I've been doing this for months. I manage both accounts from my computer and we live at the same address - A > B (withdrawal to B's individual account) B > A (withdrawal to A's individual account). The only thing I do to avoid problems is I separate those two transactions by about a week, and I try to wait at least a few hours between transfer and withdrawal (Usually either transfer in morning and withdraw in evening, or transfer in evening and withdraw next morning). I also transfer varying amounts (not the full $1000) ranging between ~$985-$999 - and not the same amount between the two accounts. i.e., A-B transfer is $992, B-A is 997. |
I'm having trouble getting the account to work for my wife. I opened my AP account almost a year ago but didn't bother finding the "B" to send money to. Recently, I talked my wife into playing this game with me and I sent $45 to her email address. She had an Amazon account, but no AP account. She received the email for AP and followed all the steps including putting in her SSN and just verified her email address a few hours ago, but she still can't claim the money that is waiting to be claimed. She gets this message when she tries to claim the money.
As a result of changes to federal regulation, Amazon Payments is required to verify your identity. This functionality is temporarily disabled, pending verification of your information. Thank you for verifying your e-mail address! You can now use your Amazon Payments Personal Account to send and receive payments using an Amazon Payments account balance and bank accounts. |

The thing is that she's already verified her email address... It clearly says that her account is active and verified, but when she tries to claim the funds, it still says AP needs to verify her info. What gives? |

If it doesn't go through in a little while contact AP and they should be able to help so you don't have to wait for the funds to be returned and then resended. :) |

"We are unable to complete your transaction until further review. It can take up to 24 hours to complete this transaction. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause" So far all payments have still eventually gone through, but, 'spidey sense' tells me this party could be coming to an end soon. One reason I haven't gone big into AMEX GC's despite BigCrumbs having returned. |

Something is definitely 'different' this month. For nearly 3 years all my payments would go through instantly. Now this month, every payment has been gone to 'pending' status for hours on end, and clicking on the details greets you with the following message:

It's been taking approx. 6 hours to get my transactions approved. I send at around $350.

I linked one of my mom's CC and it turns out the card wasn't active (she never activated the card, lol). Her AP account was all screwy. It said everything was active and verified, but she couldn't claim the funds. I patiently waited for 3-5 (forgot how long) days and she could never claim the funds. Long story short, after many calls I got them to cancel the transaction and they refunded me the money so I didn't have to wait the full 30 days. Now everything is dandy, for now... |
