You want to minimize risk. 1K limit from Amazon, and you're shooting off that limit in one go. That would look really suspicious if I was Amazon. Not to mention, it's an automatic "Pending" status. :td: I guess Amazon sees that I send high amounts a lot. So I doubt it's a bother any more. The first few times. I panicked. But then I realized they went through with no problems. Didn't panic much anymore. :cool: Never in one transaction. ^ Read above what I said above. I think it would also help if people read through the past, eh. 25-30 pages or so. A lot of good information. ^ It's how I developed my plan of attack. I had 3 transactions go through instantly. 1.3K. 1K on one account. $300 on another. ^ Same card. :cool: |

In the past, I've sent anywhere from $500-600 a shot without any issues. If the account gets shut down, I learned my lesson. Now the transaction wasn't $1k exactly but slightly less. C'est la vie.
I know there is some people that do really specific sends e.g. $324.75. I use spreadsheets to track where money is coming and going. Too much accounting for such a simple operation. Different strokes for different folks. :) |
my brother just sent $1k to me today and I already received and initiated the withdrawal within 10 minutes of receiving it.
no problem so far. |

I'm still waiting for pending status to hopefully resolve from about 5 hours ago. The longer it takes, the less cheerful I become.

Sent $500 (last of my $500 Chase/Visa gift cards) and it went through in about 2 minutes (meaning just now...)
Side note, I sent $1,000 usually but didn't this time due to the issues in the past 24 hours posted. But I almost always do and haven't had any issues for over a year doing that method. |
I just figured I would add my data points, Send $550 using my Amex on Friday night and got pending status. Woke and transaction had cleared and withdrew to my bank. Went to my next account Saturday morning and sent $1000 in close to $300 dollar increments and all cleared instantly and I was able to quickly withdraw to my bank account.
I currently run an A->B->C->D->A operation sending the max 1K per month all with separate bank accounts and I have had the occasional pending transaction with amounts over $500 dollars but never with under $500 so I wonder if it is the larger amounts that trigger pending transactions? |
Additional data point: I send $1K each month without issues (though to be fair I'm only on the fourth month doing this).
I send from my PC on home wireless and log in as my spouse on my cell phone's cellular network to avoid any IP similarities. |
So no one is having troubles sending over $100/transaction this month? Thats strange, because I am.
I've added two $200 MC GCs and each time I try to fully liquidate the transaction fails, but when I tried doing $100 at a time it went through. Thought I remembered reading about a transaction limit change, but didn't see anyone running in to that issue. |

True, thanks for the reminder. I hadn't run in to that issue before, but I bet thats whats going on.

I am just jumping into this now in the hopes of building up more spend starting in the new year.
I just set up my Amazon Payments account and somehow got my account features restricted because of a failure to verify my account info. Could this be because I used my work address instead of my home address in my account information? I usually use work for non-personal mail, so I assumed this wouldn't be a problem, and it seems I was wrong. I've already sent an email and spoken with a representative to have the restriction lifted so that I can try to re-enter my info. I just wanted to check and see if this is likely the reason. I can't see what else could've caused the verification to fail. Also as a quick question, I've seen a lot of people posting about breaking up their sends. Is this necessary or just a precaution? I was hoping to make the process as simple as possible by just doing a $1000 send each month. |
