GF getting this error:


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
Does she just need to wait? Contact them? She said she gave a crapton of info like SSN, and has a CC added already as its her only Jungle she goes to. It's a bit frustrating trying to work this out with her right before the month end because she's on vacation right now and so communication is not that easy.

Might just have to send in her DL.

I've been trying to get my gf to sign up for this. I'll see if I can get some others to sign up.

Sometimes I do my AP at the end of the month so if I have some cash stuck in a card I can get rid of it, and some months I'll just do it in the beginning of the month, like BB :)

I actually gave some of the accounts a month off. Just so the bezos tribe doesn't kill me lol.

No way?! I couldn't do this! :) I'd be losing out on so many points!

I did too. Something about January makes me nervous. Wanted to see if any new regs went into effect that would burn folks doing what I was doing all year in 2013.

Pay with Amazon Payments Merchant Button
 
On a different topic:

I encountered a "Pay with Amazon Payments" button at the checkout screen for a national web merchant for the first time the other day.

Checked out with it, using a CC.

There was no impact on my AP limits, though the purchase is shown in Account Activity.

As far as I can make out, there is neither advantage nor disadvantage in using this service.

Are there implications I am missing?

Better to lose out on a few thousand now than tens or hundreds of thousands later.

That's one way to look at it. I assume I'll get shutdown at some point so I'd rather get those tens of thousands now...

To quote MaineCoon, "Yup."

So I guess if your current AP accounts are banned/suspended, you can just create new AP accounts with new email addresses with the same SSN and you are back in business?
