FlyerTalk Forums - Amazon Payments

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.

Thank you for granting me permission to do as I please. I was simply letting the poster know that he can in fact use a CC with someone else's name. Is it ripe for flagging? Perhaps. Can it be done? Yes.

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!

Thanks for the heads up. I was doing (or playing with the fire) for the last few years without any hiccups. I guess now my time is up. At least they haven't close our accounts yet.

I did. It turned out the problem was I was trying to send payment B>A to the email that A already used for A>B. Bad idea, glad it didn't work.

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.

I'm not sure what triggers this but it's not that unusual. Sometimes AP manually or through some system rule removes payment options. Never tried to re-add them so can't advise there.

Check to ensure that the name you entered for the credit card record exactly matches the name on your AP account. I had my middle initial on one credit card but not on my AP account so it wasn't available. Editing the card info resolves the problem.

account suspended

So I've been sending $1k from A>B>C>D>A for months and now account B has been suspended. I got the following message when I tried to send funds:

"This functionality is disabled on your account as your account is in a suspended state. Click here to find out more about these limitations."

Is there any remedy for this? Should I call or just leave the account alone for awhile and try again in a couple of months? Thanks.

if all the other accounts are still functioning, you may be better off leaving acct B alone; if you call, you run the risk of all your accounts getting shutdown if they are tied to each other. That's my unsolicited advice. It's your judgment call.

Amex Gold Personal or Business Charge cards

Has anyone had any problems with using an Amex Gold Personal or Business charge card (not a credit card) to load with Amz?
I seem to recall awhile back some Amex Gold card holders were shut down or suspended for FR by Amex for loading onto Amz payments. Not sure if this is still a problem with Amex Gold and Amazon pay?
Anyone tried with these cards lately as I don't see anything on the wiki.

I tried to sign up for Amazon Payments and I received an email from Amazon stating that they are requiring me to fax in a government issued photo ID (e.g. drivers license) in order to properly verify my account. Is this a scam or legitimate email? Anyone else have problems verifying their account and what did they do to lift the suspension?

Thanks

My wife is an AU for my CC.
Is it ok for her to use her acct to get 1k per month to me. Then I pay it off since it is my CC? Will this get flagged?

It depends on the cards you're using. make sure the numbers on the primary and AU cards are different because if they are the same, you may be flagging yourself.

You're essentially asking people to not send money to their own accounts, and sell you reloadits which they can easily use themselves...you dont provide much of a benefit ;).

Although I'm not sure how you would get points on your cc by selling reload its

the goal would be:

user A buys ReloadIT with CC in store. Gets CC miles/points.
user B buys ReloadIT from userA with AP & CC. Gets CC miles/points.
user B unloads the ReloadIT for cash.

benefits:
* both users get miles/points
* user B could have access to reloadits that he otherwise could not
* user A gets an easy way/fee free to unload the reloadit

does that make sense?

What happens when you hit $1000? That is the AP limit. Seems pretty complicated for 2 Reloadits a month.

Not to mention the risk that either party turns out to be a scammer.
