How to Pay Amazon Advertising Fees??
 

I am using the Amazon PPC Advertising to get more exposure for my products that I sell on Amazon. I have accumulated several thousand dollars in fees that are now outstanding bc my vanilla visa GC only has $25. Unfortunately, Amazon cannot deduct this from my account balance, but they must charge it via the CC that is assigned to pay Amazon Advertising fees.

I'm stumped on what CC or debit card to use to pay what amounts to a few thousand dollars every 2 weeks.

I can get a debit card that is attached to the same checking account that Amazon has and attach the same address that Amazon has to the debit card. However, the names will not match as its a made up name. Will this work? Does Amazon AVS check for a matching name when switching my card I use to pay Advertising fees?

Someone please give me a solution that works!

AVS verifies ONLY the address, NOT the name on the credit card. This will be fine. For future reference, the information below in BLUE is what is verified by AVS:

Thanks. I will from now on get a debit card for each stealth checking account I open and use this to open the account and pay fees.

Hmm ( correct me if I am wrong) but you need the credit card - debit card won't work - you can get vanilla visa GC in the 100s of dollars.

Bank of America debit cards work for me. The only issue is that the addresses must match. This means that you have to change the address the bank has on file, so it will only work once or twice.

Never tried the debit card route - thanks jeffweico

You never tried and said debit card doesn't work :)

With my bank, they allow me to have a separate address for my checking account and a different address for my debit card. As its a Visa, I don't see why it shouldn't work. I will update if bad stuff happens! Thanks for the info!

In MOST cases, any debit card with a VISA or MasterCard logo will work. Some banks still issue the old-fashioned ATM debit cards and those generally WILL NOT work. I have used B of A and had no problems.
