Credit Card - Amazon

[GhostDog]

Hello,

I'm interested in adding a credit card to a Amazon Stealth account and was wondering what is your best suggestion.

I'm trying to decide between a gift card and a VCC. From my searches, it appears from several posts on the forums that VCC cards are not always successful. Another issue is the limited amount of funds they provide which seems like it may not be enough to pass Amazon's random verification charges / fees.

Gift cards also carry a limited amount of funds. Do you guys just constantly purchase new ones in order to cover the merchant fees ($40 for Pro account or the Individual account $0.99 per sale fee)?

Amazon is different in that it takes fees from your sales so not really necessary to keep popping in credit cards BUT make sure your cc is valid at all times with a balance of $20 to be safe.

Have you looked into Vanilla Visa gift card?

Thank you very much for your reply.

In the book, it mentioned that some users were having issues with the Vanilla Visa gift card (Errors (2)). Is this no longer the case?

Lot of posts recently have been showing good use with it - make sure you keep an ACTIVE balance on the card ($20+ is my own safe suggestion)
