Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

real visa and mastercard working fine for me. good luck guys. tough days on amazon. been cracking on my old vccs too.

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Ok, have now changed the address on the bank account to the 'stealth' address, just refreshed the amazon screen and still getting the same message? Any ideas?

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

How long ago did you change the address? [emoji849]

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

about half hour, the bank said it would update immediately, and ive checked the online banking and it has updated the details

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

I would still wait more than 30 mins .. It might not have fully changed over.

Like with some savings accounts you apply for online give you the details straight away but actually take 24+ hours to set up.

What type of bank are you adding? Are you sure you have enough funds in them to authorise the card?

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Its a natwest debit card, there are no funds in the account as yet as its a brand new account

Well you need at least a £1 in the account for the card to be authorised.
Most places do this. Its to check the card etc exist.

No money in the card means amazon(or whoever) cannot check this and it will keep failing.

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Ah, ok ill transfer some money over into it, thanks for the info :)

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

It will be pre-authorized on your account but will time out in about 5 days and the funds returned to you.

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

ok cool, have just sent £2.00 over to it to clear the authorisation

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Would the phone number make a difference?

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

No they only do a name and address check against the card.

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

ok, still not accepting it, will leave if for an hour or so. Will it automatically refresh or do i need to refresh it

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Does the name on your natwest card MATCH the name on the amazon account?

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

the only thing different is my middle initial doesnt show on the amazon account

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Thats not it.
I would wait a while and if it still doesnt work then contact amazon by chat or phone?

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

ok will do, just read that they can request up to £4.00 for verification so added more funds just in case, fingers crossed now :)

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Just make sure you understand the risks your taking by changing your address with the bank

Worth reading through all of this thread

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Personally i think its playing with fire.. Just saying [emoji849]

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

Yes it is... So much better way to go about it

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

im really confused now, this was a new account that i opened for the stealth account

Re: Bank Address Different to Amazon Address
 

its a debit card and not a VCC
