BYE AMAZON: your service sucks and i felt lost in the real Amazon forest among deadly snakes and spiders and all kinds of danger
there is no minus 1 star rating here or i'd have rated this gift card thing as -10 or even lower!<br /><br />ok, sure this may be a great option for the overly rich who shop on Amazon on a daily (perhaps hourly) basis and do many large or small transactions of all kinds ...<br /><br />but not for me!<br /><br />and besides, i never even wanted it really!<br /><br />as i was just &#34;window shopping&#34; mostly as well as putting a few things in my shopping cart only to remove some later as well as save some for another round of shopping in the end, i was prompted by Amazon that i HAD TO for of the gift card or i would be stopped from moving further forward and do the rest of my shopping!<br /><br />isn't that ridiculous?<br /><br />it also 'promised' i won't be charged for any amount of money (a big lie!) until i really wanted to buy anything and pay for it too but that was certainly not the truth because as soon as i had entered my CC info, it had been charged right away for $100 out of my bank account and into Amazon's account!<br /><br />either that was a malware attack of some kind (which it was not!) or Amazon's own scam into ripping off their customers (which it does appear to be!) i had to simply OBEY the prompt in order to go on with my window shopping or i would not be allowed to go forward from that point on!<br /><br />then i realized i had actually been forced into giving away my credit card number and similar sensitive info without even willing to do so!<br /><br />so, i just tried to decline the gift card and remove my CC info and stuff but the Amazon website did not let me do so with the &#34;EXCUSE&#34; of security reasons for my own good!<br /><br />long story short, it took me nearly two weeks (yes: 14 days!) in order to contact my bank first (which directed me to the Amazon's own financial department right away and it was through them that i obtained Amazon's phone number which does not appear on every single page of their website btw!) and to get to the Amazon staff (most of them speaking English with a very hard to understand accent btw!) in order to be able to remove that stupid gift card as well as delete my own CC info off my Amazon account ... (which i couldn't do even after i declined the gift card and had to wait for that a couple of more days too! and i was nearly charged twice for the whole thing btw because of the lousy way in which Amazon's gift card offer works, or at least because of the way it worked for me anyway!)<br /><br />i have not deleted this account of mine with Amazon (yet!) and will keep it for informative purposes only but i'm sure i'm not going to shop from Amazon again, NEVER! there are other choices available for online shopping too, which i have tried already and i have never been in so much trouble with as i was with Amazon this time! PERIOD!<br /><br />BYE AMAZON: your service sucks and i felt lost in the real Amazon forest among deadly snakes and spiders and all kinds of dangerous predators!
