No, if you are on the same network, you are broadcasting the same IP. Only way is to VPN, get on a diff network, work vs home, a starbucks or mcds if you want

Another option is to log in via your cell phone (assuming you're not using your home's wifi).

Thanks to you both.

Hi- Apologies in advance if these questions have already been answered. Here's my situation: I created an AP account for myself and my wife and linked the same checking account for each one. I also have used the same IP address for all of this activity.

Realizing that I don't want to have the same checking account linked for both AP accounts, I deleted the liked account on my wife's AP account.

We don't have the same last name but do share a mailing/billing address.

My question is: Does Amazon log IP addresses?

For instance, if I link a separate checking account to my wife's AP account, and begin A) sending money from my account to her account using my home IP and B) withdrawing money from her AP account to checking using my work IP .... will Amazon have already logged my home IP on the wife's account and consider this reason for flagging?

Hope this makes sense! Just starting out and trying to set up the most optimal system.

Many people prefer to log into different accounts from different IP addresses. Immediately preceding your question is a discussion of this.

Tried opening a new AP account for my uncle. Got this response from AP:

"We appreciate your use of Amazon Payments. Unfortunately, we have been unable to confirm your account information. This may be because you failed to respond to our past requests for more information or we could not confirm identity information provided by you."

I don't get it, he doesn't has an AP account. He doesn't have a bank account either. Maybe that's why they can't confirm his information? He only has a SS card (alien resident), and that's it. Does anyone knows what service AP uses for identity verification? If it is something like a credit agency, I'm out of luck. My uncle is old school. Maybe if I open a bank account in his name? Probably won't be able to do that either, as I don't like any of my local banks. And will open it online, if I do.

Interestingly enough, Amex Serve is a product especially for people like your uncle. All he needs is his Social Security and you can use their Routing # as the "bank" for Amazon's purposes.

That being said, I think you also need to submit some driver's license or some ID for Amazon as well.

if your uncle will link Serve with AP, just make sure not to use the Centurion Bank showing in your Serve account on AP to pull money that he received on amazon. Centurion Bank routing and account number is strictly for DD purposes, which I learned the hard way. I'm just glad I didn't pay dearly for that mistake.

Correct, AP --> Serve only. If you need to get money out of Serve, they have a "Withdraw" feature (assuming he had a real bank account) but you're best off just using their online bill pay to pay off credit cards.

Same bank account, what now?
 

I was setting up the in-laws and completely blanked, adding one of the same bank accounts to their AP accounts (the other is serve).

One of my in-laws was able to send a payment just fine, but now the other's just keeps coming back as failed. I realized my error too late and removed the duplicate account. This was in the middle of an A-B-C-D-E-A chain.

Has anyone done this before? I'm hesitant to try the failed account again for a few months, but am not sure what good it'll do. Neither account has received an account closure message.

If I'm understanding this right, it's incorrect. You can push money from AP to Serve using the Centurion info. What you cannot do is pull money into AP from Serve.

I was able to open a Serve account for him. Still haven't got the card, but I got the Welcome to Serve email after sending more documents. But AP didn't ask any documentation, they just asked for the Name, Address, SS, etc, TWICE. I was surprised I had to fill the form again after login in. And then, hours later, came the email saying they couldn't verify my uncle. Is Amazon being more strict recently to open new accounts? I didn't have any issues back in the day.

Perhaps so. In July, for AP setup, we had to fax (not even email) a copy of a driver's license to verify the account. The first few times it didn't fax good enough, so I had to enlarge the photocopy then fax again.

A friend of mine just opened (August) AP and Amazon requested info that I don't recall being asked for.

Need clarification on AP
 

Sorry if this has been answered in the 300+ pages of posts.

Here's my situation: My wife and I both have new Club Carlson Visa cards (each their own account, not authorized user). We have a trip to Europe already planned for next May and I'm trying to spend enough on these cards to get free hotel stays in 2 of our destinations. Hitting the minimum spend for sign-up bonuses organically isn't a problem, it's the extra we'll need to earn multi-night stays. I also have a Delta AMEX card that I need to spend 3K on by the end of the year to hit the 25K bonus. This trip to Europe just became on my radar in July, otherwise I could have easily hit the spend on the Delta AMEX organically as well.

Long story short, there are 3 or so months this year where I'll need to both send money from my account to my wife's account, and vice versa. The rest of the time, it can be one-directional.

A (my account) has its own bank account, SSN, and Credit Card #, but same physical address
B (my wife's account) has its own bank account, SSN, and Credit Card #, but same physical address

I have not yet used either AP account to send money (so pretty much virgin AP accounts).

Would sending money from A->B (using my CC#) and then later in the month doing B->A (using her CC#) trigger any flags? From my interpretation of what I've read, it's doing A<->B using the same CC that flags the account. The bank accounts are externally linked so that I can then transfer any monies to close the loop.

I plan to do smaller transactions throughout the month and with random amounts and on different browsers/IP addresses to send the transactions.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! Again, sorry if this has been answered - it's all so confusing!
