Redeeming Gift Cards on Personal Aged Acc: Risky?
 

So I have a personal Amazon account aged a few years, and made a few purchases, not too many because I'm not from the US. The idea is to redeem gift cards and with that balance buy gift cards of other stores (BestBuy, Nike, etc.). I have a private method to make profits over this. What are the chances my (buyer, personal) account will get limited? As far as I understood by reading this forum it has to do with the source of those gift cards, if they come from dodgy sources, etc. All I can say is that most of them work without much issues and they will come with a cash receipt. I have read around that doing some legit purchases here and there can help. Do you guys think this is viable or not anymore? I'm hearing more and more about accounts getting locked, and people losing money. I have thought of buying aged accounts with transaction history to use for this purpose.

Thanks in advance for the insights.

Legit sourced GCs used on an account that is your legit account that has legit card purchases before the GCs were used, should be fine

If you're doing a lot of GC volume and don't use your card on file any longer then you might run into issues eventually. A normal buyer shouldn't be using tons of GCs

You won't be able to buy gift cards with the Amazon balance, it is against their ToS. If it is a new Amazon account that you have it will most likely get suspended straightaway, if it is an account with history you should get a warning first.
