Please help with resolving invalid credit issue
 

My stealth Amazon account was doing really well for more than a year and half.
Today my account got locked due to INVALID credit card.

I have been using giftcard mall credit card with stealth name on card, and it has been working great since the beginning of creating the account.

Has amazon change the restrictions on using certain type of stealth gift cards?

Has Anyone have this issue resolve recently? If so, would you please share tips on registering a new stealth credit card?

Also, on the enter a new credit card section, it says "please have a copy of your latest credit card statement handy while entering the information below." So how would you resolve this issue if necessary?

I do not know how to use multiple Amazon account in one computer, and it was hard for me to build this new account under LLC were I had no selling limit. And I would like to resolve this issue if possible because creating a new account will be very stressful, with all the selling limits and new amazon category restrictions.

Thank You in advance.

- Have your giftcard expired?
- Can you log-in to your Amazon account?

Don't have any problem with Vanilla card as of today yet

Hey Tony, how are you?

My giftcardmall credit card does not expire until 08/18. I am a bit worried that the expiration is very long, since I got it back in 2013 or early 2014 I believe.

Also, I have verified that the card is still active with the balance of $100.

How does the vanilla card work? Do they allow to put the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name on the card with address, because I was able to put ⊗⊗⊗⊗ stealth name with the address with gift card mall.

Can you log-in to your Amazon account?

Re: Please help with resolving invalid credit issue
 

Yes I can log into the account but I have limited access.

I can only view page where I need to update my card.

Also, my FBA inventory is still being sold and shipped cause I am still getting the notification emails.

Just re enter the same card details, if that fails use another gift card and cash in your $100 at the supermarket.

I tried to re-enter the card and it does not work.
I did a little research that you can still get caught with certain gift cards.Tony mentioned vanilla gift cards without any problem. By chance Anyone had problems using the card? Or can anyone else provide the name of cards that they've used, and never had problems with?

Re: Please help with resolving invalid credit issue
 

I never have any problem with the giftcard (Vanilla, Walmart, Target, American Express.....)

Thank you for the reply. I will look into those options.

Are you talking about buying gift card from Safeway market? Apologize for misunderstanding, I don't think I have safeway in my area but I can find vons.

Re: Please help with resolving invalid credit issue
 

Yes, they sell them at Vons also. Just go and get one.
