Amazon pay card permanently blocked

[Riteshgpt60]

Hi,
My Amazon pay card was blocked in 2021 and when i asked to unblock , they advised me to reapply after 6 months.
I reapplied after 6 month, and it was rejected,
and agin after 6 months i reapply with different amazon account, they rejected.
When i asked for reason. They said i use my card for doing business transaction , hence my was card was permanently blocked, and I won’t be able to apply for another card.

I want apay card. Is there any way to get it.

Can we use Amazon pay card from another Amazon account whether prime or not

Yes if your card is mapped to a prime account you will continue receiving 5% cashback irrespective of the account you are using the card on.

You tried to play smart huh? 🤣🤣 You’ll never get the card even if you do forget the cashback. Your account, BUID, FUID and multiple IPs , govt ID is already on abuse prevention flag at Amazon if I’m right. Conclude your transactions soon before they block your Amazon account . I’m damn sure you’re not using Amazon for business account though🤣🤣

I spend total limit and paid and again spend the total limit on same statement cycle.

That's why cards devaluate🤣 and ICICI is known to take these things seriously.

Take it with a pinch of salt and digest, anyways you have the option of Millenia and S-B-I Cashback, but do remeber if ICICI is at level 100, H-D-F-C is notoriously at level 200 in flagging abuse. They are OG harassment expert

Yeah ICICI takes these things very seriously. I once had a genuine personal spend of 2 lakh on my APay card (camera+lenses) and they blocked my card. On call they refused to unblock saying they are conducting an internal investigation for fraudulent use. The card was unblocked a week later but I didn't receive the cashback (Apay points) until next month. They have all kinds of advanced systems to check usage.

There is also a famous Reddit thread about a user who was buying laptops in bulk and got their card blocked. Get an Amazon business account and a business credit card if you want to use it for business. Else be ready to be permanently blocked everywhere.

Exactly I had a ELSS payment of 2L+ via netbanking, and before I could enter the OTP for payment I received a automated call asking to authorize the transaction or else it will be declined even if I enter the OTP. They have flags for various payments based on their algorithm.

IMHO banks should give a WARNING atleast once regarding their misuse.
Some half baked guys to get RP they buy all electronics things on behalf of their friends and relatives and ended up their CC getting blocked by the bank.

When its their best selling card and they have to credit cashback to their customers, no wonder they have various checks in place to prevent abuse.

Thanks, there is no side effect for this.

There is my friend. Every fortnightly data is mined to understand which card is mapped to what account and if it looks fishy cashback goes on hold and they share the data with ICICI ofcourse in a encrypted fashion where the CC number is a token.

Ok thanks for info
So we can use it but in limited number.

With apay if one exceeds 8 lakh spend per annum higher chances for blocked

My spends over last year on this card easily exceeded 10L, including a single 5L transaction for jewellery. I have not been blocked and I have received the cashback.

 

[aceventura]

I believe if your cashback exceeds 10K in any month, there is an auto block of the card pending investigation.

Ok will note this point
So far I didn’t get more than 2400 points in a month under my apay card

What exactly is it though?

 

[aayusharyan]

Phone booking. What I understand from this thread is that buying many devices for the purpose of reselling (Like Mobile phones)

Meaning buying a lot of phones on discount during some sale and then selling them?
