Amazon gift cards
 

I used the Amazon Gift Card for a long time and my account was closed
Two other accounts have been created with a different name, address, and phone number
I worked 2 weeks without problems then my account was closed and I closed another yesterday
How to use an Amazon gift card without any closing ??

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

There is no easy solution to using GCs on a buyer account

You first have to build up a buyer account using a legit debit/credit card for buys

After a month or so you can start introducing GCs while still doing purchases with cards

Keep increasing GC usage as you lower your card purchases over the next 1-3 months

This works as I've done it myself with many stores, but you must know the source of the GCs. If you're buying some sketchy GCs your shops will go down regardless if you have history or not, just much sooner without history.

yes on new account if try to use Gift card . Amazon shut down account without any warning . Amazon become too strict .

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

Build up a bit of purchase history with a vcc perhaps before moving to gift cards. You won't last long by only using gift cards.

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

You must be buying from sketchy gift card sources.

I frequently will open an Amazon buyer account with just an email address and a name. Then apply gift cards purchased from another Amazon account. Make purchases. Go on with life. Never get complaints from Amazon.

What amounts are you purchasing?

I was recently just banned for using Gift cards to make thousands of dollars of purchases per day. It isn't as simple as your stating.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master ghost :thumb:

Amazon does flag buyer accounts for hyper-use of gift cards. Did you solve this issue?

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

No, the issue wasn't solved as the account was just banned last night. I was purchasing gift cards for a high discount and applying them to my personal account with my debit card attached. As far as I can tell, my account was flagged due to two reasons:

1)The amount of gift cards applied to my account

2)The amount of purchases made in a short period of time

Before anyone responds with obvious "well don't use gift cards" or "don't make high purchases" comments, please understand that the reason I did this was because the profit margin was good. If I have to throttle the amount of GC's I apply to my account, or limit the amount I purchase with giftcards then I make less profit. I have a set amount that I want to apply to my account every day and a set amount that I want to sell every day to make it worth the time investment.

At this point it seems like my only options seem to be creating a few Amazon accounts and aging them slowly before applying GC's OR mass creating amazon accounts and blowing it out before they are banned. The obvious drawback with this would of course be the amount of physical addresses needed to have the items delivered.

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but if anyone has experience with this, please pm me. I'm looking for solid methods of making good margins online.

The Source Of Your Gift Cards Could Also Be An Issue
For Example Carded Gift Cards

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

I'll say this again :

Account A: I've bought a lot of gift cards ($1MM+) from Amazon.com using my own credit card in $1-$2k increments.

Account B: I apply the $2k gift cards. I buy items with it. Generally under $50.

I've done this with many 'A' and 'B' accounts.

There is never any issue with the gift card because I bought them legally.

Reasons you MAY be running into issues :
A) Source of your gift cards. Or source of payment of your gift cards.
B) Purchase price of item you are buying.
C) Type of products you are buying. Like high risk items : Digital (other gift cards) or electronics, etc.
D) Your IP is not located in the US.
E) Your ship to address is not in the US.
F) Amazon hates you and doesn't want your money.
G) Something else.

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

Try using the full 2k on a new account and it will close.

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

i created many accounts and all of them get closed :D

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

Hi

Just joined the forums recently and have been reading up on here quite a bit
I noticed you seemed to be very experienced, I would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom pal

So do you think if i was to make 10/15 us&uk buyer accounts everyday and each account made an order upon creation (different items across all accounts) but all bought with physical GC (virtual box same os everytime, google chrome + dynamic 3g hotspot) and no vcc attached - that they amz would track my activity and eventually start closing my accounts after the first order ?

Apologies if I sound clueless, still new to all of this

Cheers in advance

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

She just told you start out with real debit/credit card and slowly ease into GC

Re: Amazon gift cards
 

And you never make an credit or debit card orders ?

VCC attached atleast ?
