. May I ask what happend after Amazon flagged your account? Did thet close your account? Or, did they just give you a warning? Thanks.
