Hi all, I recieved the below email from Amazon after attempting to use my gift card balance. Order was canceled and I'm unable to currently use them (close to $1K). I've replied to the email with copies of my receipts (purchased via my employer hub using recognition points, very common and officially offered). I also called and sent a second email since I have yet to hear back:We have canceled your order and voided your gift card balance used for order #***-1815204-9072262.We have taken these actions because you are attempting to use Amazon Gift Cards that are in violation of our Terms and Conditions.If you believe we took this action in error, please reply with an attachment of the gift card purchase receipts or other documentation of gift card ownership, and authorize all the Amazon Gift Cards used to place the order #***-1815204-9072262.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Amazon did not read my submission on the BBB website at all and wrote back completely strange and unconnected to my case. I did not use any gift cards for order #***-6356157-9881054.
The case is as follows (I will try to write it short and concise so that Amazon finally understands it).
1 I ordered an item from order #***-6356157-9881054.
2. I refused to pick up the package from the *** courier.
3. the *** courier returned the package to Amazon generating a new return tracking number (screenshot attached).
4. Amazon thinks it did not receive the package back because it keeps looking at the old tracking number, but *** works so that when the customer refuses to pick up the package, *** issues a new tracking number for the same package, which unfortunately does not display on Amazon.This is my last call for Amazon to amicably refund my money for the order, which I refused to pick up from the courier. If this does not help - I will initiate a chargeback from my credit card.

FIRSTLY, on July 26. 2022 I request Amazon Pay by Invoice close my business pay by invoice account. I cited an antiquated system, fraudulent emails from Amazon implying credit memos were applied reflecting a different balance due, etc. I made three previous requests that credit memos be applied to my total balance due. After several weeks these credit memos still had not been applied. I made the consequent decision to request my account be closed on 7/26/22. Amazon did not close my account as requested and instead quickly applied the credit memos. Requests to apply credit memos do not happen in a timely fashion, additionally Amazon sends fraudulent total balance due emails and notices that imply the credit memos have been applied. However when I log into my account the invoices have not been applied and instructions are to go through a lengthy process of sending an email and request they be applied, which takes several days and in some of my experiences several weeks. Amazon then reports the account to ***************** with a "history of late payments."As of today, in spite of Amazon sending my past due notices indicating the credit memos have been applied, they have not. My account has now been suspended and negatively reported to *****************. I am still waiting for the credit memos to be applied so I can pay my total balance due. Amazon also provides a link to get help for the account suspension that is nonfunctional, "link cannot be found"Business Response

Hello ******,
I am Raman from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
I am sorry to hear of the issue with reference the Pay By Invoice account and have tried looking it up using the email you shared on the complaint. I was not able to locate any active accounts and need your assistance.
We would need you to write from the associated email of the account with atleast one full order number and a detailed description of the issue for research. You can look up your orders online through Your Account (www.amazon.com/your-account).
Legal and privacy concerns limit the information we can release and to whom it can be released. We would rather avoid any speculation in this matter and assure you of a quick response once we can identify the issue.

The information Amazon is asking for has already been sent to them. They KNOW the email address associated with this account. This is a let's play dumb tactic and automated information request for things they already have.
On ****-23 I emailed Amazon Pay by Invoice at the following addresses, which they require to process credit memos.
*********************************************
In spite of their false email indicating the credit memos have already been applied (attached above) THEY HAVE NOT, per the subsequent attached screen shot when I logged into my account yesterday.
TODAY I emailed *********************************************** the email address associated with this account and duplicates of attachments I sent on ****!!! Of course Amazon already knows this. See above attached file titled "clarification"
Amazon did not close this account when I requested on 7-26-22 after several weeks of not applying credit memos. Amazon does this on purpose hoping to create a situation where the credit memos can only be used to purchase new merchandise AFTER scare tactic past due notices threatening to jeopardize credit standing to attempt to elicit a payment before applying the credit memos. They waited and created a negative event for my company so they could instead suspend my account instead of applying credit memos and closing the account. I call this SLANDER OF CREDIT.

I purchased a watch on March 13th (order #***-0454598-7641015) and the delivery was cancelled so I never even saw the merchandise. The item was returned to amazon by the amazon delivery driver. I have no tracking information but the amazon website says refund within 3-5 business days. I've contacted amazon customer service 4 times (*****, ************************ today) since yesterday (3/20/2023) to be told all kind of things, from wait 60 days to call us after April 15 (no idea why and no explanation). The last customer service person even told me to wait until April 15 and then I need to contact the carrier (who is an amazon driver !). This is completely abusive by amazon and mistreatment of customers. I'm being held responsible for their driver and amazon is holding my money hostage of their responsibility (the driver is their choice).Business Response

Greetings from Amazon Services,
We are unable to update the brand name and manufacturer from "Generic" to KUJOBUY for ASIN B00LHMTMYA.
When a Brand opts to update an ASIN's brand name from A to B, that is considered "rebranding", and can be detected by our systems as tampering with product data that *** mislead our customers.
This is in alignment with the following policy:
Product Detail Page Rules **********************************************************************
Policies for editing detail pages
"If you choose to re-brand a product, you must create a new ASIN rather than update an existing ASIN. This is true even if the product is unbranded and does not change materially after the brand change. This includes adding a brand to a previously unbranded product."
