Devaluation Amex Rewards Multiplier -AmazonPay Limit - Devalued further?

[SpidySpider]

As you all know, recently monthly Amex Reward Multiplier limit for AmazonPay vouchers was reduced from 25k to 10k per mobile number.

Now it seems they have further reduced the number of vouchers you can purchase by mapping the card number too.

As confirmed by Amex Gyftr CC, they have started mapping the card number to the mobile number you use to purchase the gvs, hence you will be able to use the card only once. (The worst thing is you would have to do trial and error about which number has which card mapped).
They said the portal might let you use it for another account rarely but generally it won't.

It wont let you buy Apay vouchers from the same card even when using a different mobile number.
Tried yesterday, the txn got failed after entering the OTP, amt not deducted. But in some cases the amt has been deducted and has taken 7-8 days for refund.
Also it has mentioned by someone in another thread:

Did you guys experience anything like this?

If they keep doing things like these, the way they have on-boarded so many customers in the past few months, the same way customers will start de-boarding them.🥸

So how are you supposed to buy 6 x 1000 Amazon pay with Gold charge card and 4 x 1500 Amazon pay with MRCC every month?

If you can't do this, then the entire purpose of keeping these two cards is defeated

Get a supplementary card for your family member, that will solve the problem.

1 card 1 mobile number can purchase upto 10k in a month. So probably for the remaining amount, you have to use another mobile number i suppose.

So how to buy 10 vouchers every month?
(4 of 1500 and 6 of 1000)

 

[coolguy1]

Wait, does that mean it's 10k per card now?

So, you can buy 10K with one card and 10k with the second card using the same mobile number?

Or is it 10K per mobile number irrespective of the card without allowing the use of any other mobile number?

Earlier people used to buy MANY APay vouchers (Amt) using different mobile numbers from the same card. Now you have to use different mobile number for different card

1st mobile number - 6x1000
2nd mobile number - 4x1500 or whichever permutation combination you feel good about.

Btw I am the same TF member 😉

1 card 1 mobile number only. They don't let you add any more vouchers in your cart once you reach the 10k limit on your mobile number.

So getting the supplementary card is the only solution then?

Looks so at the moment.

Has the new 1 card 1 number policy come into action? It'll make the gold card pretty useless now.

My monthly requirement were around 20-30k amazon vouchers. With the initial 25k limit it was easily fulfilled.

I got error message when i tried the 2nd card last month

 

[scn]

how they know card number is same? with save card guidelines
Are they storing card numbers instead of tokenization? somewhere? How did they check if not store

To confirm, does Gyftr not have an overall limit (i guess 20k) for APay vouchers that can be bought from a single mobile number?

I have Amex Gold using which I get 6k worth of vouchers (in multiples of 1000) and then use Smartbuy + DCB to get the remaining ones?

it seems to be a new development.. have u tried today... . thats why i said we need to chk nxt month as my quota for this month is done

For me it's even worse. This month I bought 6x1000 AGVs using Gold card, 1x1500 AGVs and a combination of 1000 Jockey, 500 AGV and 250 Uber using MRCC. So in total Rs.8000 AGV, and total Rs.9250 worth of vouchers.

Today morning Gyftr is refusing to even add any AGV to the card saying I have already exhausted my limit of Rs.10000 in AGV! Even the total value of vouchers haven't crossed that amount! I think Gyftr is now just arbitrarily shadowbanning accounts making huge purchases. Gyftr "support" is unreachable and AMEX says they are helpless.
