Why ask now? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Because someone obviously feels the need to take up the johnny1 mantle.

Amazon seems to be having trouble verifying my SSN and identity information. I get the error:

Any idea how long this normally takes to clear up? Anyone I should call to expedite this?

you might try sending them an email... dont think there is a phone number.

That is what happened on three attempts for me. Finally got a confirmation that the second attempt was approved! I have NO idea what the problem was.

Sometimes this is a sign of permanent account suspension. You can get this message on existing accounts as well as new accounts. The AP messages are not always what they seem.

Just watch for landmines in the jungle as it is not a walk in the park anymore.:cool:

Using a US-based automatic identity verification service. Not all US nationals verify, however, especially young adults. Tell your husband to become a US citizen - then we can tax him to death to pay off our US debt. Oops, forgot, we ain't ever gonna pay off the debt as weez a democracy and weez going Greek.:p

AP is absolutely fine to use for non-citizens. No work-arounds required. (I am therefore assuming this is not in itself the cause of your problem).

Quick question: I bought a car from my dad for $1300. I can pay him over a couple of months as needed. Should I split it up like $650 one month and $650 the next month? Any problems using Delta AMEX Reserve? I'm assuming I select "goods and services"?
Sorry I know this is simplistic but I figure everyone in here knows AP like the back of their hand. I just want to get closer to my spend thresholds etc and get points as opposed to just sending him a check in the snail mail.

But there is a SSN and drivers license challenge and something more (maybe a credit inquiry). The "something more" is what snags the young adults and possibly non-citizens. Dunno who they are using for the robo look up there. :cool:

yes you can split into two payments in different months.
better to make them varying amounts (imo), but may not really matter.

No sure at the Delta Amex Reserve CC though, that will be for someone else to answer.

Looks like it cleared itself up on its own. I was just about to call them. I found the page where you type in a phone number and amazon calls you.

Works fine now.

I had the same issue and I click the call button and had them call me. The rep said they would forward my info to the verification department, i did receive an email a few days later that everything was fixed.

They def won't give him an account without an SSN. I can add him as an AU on my credit cards without a SSN so my plan was to have him use his AU card, send me the money once a month and I withdraw it to my BofA account.

Received new terms & conditions for my Travelocity Card from Barclay's.

They changed the definition of cash equivalent: "Cash Equivalent means the use of your Card or account number to obtain money orders, traveler's checks, foreign currency, lottery tickets, gambling chips, wire transfers, person to person money transfers (including but not limited to transfers facilitated over the internet) or use of your account to open a deposit account or to transfer value to a stored value card at a location or through a merchant other than a financial institution and any other transaction that MasterCard, Visa, and/or American Express (as applicable to your Account) may designate as a cash equivalent.

Now, I don't read the T&C often, but I saw "change in the definition of cash equivalent" and thought that was interesting... I've used it for Amazon payments in the past and will probably give it another shot next month.
