Beware of loading gift card. Do not use this service.
So apparently there is a list of guidelines while purchasing a gift card online through Amazon, that if you unknowingly violate, they will freeze your purchases and force you to reset your account, but they won't let you verify the purchase and they won't tell you exactly why they accused you of fraud.  All while telling you there are no limits or guidelines. This happened before and I was told it won't be an issue again as they will put a notice on my account not to flag gift cards.  Even though they say there is no purchase limit on gift cards, there absolutely is, but again they won't tell you what that cutoff is.  It makes absolutely no since why you can select any amount, but then you get flagged for buying it.  The canned response if you contact customer service is "just wait 24 hours for processing."  Which is completely false and there is a department for verifying pending gift card transactions, but they will tell you there isn't and make you deal with them for multiple hours without helping you, and even their own customer service employees are not allowed to directly contact the department to verify your purchases.  And, if you miss any phone calls you are out of luck because there are no return calls received by these Amazon departments.  So my advice is to buy gift cards in person and then pay with it in checkout, but do not load it on your amazon account.  They also apparently have the authority to remove your gift card balance without any verification and you will not get the money back. Do not use this service.
