Don’t ever use a giftcard- you will be forever hacked
I have been hacked 4 times now by someone reloading gift cards to my account using MY credit card. It all started when I added my daughter’s three gift cards in as payment for her chosen gift. Next thing I know a hacker adds $100 from my credit card and buys a PlayStation card. When calling customer service I was told digital items purchased with a gift card cannot be refunded. So they have figured out a loophole. Eventually after speaking with two departments and three people over two weeks I got it straightened out and refunded. I deleted my credit card changed my passwords on my Amazon and email account, and used any remaining GC balance. Since then it has happened 3 more times with the same kind of digital purchases. Today I caught it before anything had been redeemed and Amazon refunded back to my card. 2 issues: 1) I can’t seem to place an order without adding my credit card back to my account. Which means I have to remember to delete it back off after every order I place so a hacker won’t reload a gift card that doesn’t seem to exist. 2) I would like to disable the giftcard reload function- I can’t seem to delete any “gift card” that is being reloaded.
