I'm thinking of a situation where the payee also has an AP and since they received a certain amount, do they have option to keep it if they want to? Although we can initiate a refund, I wonder if amazon will act like paypal in behalf of the sender to get back money. I dread to contact AP for similar issues that's why I'm extra careful in sending $.

OK, I by mistake sent [email protected] instead of [email protected] anyways after I clicked for a refund several hours later, the $500 refund was back into the Vanilla Visa Gift card account and I was able to send to the proper email.

BTW, regarding BB cannot give details.

Also, be aware that the grocery GC>MO biz is dying. Seen 2 bank cards refuse GC purchases at stores in the last week. This old auditor suspects the FT wiki has helped create a transaction kill list based on vendor and purchase amount range. Those making it easier for novice MS folk are making it easier for audit folk, too.

I tried to get one of the mods to see this, but it was to no avail.

The AP transaction was what put me over the minimum spend. My statement comes out on the 11th and the balance is paid off, so I'll let you know if the change in the way they post AP caused any issues with my miles posting.

Citi is posting Amazon Payments as purchases. I received my statement yesterday and the AP posting went through as a purchase.

A lot of us have moved elsewhere for MS discussions because of this. TDD, it's time to move on.

I keep getting the following error on two out of the four accounts that I manage.

The target account cannot receive money.

Any idea what's going on? I have never tried sending money to these two accounts, so I don't know if this is a new development. Available limits under both of these account shows $1K remaining for both receiving and sending.

Also keep getting the same message "The target account cannot receive money". Anyone knows what it means ?

Possibly the receiver has already exceeded the amount he/she is allowed to receive that month.

Log in to those accounts - AP may be asking for more proof of identity.:cool:

Do you have a real CC tied to the account?

I use my CC for AP on my wife's account (and another family member, different address) but now I (she, or someone else) can't send the money using my CC. Is this something new or I am the lucky one who got chosen for this treatment?

you used your CC with your name on your wife's AP account? if yes, I think you flagged yourself because you can only use CCs in your name to send to someone while logged in to your account but not someone else's; although you can also load unregistered AGCs in it but if you log in to another's account and use your CC, the system may have caught that and that's why you're having issues now. I know of others who used the same bank account on several AP accounts were also shutdown quickly.

You can call to check if you can fix the issue. Good luck!

having a weird problem -
i have added a new CC to my account, but when i go to pay, its not listed in my available credit cards. I have since checked my normal amazon account, and its listed there. I have deleted every other CC and when i go to send money, it says no cards added. I can buy anything i want from amazon with it, but it wont let me send money. any ideas? first time ive seen this.

Bolded part is not true. I have done this several times, including just last night. I used a CC with my wifes name on it twice with my 2 accounts that have my name on it. I did an A>B (withdraw funds) and then B>A (withdraw funds). Both accounts actually have the same checking account on them as well.

The pending status on the 2nd transaction did take about 2 hours to clear, but it did clear. I realize that I am playing with fire doing it the way I do, but I don't use it often and so I just take the risk. Had a 2k minimum spend that I needed to hit on a new card so I wsnted to take care of it asap.

you're free to do as you please and I can see you're well aware of it so you won't have complain later if you get shutdown.

as I said, one is flagging themselves for doing such action but to each his own.
