I did see many posts on the book of faces about 4 days weekends....

Well after faxing in the same CC statement a second time, they emailed saying my account was now unfrozen and good to go, but I would have to re-do the payment that had been pending. Shortly after I read the email, though, the payment went through on its own.

However that AP account and access to the Amazon (shopping) account are still not accessible. A couple of password reset attempts and two emails to them, and still no dice almost 24 hours later. It's strange, the password reset shows as successful, but when attempting to login immediately after, I continue getting a "problem with the email/password combination you entered" error message. Incognito mode, cleared cookies, all that good stuff. Hopefully will be able to get back in by tomorrow...

ETA: It took a bit over 24 hours but account access is finally back. All's well that ends well...

glad to hear it was resolved

I did not notice this thread before :/

I am not married, and my friends think MS is crazy, so I cannot use AP to send money to anyone. If I have AP accounts with my name, but different checking accounts, would that work? Has anyone tried this before?

Have you tried reading the wiki that is at the top of every page in this thread?

AP is rolling the dice. There are no firm rules since the Bezos headhunters have a real sense of humor. Would not rely on farming in the Amazon extensively as we have all got to save the rainforest to stop global warming. Why not cultivate beans locally. And not just one variety as the other is the gift that keeps on giving.:p

Need to send ADK's posts over to the guy wanting shortcuts to acronyms! Watch the circuits fry...

It seems like that's an activity that could get your account shut down. But think of it this way - if it works for a couple of months, that's a few thousand (or more) points that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It's not like AP is doing you any good now, so why not try to take advantage?

if you open two AP accounts with your SS#, it's been reported several places that amazon will close both accounts.

this used to be in the wiki, but someone keeps deleting it.

Does AP work with AMEX?
 

Does anyone have recent experience with AP spend counting towards meeting the minimum spend requirement for the MR sign-up bonus on AMEX? My next statment will cut after the 3 month minimum spend period ends, and if AP spending is not counted I will miss out on my sign up bonus. I am hoping to hear from some FT'ers who have had success earning the signup bonus after spending that included AP.

Thanks!

Yes, it does. Used Amex on AP last month to meet the minimum spend on new Gold card to get the MR points and bonus. Got it without any issues.

Cheers!

AP business Accts.
 

I've read on this thread of many instances where accounts were closed where the speculation was because of multiple accounts with same info...CC # SSN, Bank acct.# etc. I have account for my wife and one for me with separate info. but would for obvious reasons like to add a third. I noticed the business acct. link in AP. My wife has business income (and lots of Business rewards cards, of course) but no EIN. Was thinking of using a separate CC and Bank acct. but same SSN as her personal acct. to open a business AP account. Would hate to have both of her accts closed. I realize there is nothing definite when it comes to AP but does anyone have any experience with this?

Dipping my toes in MS with AP. I sent a small transaction to my SO the other day, and am waiting for Amazon to deposit the funds.

I funded the transaction w/ a citi card, and followed everything mentioned in the wiki. So far, so good.

Welcome to FT!

Did the same but family member didn't pick up. Cancelled but learned. :)

Unless there is a crack down of new accounts I could provide a huge list of FT members that have multiple accounts using the same SS#. I have multiple accounts with the same on each and have been doing this for 3+ years.

I don't think there is anything that is a killer here. I think you can go overboard with the number of accounts though and get red flagged.
