1) As a newbie, should I first send a $1 (or whatever the min amount) and see if it works?
2) So I do A -> B -> Bank for a period of time
3) Once (2) above is done for a while, say 3 months, Can I then do
B -> A -> Bank
Will it be wise?

Sure, send $1 test.

As it has been said many times on this thread, what you are proposing IS possible. Best to make sure A and B have diff CCs and diff banks.

As to whether it's wise...ultimately, no one knows why AP shuts down accts.

Can I use my existing Amazon.com logins or should I create a different account for Amazon payments?

Also should I give them my SSN?

Ugh it's taking forever. My friend initiated payment on the 12th and still showing pending. Next time going to use DC or CC instead of bank info to send payment.

You have to give AP your SSN...
They SP on EQ.

At least they did to me.

What is SP and EQ?

Amazon Payments
 

my guess is Soft Pull on Equifax

This.

Possibly to verify me. I was surprised.

I have a big family, so I'm gearing up to extend my A>B>C>A into A>B>C>D>E>F>A. Anyone know of any reasons not to do this?

3 AP accounts per household seems to be the number.
So you might be limited.

Also, if you're trying to use kids. Try and not use young kids as they'll ask for ID etc.

Is there even a way to get around the Driver's license requirement for minors?

Yes, but how do they define a household. My 6 people are spread out over 5 houses and 2 states.

I think same address would qualify as same household.. beyond that, enjoy..

you should be fine, more than fine, you will be perfect.

I wish I had such a large family.

It has its drawbacks. Try having two mother-in-laws.
