Happy to hear that!
I think the reason is Amazon never cares so trivia. It surely can detect the two transactions made at the same place, some IP, or same computer. But after all, they put 1k limit to prevent abuse. This is better than citi who let you do whatever you want and suddenly kick you out. Reader, be cautious: I think it is always possible that Amazon changes its mind and shut you down for A-B-A transfer. My suggestion is to make those transactions separate as much as you can within a month and also be mentally prepared to find out your amazon account is closed tomorrow morning. I think I am ready for both so I am in. I will report if I get shut down. |
Twodawgs and augustus21, thanks for taking the time to reply.
The transactions posted in time for May. Now I know not to cut it so close for June! |
I got a pretty funny "get lost" message today while trying to get my non-citizen wife's AP account going.
While not a citizen, she is a resident for tax purposes and has an ITIN and credit history in the US. She wasn't asked for a driver's license at any time, but the account was suspended after several hours, pending additional info (address, phone, ITIN again, etc.). When that was provided, the account breathed once more for several hours before being suspended once more, this time with no prompts for more info. I opened a support ticket and had a representative contact us mentioning that they were referring the case to the verification department, and about two hours later we got the following message: "Hello from Amazon Payments. Unfortunately, we have been unable to confirm your account information which is required in order to utilize this service. We regret we are unable to provide further information on this situation. Further correspondence regarding the restrictions of your Amazon Payments account may not be answered. Thank you for your interest in Amazon Payments. Sincerely, Account Specialist Amazon Payments https://payments.amazon.com" The ticket is closed on site, so I'm guessing the message here is "no thanks". Her credit history is short, so I'm not sure if what's shutting her down is this or that the ITIN is somehow keying in that she is not an "official" resident. A resident in the eyes of the IRS, but not enough so as to be able to play in the jungle... (For those interested, there were absolutely no issues with GW.) |
Are you guys doing A-B-A with the same credit card account (2nd person is authorized user)?

Short credit history is an issue. Took quite an effort to get ADK, Jr. into GW as he was just 18 a few weeks ago.

Ah...I just logged in here to see if anybody else is having a 'pending' transaction problem. It's only been 10 minutes or so (typically takes less than 1 minute!); do I just need to be patient?

Yes but they always go thru..sometimes even takes a couple of hours

Has anyone executed AP sending money from outside US?
I am concerning if non-US IP address may cause the red flags. Asked the same question in BB thread and it looks VR/BB is fine with it. |
