I noticed on my October CC Statement a Charge for $4.99 to Amazon.I have an Account with Amazon for $14.99 a month and wasn't sure what the additional charge was.I called CS and found it was for a Motor Trend Subscription. I didn't do this and actually have Motor Trend through my Internet Provider.She said she'd remove it.It was still on this month's CC statement.After looking through my yearly statements I found I was charged each month. I should have noticed it earlier however I don't look at my statements as I should.I have a voice condition and it's difficult to speak over the phone.I'd like a refund for the year as well as the charge to be stopped.Thank you,***************************Business Response

I return many dollars of items of which I choose the option of "return to original payment". Amazon has been applying these credit to gift cards instead of returning those dollars to the "origial payment" card. My balance is currently $324.67 as of 1/10/2023 of which they refuse to return. In addition to the damage of paying interest on the items I thought were being paid off. The applied these gift catd funds to purchases which were business purchases which had been paid by a business card per my choice. So now I haveto go back historically and see which items were paid by my balance and which were against the business card. This is an incredibally unethical and immoral way to do business. After I was on the phone for exactly 45 minutes, and after requesting two different managers, I was told no and hung up on. I want my $324.67 returned to my credi card, at which time I will be closing my account and pursuing options for legal reimbursement. I spoke with a customer service agent (unknown) and them=n a supervisor "****" who refused to give me his last name, employee ID or any further identifier.Business Response

Amazon charged my credit card on file each year for my Prime membership. One year I had stopped using it and it expired and I just hadnt updated it. Amazon emailed me asking for me to update it so they could charge my card. This year, on 1-5-23 they charged a card for $150.47. I didnt get an email that my credit card declined (because I had to get a new card earlier this year and hadnt updated it either). This card doesnt even belong to me and my name isnt on it. You had no right to charge this card. I tried to chat this am with Amazon (which is 150% phenomenal every other time) to get the other card that doesnt have my name on it credited back and get my card charged and received zero help! Legally you cant just pick a random card on my account and charge it when the agreement for Prime is in MY name and MY name only.Business Response

Hello,
I am ********* from Amazon.com.
I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this situation. Upon checking, I see that we were unable to charge your preferred payment method for your Prime membership renewal. For your convenience, the charge was applied to another payment method we have on record for you.
This feature prevents any interruption in your Amazon Prime benefits should the primary payment method fail. When you sign-up for Amazon Prime, you authorize the use of an alternate payment method on record if the preferred payment method fails.
Unfortunately we're unable to switch a charge to another card after it has been processed, but I can remove the card from being used as a back-up payment method. Also I can cancel Prime membership and issue a full refund and you need to sign up again. Please reply back to this email so we can help you further.

Hello, I am complaining about to competitor brand that use malicious manipulation tactics to take advantage that violates the Code of Conduct and Amazon BSA. Please investigate all proofs below: The brand STOPWOOFER repeatedly manipulates with catalog by misuses of variations Adding Inconsistent child variations and tampering other brands' asins with the aim of getting better review ratings. They hijacked other third party brands asins with a hight review ratings and changed brand names to their own: "STOPWOOFER" on dozens asins, eg some of them: ********************************** Then they create Inconsistent child variations with their fresh asins and all reviews from the donor asins appear on their new abusive asins. Amazon customers who clicked on these listings due to hight review ratings getting cheated and are misled.I've multiply times reported and escalated to seller performance team thru an amazon account - case ids: *********** , *********** , *********** involved asins: ( *********************************************************** ) and the seller performance team has removed these Inconsistent variations many times. But the brand creates Inconsistent child variations again and again every time within a few minutes after. We believe they used multiple puppet amazon seller accounts. This brand already has a review of manipulation abusive history and amazon suspended a lot of their puppet account in past. They absolutely unrespect amazon's policies. Please investigate the cases and tampered asins above. I would request to suspend and remove all asins under brand STOPWOOFER from amazon due to abusive repeatedly behaviorBusiness Response

Hi I order pee pads from Amazon and I have specific instructions to have my items delivered to my patio only as I believe thieves have moved in my area. I can not have this delivered to the Amazon locker because this item does not fit as I am told. I can not have my packages delivered to my work either. When my packages are delivered to my patio as I have in my instructions my packages are home when I get home, and I do not complain. I give them a thumbs up, but when its not I must complain. How is it my fault if there delivery drivers do not follow instructions and then continue to charge me $33 dollars. All I ask is for the Amazon drivers to do their job and follow instructions so that I receive what I pay for what I need, so they can just deliver my packages wherever they want and when I dont receive my package they still charge me? Now I would understand if they delivered to my patio as instructed and if the items arent there when I get home then of course it is not their fault, but that is simply not the case and is not ok for customers. I have included the email they sent and a copy of what my delivery instructions say. This is not ok.Business Response

The webpage for Delta Gift Card on Amazon.com is very deceptive and making people think they are Amazon gift cards.

After opening the Delta Gift Card webpage, the webpage looks exactly the same to an Amazon gift card.I contacted Amazon immediately after being tricked and placing the wrong order, but Amazon refused to cancel the order.

I am rejecting this response because: I'm shocked by this irresponsible response, which shows to me that Amazon does not care about customers, and does not take customers feedback, also keeps allowing faulty web page exists to cheat on more customers. Customer keeps being tricked by this **********************'s webpage of Delta gift card. After I started my complain on January 10, 2023, I see there are 16 more reviews listed under this product, about being cheated and couldn't get refund for buying the Delta gift card sold by Amazon. Please see some of them in attachment. I believe there are more victims and not everyone knows how to leave a review on Amazon.I have been a loyal Amazon customer for more than 11 years. After this incident, I'm deeply hurt especially after talking to 4 customer service representatives and going through BBB complaints, and still received such a response from Amazon. I no longer have the trust on this company and will not use this website for buying anything anymore. My time spending on complaining this issue is already worth more than $50. I wanted Amazon to take off the faulty webpage and allow me to return the Delta gift card.
