Yes it is based on one of the two.

will help you out this time (please search next time on) - it's based on a calendar month.

I think A to B to C is safe to do.. Not sure about A to B to C to A, any recent experiences?

Corporations are people, too. The Supreme Court said it in Citizens United.

LOL. It was really annoying when I took them to Six Flags, though. At only 11" tall, I couldn't take them on any of the rides.

Trying to get a sense of whether Amazon gets antsy about withdrawals. For example, would A->B -> Solo checking account of B raise flags? Is it only when B then turns around and does a transfer (through AP) to A that there is potential problem? I've read through some recent posted and tried searching, just looking for a few data points. PM if so desired.

I may have done something "above the radar" today - I used AP for ........dare I say it........an actual purchase on Amazon.

No problems this month doing A>B where both are same SS number and slightly different first name (david and dave). Been doing this for quite some time.

So is the consensus still that it's too risky to use "duplicate" AP accounts? I have a second account (same name) that I haven't touched this month. It seems a shame to let that $1000 limit just go to waste, but if the odds of getting "shut down" are high, it's probably the right thing to do.

Definitely risky. I still intend to play hide and seek in the jungle (even with multiple closed accounts, I still have many to play with), but Cardinal Fang is holding about $500 of my funds from closed accounts which might be better used over in KIVA. :cool:

OMG that is amazing, I bet they will give you 1,000,000 bonus points at Amazon Payments.

Thanks. But spending only $1000/month in gift cards on my Ink card feels like a huge missed opportunity. I know some folks trudge into CVS with their OD-bought gift cards and try to buy Vanilla Reloads for Bluebird, but I honestly don't think that would fly in my hometown. Any other way I could safely turn OD gift cards back into cash?

What happens if you give AMZN payments a random SSN and DOB to sign up? What do they use to verify? I worry about their database being hacked, or stolen by an internal employee.

AlohaDaveKennedy Jan 30, 2013 4:15 pm

As long as the phony SSN and DOB match up with your phony drivers license number and phony tax address you should do just fine. Geez, what is there to worry about - the feds have been leaking SSNs for years.:eek:
