Has anyone provided the same SSN to more than one account?

If so, are the accounts still 'good' and not suspended/locked or anything?

PM'd - Over here this is all playing out completely as a Monty Python skit.

Reading these pages yesterday for a few minutes after being late to the game and seeing everyone go from an all out panic to "everything's going to be ok"-mode was pretty hilarious. I was halfway to my panic room before I read peoples reports about it just being a glitch and everyones accounts being restored.

i'm in my panic room with leelee sobieski right now

Can we have a "What's in your Panic Room" topic please?

I have 20 non-loaded VRs that I asked an Office Depot clerk if I could have, a plastic bag full of opened silver and gold gift card wrappers, MVD wrappers and a yoga mat for serenity now.

You better watch she doesn't bust out.

I would love to visit your panic room when you leave:D

Partially true:

a) Fang is 100% up to no good at AP and a new closed account over here is the trout in the milk

b) the closed account (first for 2013) came with Fang's lovely New Year's Card and the promise he would close more (same promise he made 6 months ago)

c) Fang's IT department is after the IT crown jointly held by Priority Club and Delta

d) the race for the IT crown may be slowing Fang down and may explain various irregularities and why 30 and 90 day return of suspended account monies is taking far longer than it should

e) as for me, I'm now KIVA financing Fang's third world coding shop:D

And now for something completely different:

I go into Wally World last night to buy paper goods and my debit card won't work when swiped so the clerk grabs a plastic bag.

Then he puts my card in it and swipes the card through the plastic bag.

The card works. Abolutely amazing! Keep this in mind if your swiped card does not work next time.

I'm a big Leelee Sobieski fan. Glad to know I'm not the only one who knows who she is!

Making Payments to a Business
 

Can I use my Business Credit Card to make payments to a Business Bank Account using Amazon Payments ?

This is quite legal -- considering I am using my Credit Card to support Cash Flow problems in my business, since my AR has piled up and they are taking their own sweet time to make payments, I have to pay my self a salary.

Wonder what the pros and cons are for this type of operation?

I wouldn't call this 'new' (well maybe for you:p); it happens all the time.
It's hard to say if it's the magnetic strip or the merchants machine.

I get this at least a few times a month.

Wouldn't try this. (imho).

This appears to be a cash advance even if you tried to explain it away.

the jungle does not allow you to register for a personal account with a business EIN instead of your SSN in my experience, which may pose a constraint if you've already created a personal account with your SSN. i don't have any experience with their business accounts, but they charge fees to receive payments as a "merchant".

it may be a lot easier and faster (though 3% upfront is common) to just do a 0% BT from your business credit card if it's from a different issuer...PM me for details if interested and relevant to your situation.

also, transferring enough through the jungle to pay your own salary might push you over the IRS limits for amazon reporting your transactions to the IRS if you *also* plan to make lots of smaller transactions in hopes of staying under the radar, as some here do. from amazon's perspective 2 accounts (assuming you already have one) x 1K/month x 12 months is > $20K, so you'd need to avoid hitting the 200 transaction limit...an easy thing to be mindful of (amazon cuts you off at 190 on each account), but still something to keep in mind with larger spending amounts.

the more paranoid among us occasionally worry that if jungle cardinals catch wind that the 200-transaction limit could become important at the level of the person whose SSN is tied to credit cards and/or bank accounts, even if they don't approach the same limit at the level of SSNs tied to jungle accounts. authorized users & such can further muddy the waters. the jungle currently limits you to 190 transactions per account, and yet 150 transactions to a personal bank account + 150 transactions to a business checking account is still more than 200. the importance you ascribe to this scenario primarily depends on your level of paranoia.

the AP terms refer to the $20K threshold in terms of net payments received (not sent), but 200 may not be a very large limit for transactions if withdrawals are later counted as separate transactions, for example, or if receiving a payment and withdrawing the same amount are counted as separate transactions in the future. so again, your level of paranoia may further complicate your best guesses on how the rules of the jungle may change in the future.

in any case, it's best to use discretion, NEVER CALL, and obviously never skirt around IRS rules in letter or spirit because you never know how much smarter the cardinals in the jungle might become.

I called AP last night and the agent at the other end confirmed that the account was locked because they needed to verify certain information. After I informed him that all the data is accurate but the account is still locked, he indicated that he can't do anything and that the review department has to manually verify the information. He sent a note to them and told me to expect an email within 24 hours. I just got an email from AP confirming that all the information is accurate and verified! yay! I am going to try withdrawing the balance tonight...

Just curious... have you actually been participating in this deal in the last year? I don't have time to go over all your nonsensical posts, but am under the impression you were in the first wave of members that got locked out of this deal from being too greedy early on.
