I use this: A > B > C > A.

At the end of the day, AZ can easily catch people with simple algorithms, there's no 100% safe way of doing things.

Looks like us AP users have a bit of relief with any shutdowns for a while. Drones are too busy airlifting Bezos out of paradise.

It's just a publicity stunt for their new drone delivery....

I thought there was a $1000 per month limit on both sending and receiving with AP. How were you able to make it so C could receive $2000 in a month?

You are correct - the receiving account "C" can only receive $1000 a month from a CREDIT CARD transfer.

There is a simple way for account C to receive the $2000 - while not a huge secret, I wont list here, but you can PM for details.

Indeed C can receive more than $2,000, if it comes via a noncard transaction, say from A or B who don't have an attached checking account.

Neglected to mention that C is a business.

Amazon Buyer Account and Payments Account "On Hold"?
 
Today when I tried to log in to my Amazon account, I kept on getting the message that my username and password were incorrect. Eventually, I called in and learned that my Amazon account was "on hold" for unspecified reasons. The rep I spoke with said that there was no one I could talk to directly about this issue, but that she would submit a form, and that I would hear something by phone or email within 24 hours.

The last Amazon payments account payment that I made was back in early December. FWIW, I have not been making payments to myself, and have been using it to pay my rent.

I've heard of Amazon payments accounts being closed (with the Amazon.com account staying open), but I haven't heard of both accounts being closed or accounts being placed "on hold." Anyone else counter this?

weird and a bit scary. cant believe they shut both AP and amazon.com accounts down. did you have multiple AP accounts?

A transfers 1K (credit card funding) to B. B transfers 2K (1K + 1K credit card) to C. Same benefit if B withdraws the first 1K.

Nope! Just the one account. I can't even access my Kindle library at the moment. After doing some research, it's sounding like what might have triggered the lock is my recent purchase of amazon gift cards using different credit cards--all in my name--(to take advantage of the $25 off $75 Amex offer). It also sounds like it will eventually be unlocked (from what I've read online). They also placed a hold on any account at any address to which I ever sent merchandise, including accounts belonging to my parents and sister. I have not made payments to these other accounts either. Will update when this is resolved.

i.e
1: Buy AGC up to 2k, send to self via email
2: Liquidate AGC to Amazon Account
3: Liquidate AGC to Amazon Payment
4: Withdraw Amazon Payment to Bank Account.
5: Pay CC Bills?

Don't think you can do 3 so that won't work.
