IIRC. Someone made a separate thread in the sub-forum.

Thanks. I will do some searching b/c I am curious about this.

So I think the issue was with adding AU cards and having a different billing address. I called and the account needs to be verified.

I had a 2nd account with an AU card of mine and the same thing happened. This time with sending money out. With this account, the transaction failed so there was no transfer/charge.

I thought this would be the simplest method. Anyone have luck with using AU cards in other's accounts? What do you put as the billing address? Your own?

Understandable. I just wouldn't use AU cards anymore. Not necessary to get involved multiple parties like that and have their eyes on your account. I don't use AU cards personally for any of my accounts.

Last month I had orders from late morning and early evening pend for hours. This month, same routine, all went through within a minute.

Question....if you get shut down by AP, willl you lose access to your Amazon account to make purchases and so forth?

I use Amazon for almost all my purchases so would hate to lose access to my account.

IME, no problem. But if you don't like the risk, just have two separate accounts.

Is there a number to call for Amazon Payments? I go to contact us and have called the number / done the chat, but I speak with a representative saying they need to confirm my account. I give them the address and they say they'll get back to me in 24 hours.

I've contacted them 3 times since Monday and still no response.

don't think so..

Amazon would never lose you as a customer ))

I have 3 of my 10 family accounts shut down this morning. Had most accounts open for years. For this year, I have been always logging in from different IP address for each.

Possible triggers?

1. Did an AP to one of the closed accounts yesterday. (from one of the accounts which hasn't been shut down yet.)
2. The closed account receiving the payment yesterday pays each month to one of the other ones which have been shut down.
3. Each of the three accounts had a balance in them of between $890 to $995. (Which I have 10 days to withdraw. One just accumulated the balance yesterday when receiving the payment.)
4. Two of the accounts were my own, with the same SSN set up earlier back when we could do that. Neither of these were the one which received the payment yesterday.
5. The other account was registered under different last name than the individuals current name. (Changed name at marriage.)
6. Starting this year I have been doing AGC, prior to that it was always CC. (Though the closed acct receiving payment yesterday was from a CC.)
7. I switched my normal pattern across the 10 accounts last month but I don't think I did any A-B where there was a previous B-A.


So, not sure what did it.

Thinking if they are smart, I will probably get them all closed if they follow the trail A-B, B-C etc.

Deciding whether I should do AP on the live accounts this month (if they stay open), or if I should let them lay for a while. Not sure if the change in pattern would cause a flag or not. Thinking at this point to let them lay, since the closure occurred within a day of receiving payment.

FYI, all closure emails came in at the same time, 3:46AM.

What did the AP closure emails look like? I am curious.

exactly same as in post 4095

Can I use my Citi Thank You preferred for amazon payments?

Why can't you?

The question is can I ?... I have only done this once and it was with a different card. thanks
