Were you maxing out the 1000 every month on all 10 accounts? How many months were you able to last before the shutdown? Did any of the accounts share the same CC or bank accounts?

I know this is sort of mentioned earlier, but it wasn't clarified. So does sending and receiving the payment both count as "transactions"?

Sending - $250 * 4 = $1000 = 4 Transactions
Receiving - $250 * 4 = $1000 = 4 Transactions

Does that mean 8 transactions for the SSN or 4 transactions (sending)?

Thanks!

** Also, failed transactions do not count towards the "transaction" limit right? Just to double check

Just checked my 4 accounts and all is good SO FAR.

We all have the same last name. I always unload AMEX GC on Amazon. It's always a complete circle.

I should expect an email soon...

I still haven't done this months...

Amazon Payments $1 hold trick no longer working?
 

Is the $1 hold trick no longer working at AP? I couldn't get it to work today.

have no idea what an AP hold trick is

Don't usually use new amex cards with AP so I can't help you

It works... I do it all the time.

Exclusively AMEX GCs here. With "boost" I get 12% back on Travelocity and I feel like I put less risk on my card by not using it directly in Amazon payments...

Withdrawing Funds Question
 

This has probably been asked before, but......

Can funds be withdrawn by an authorized user to the bank account of someone else....a relative, that is? Or do the names have to match?

I know the bank won't care, but Amazon might. As far as the bank is concerned, if you want to give someone else money, fine by them. It's only withdrawals where the names need to match.

I have my personal bank account (in my name only) tied to four different AP accounts. YMMV

Just open a Bluebird or Serve acct, that you manage, in that person's name.

I have read the entire thread and some 4k posts. Took some time. I would appreciate comments on the following:

post #3894, March 31, healthnut, and the suggestion that the AP account be independent of the Amazon account. My earlier reading suggested that it was a good thing to have the accounts linked; especially if credit cards entered in AP were not showing up.

Post #3968, sharka, suggests that A>B is somehow problematic. I don't see that from the rest of the thread.

I saw a reference to ghostery during a discussion of IP addresses but that product does not seem particularly helpful. There are some VPN services out there. Anyone use Hotspot Shield VPN?

Current plan based on what I have read is: A > B..that is it. $800-$900 monthly. Separate bank accounts. Two or three different transactions. Product/services. Comments?

Nope have fun
