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?

How long ago did you change the address?

dawnw · #26 01-19-2016

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

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?

dawnw · #28 01-19-2016

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

Bunneh · #29 01-19-2016

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.

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

Bunneh · #31 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #32 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #33 01-19-2016

Would the phone number make a difference?

Bunneh · #34 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #35 01-19-2016

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

Bunneh · #36 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #37 01-19-2016

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

Bunneh · #38 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #39 01-19-2016

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

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

Worth reading through all of this thread

Personally i think its playing with fire.. Just saying

JamesNorth101 · #42 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #43 01-19-2016

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

dawnw · #44 01-19-2016

its a debit card and not a VCC
