The recent developments is as a result of amazon trying to clamp down on Gc resale and abuse of prime membership.
For the prime membership, Amazon discovered that a large percentage of orders shipped with prime are dropshipped, and offering two day/one day shipping is becoming expensive. They have decided to clamp down on the use of prime for dropshing and the resale of gc. So it has totally nothing to do with the source of the gc or whether its a stealth account.
Walk into a store yourself and purchase a gc with cash, open a brand new non-stealth account, apply the gc(over $100) and place a medium-high risk order, you can be rest assured that you'll be buying Jeff B. some free coffee. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed Amazon has constantly been tweaking the prime sign up process and their algorithms. On a prime account, orders marked as gifts are no longer eligible for two day/one day shipping.
It's the reality on ground. Successfully creating a stealth prime buyer account or even a seller account is no longer easy.
