PayPal it is, then.

Can we merge this with the existing AP thread mods? Thanks.

Sad news, but not surprising.

At least online purchases is a 5% cashback bonus category for Q4 and I can get that CB bonus in with my last payment.

I too had an account shut down. I've been cycling

A --> B --> C --> D --> E --> A

for about 2 years also. B, my wife with different last name, got shut down when I added her as an AU on arrival and then she added that card on AP and they rejected the payment and shut her down.

Account A, with the same CC, stayed open no issues.

I don't understand the point of this service if they get rid of the person to person payments though. No one else uses this on their website to accept payments.

Except for Kickstarter.

for a good chuckle, look at why they shut it down:


Why is Amazon WebPay being shut down?

We are not addressing a customer pain point particularly better than anyone else. We've learned a great deal about how and when customers want to send money and will look for ways to use these lessons in the future.
in other words, "we figured out that people made money off us, and we won't let that happen again."

Agree....I have been doing A>B > Bs Bank (A&B jointly own)
B>A > As Bank

Each A and B got own unique card. No issues so far. Same Addresses in all accounts. I never withdraw as soon as the money appear in Amazon account leave it for days.

Good night sweet prince.

It seems we've been saying goodbye to many old friends in the last 6 months.

Our good friend Wally may be next on the chopping block.

Prepare for the APOCALYPSE people!

:rolleyes: Life goes on.

You've clearly never participated in a KS campaign. Please proceed. ;)
