I am also aware that IPs abroad work. Alot has been speculated about AP monitoring IPs, but more likely any monitoring is via cookies and such.

I set up all my accounts and got a "failed message." All it says under the Amazon Help menu is that it would let me know if I have a credit card that is denied. It was for $500, A>B, both different names, SS, same address. Any idea on what went wrong? I started reading both this thread and the slickdeals thread and could not find any information.

You read these threads and couldn't find any information??? :eek::eek:

Do both A & B have linked bank accounts? B can't accept payment from A (for the full monthly limit of $1K) until bank account has been verified.

Did you type in the credit card number and exp date correctly, no typos? That one has gotten me on a couple of occasions, like when entering gift cards, for example.

Hi everyone, after reading some 144 pages in the last two hours, can someone please kind enough to confirm the following?

"It's still safe to do
1) Credit Card in A's name -> A -> B -> B's Bank Acc
2) Credit Card in B's name -> B -> A -> A's Bank Acc
on the same computer with same IP address."

And we have no case where people got kick out because using the same IPs as of now, correct?

Thank you very much. :)

Never had an IP problem. My loop is bigger, not AB BA. I have had no problems with AB BC CD DE EA. Be sure all the linked accounts are unique. And, drain before sending otherwise you will just send the 1k you received. I always do this over a few days to let things resolve. Not sure that step is absolutely necessary but cant hurt.

Been doing this method for over a year every month and never had a problem. Make sure you change the amounts and descriptions so that they are realistic... i.e. (thanks for helping install the dishwasher) or something like that.

How about "Thanks for helping with my laundry" ???

Any issues likely with A to B, B to A where each party has a unique bank account and unique credit card numbers, but one party is an authorized user on the same credit card account?

I'd argue that amounts and descriptions don't make any difference, but if it makes you feel better, by all means do it.

I've been doing straight $1K amounts back and forth for over two years now.
And I have fun with the descriptions...last one was "Thanks for the massage with happy ending. ;) "

Next thread: "Help I'm being implicated in a prostitution bust, what do I tell the judge about my manufactured spending?"

Name on the CC doesn't matter. It's the account number that matters.
