GC for amazon

[goodedc]

I used vanillavisa cards for my Amazon Ghost account, it worked fine in the last few weeks.

Till I receive a letter from amazon today:

Hello from Amazon.com,

Your most recent disbursement of USD 310.71 has been delayed. We took this action because the credit card information registered to your seller account is invalid. Note that this information may be invalid because the card has expired or the billing address that is associated to it may have changed.

Your credit card helps to authenticate you for payment of your sales proceeds into your bank account. Your credit card may also be used to charge you for any outstanding Amazon fees.

After you have updated your seller account with a valid credit (or debit) card associated with one of the major credit card companies (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or Diner's Club), you can manually request a disbursement of your funds to your bank account, or they will be disbursed in the next scheduled disbursement cycle.



BTW, the GC's billing name is not same as the one I use for banking account info.

Bummer I just opened an Amazon account using a Vanilla Visa a few weeks ago. It is under the name of a relative, kind of, partial name...& his CC is on it too but I was gonna remove it soon. We used it to buy his book and mine I used my Vanilla Visa.

ORdered from it and just received a really scratched CD, won't even play. wanted to ask for a refund but I wonder if the Vanilla card will accept it.

In some cases it was - but it worked back then. A few weeks ago, I got the same email as the OP. I tried re-adding the same card and it didn't work.

I then tried a fresh Vanilla Visa on a new stealth account and the message said something like my card could not be verified.

Now I just use mostly gift cards from my local bank. The VCC's still work, but can be a problem down the road. Sometimes, right when Amazon is ready to disburse funds, they will attempt to charge your card to make sure it is still active. And most of the VCC's are only active for 24 hours or so.
