They ripped me out of a $20 gift card last year. I got gifted one and I ordered a few bits and bobs, even though it was all covered by the gift card, they still demanded I add a bank card. So I did. 100% of it came out of the gift card funds, and 0% out of my card. Then 5 minutes after they accused me of providing a stolen bank card and demanded I verify my card by sending in a statement + proof of balance. So I did. I tried 4 times, and then they removed my button to be able to upload documents. Couldn't even call a real human, because guess what, when your Amazon account is on hold YOU CANT EVEN ACCESS THE SUPPORT PAGE. It was only 20 bucks, but it just showed me that they are willing to fuck me over at the drop of a hat. At that point I decided that I will not shop there again, at all.
The irony is that that $20 they screwed me out of is nothing compared to the couple of hundred I since would've spent there
Exactly! That’s basically what I said to them, if you’re gonna screw me on 100 bucks you’re gonna lose the sale entirely. They did, so… suck eggs basically.
