Looking to keep the risk as low as possible.

Seems a bit extreme.
But why ask what's been gone over a million times?

We don't know how Bezos' tribe operates. We just know that they kill and don't take names. :cool:

"same bank accounts"?

It says "different bank accounts".

If I've completed my $1k in credit card sending per month can I still send cash? I need to use AP to fund another account as direct deposit.

Si. Dunno about it counting as a direct deposit, but accounts can send more than $1k so long as the over $1k is not coming from a card.:cool:

So I am planning to send money from my account to a cousin who will then send money to my wife's account. Has anyone got shutdown because of this?

But your cousin will have his own credit card and will be the one reaping the benefits, not you, right? Where are you creating more spend for yourself/wife over $1000?


And Roll Tide.

When I send money through AP to my cousin, I will earn the points. When he sends them to my wife, he will earn the points. Not looking to spend more than 1K.

It shouldn't be a problem as I assume it would involve different CC's and bank accounts. Even if your account get's limited, you can always explain them or request to lift the limitation for one time.

What do you mean by limited?

What is Limited Account Access?
Amazon Payments will limit the functionality of your Amazon Payments account unless you provide the required information by the required dates. You will not be able to purchase with your stored value balance, nor receive any more funds into your stored value balance. You will receive an e-mail every time you fail to receive a payment due to your limited account access.

yes this is entirely safe.
I have not heard of anyone getting shut-down for this.

But nobody really knows why anyone does get shutdown....

I have a couple of Amex GCs to liquidate and I tried the trick to put in the incorrect expiration the first time then edit, but still received the $1 holds on the cards.

Were they variable value cards? 'Cuz IME they work differently than fixed value cards.

I always send $1.0x less than available.
Just to play it safe w/Amazon.

Yes, I do expiration trick too.

Have about 20 cards now each is worth $1.0x :D
