Amex Gyftr Devaluation? Multiple numbers not working

[pslashb]

Tried buying more than 10K Amazon Vouchers from Gyftr yesterday and post 10K all transactions were getting declined after using a different mobile numbers. Can anyone else confirm the same?

Relevant reddit thread:

Update:

- Multiple folks have confirmed that their transactions are getting decline, so definitely seems to be true.
- Add-On card will be counted as separate card so you might be able to bypass the 10K limit. I will update this post once I am able to test that myself

Not patched. They (Amex) are not allowing alternate number on gyftr post 10K GV shopping. Gyftr isballowing but not Amex

I think you can buy multiple 10000 vouchers using Infinia with different mobile numbers

Any idea if getting addon cards will bypass this?

This is very customer unfriendly.

Which Gyftr it is? AMEX Gfytr seems to run out of APay Vouchers. Only 250rs available. @pslashb

Yes Amazon Pay Gift Card Only. The same that you’re talking about.

 

[PaneerButterMasala]

OMG. Were you buying 250*10 in that case?

Yes, addon is considered separate. Verified

Because you can always withdraw that one crore fixed deposit after getting the card

He can negotiate with me on that but straight up saying only ITR will work is weird

Go to different branch

This is a standard rule, they cannot break it.
they have learnt from their mistakes of allowing on fixed deposits in the past.
People got the card and simply withdrew the fixed deposits
