use autherized users credit card to register seller account
 

Just get a new credit card from citi bank, can I add an autherized credit card user (such as my mother in law) and use that card and her name to register seller account?

I want do that card and not Visa and MS gift card is just because I want make some purchases with the seller account. also, the citi card is a real credit card.

Not sure what Amazon can see from the autherized card, becasue both cards has same card#.

Thanks.

Yes - make sure zip code matches though

:ranger:

Yeah. But be careful using family members names it can get ugly.

what do you mean by " ugly", thanks.

even my account was suspended before, the new card should be fine, right?

Thanks.

I use the "add a friend" feature on my Capital One card to have a real card under a stealth name on my AZ account, works like a charm!

does the credit card company ask for ssn of the added user?
i was under the impression that they ask for that info.

Nope, they do not. But the address needs to be the same, I believe, as my own. Of course, I added the stealth name about 2-3 years ago, but I still see the "add a friend" feature in my account when I log in.

I think only amx ask for ssn, not for chase, boa and citi. also, chase business card can have difference card # for employe, that's even better.

you can even give your dog a credit card..

last time my dog used a credit card...

guess i never thought of this as an option for CC's for stealth accounts. have to look at this in the future

First time to try stealth account, that is why I am asking..

It's a well established method of getting additional card numbers shuang14.

If you can get a business account that enables you to get cards for employees then not only the dog gets one but the flock of sheep can also have one each - all unique

Post code/zip code is the cruncher though

Just to clarify....why would someone want to use a real credit card on an Amazon account?

Because AZ does TEST AUTHORIZATION CHARGES these days - randomly...

test to see if they are prepaid cards?

a test charge - randomly of $4 I believe - like when you try to withdraw, they can test your credit card on file with a $4 temp charge - if it does not go through, chances are...neither will you.

Ah I see, interesting, better so make sure you have plenty of credit on the gift card then. Still don't see why someone would use their real credit card though?

at least this does not impact already blocked accs

It can actually...leading to deletion =(

Ah yes I forgot about all of this.

Been discussed before
