Amazon maf is hard
I had a $100 Visa Debit gift card, so I purchased something from amazon with it.  Decided a couple of weeks later to just load the balance of the Debit Visa on my Amazon account.<br />Previous order summary showed purchase of $52.99, so 47.01 would be remaining on card.<br />Tried to load $50, just to see if it would reload the full 47.01 automatically.  Declined.  No problem, good test.<br />Tried to load the full 47.01.  Declined.  Hm.  Better check that original order amount.<br />Rechecked my first order *details*, and there had been a 5.30 coupon applied on my order I forgot about.  So there should have been 52.31 remaining on the card since I only used 47.69.  Seems the 50 and 47.01 should have worked then.<br /><br />Tried 40.  Success.<br />Should have 12.31 left.<br />Tried 12.  Declined.<br />Tried 11.  Declined.<br />Tried 10.  Declined.<br />Tried 9.  Declined.<br />Tried 8.  Declined.<br />Tried 7.  Declined.<br />Tried 6.  Declined.<br />Tried 5.  Success.<br />Should have 7.31 left<br />Tried 5.  Declined.<br />Gave up.<br /><br />As melon scratchers go, that's a honey doodle.  Somehow I lost $7 in this deal.<br />I read reviews about a $1 charge by Amazon to verify the card, couldn't really find that info anywhere in the FAQ and linked docs.  But if that was true, that charge would have been applied on the first order to validate the card.  Amazon did still have that debit card saved in my account. Unless it is per reload, but that would be excessive, and still doesn't make sense.<br /><br />I have a rebate card coming in a few weeks... probably won't go through all this again.  Will try the full amount (and full amount - $1) and that will be it.  That fails, and never again.
