blu 05/26/21 4:48:04 PM #1:	I had the weirdest call with them, very unlike my normal Amazon calls and sounded like I was talking to a software engineer and not a customer service rep. I tried to buy two PSN gift cards for $75 each with my Amazon gift card (Ive done this many times in the past). They locked my account for suspicious acitivity. I called, they read me the policy saying I broke the rules about buying gift cards with gift cards, and will restore my accountbut their systems are down and cant restore my account so call back in an hour. Like okay dont let me buy gift cards with your gift card if Im not allowed to dont fucking lock me out and read me your policy. I have $1000 credit on that account so Im a bit worried but its fine. <cite>blu posted [p:954328787] in Amazon loc...

Zeus 05/26/21 5:51:18 PM #6:	I went to log into Amazon for the first time in several months the other week and they locked me out for suspicious activity. Instead of going through that nonsense, I just bought from somewhere else. Apparently Amazon doesn't want nor need my business, so somebody else can have it. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:954330683] in Amazon loc...

Lokarin 05/26/21 5:56:00 PM #7:	Do you know what happens if you just use cards to pay for more cards in an infinite card-ception? Ok, start with $100, and you buy another card... you do lose a little due to fees, but keep doing this until you're down to nothing and you can't even buy a $1 card. Ok. What happened? You might think - oh, these businesses just got my money or whatever; but that's not true... those businesses have to pay those fees back as taxes, but you didn't buy anything from their respective stores. Essentially by paying $100 you sapped about $65 from two or more companies. --- "Salt cures Everything!"

I've gone for years at a time without ordering anything and then ordered like $500+ worth of stuff in dozens of separate individual transactions and never gotten flagged or anything.

blu 05/26/21 6:10:05 PM #9:	BlackScythe0 posted... Seems like a lot of effort for something everyone already knows Most online places block the purchase and Amazon blocks it for iTunes cards and google play and more. Big companies need to block purchases if they dont want you to purchase an itemand they typically do. The explanation was that Sony is a small company that fell through the cracks, but thats doesnt make sense as it wont let me buy cards from smaller companies like Buffalo Wild Wings. Most stores have it on a case-by-case basis, like GameStop will let you buy PSN/Nintendo cards with GameStop credit but not Taco Bell cards and Best Buy used to let you do PSN but changed their policy recently. <cite>blu posted [p:954331276] in Amazon loc...

I tend to have a decent gift card balance with Amazon from this and for a while it was the only payment method I used with them. I had no idea there were certain things you couldn't buy that way.
