Keep unused cards active W/ $0.01 sim cards on amazon (shipped)

Thought this might be useful to people...

Esp. if you don't like adding money to your amazon balance in $0.50 increments http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/61950

I have not tested these with the Amex Everyday, but these should work to hit 20 transactions per month for cheap (and if you set up 1-click, it should take seconds per month).

(sorry if this has been posted here before...)

Why not pay $0.15 and get a $1 credit for slow shipping?

If you won't use it anyway, there's no point in spending extra.

Hard to imagine this being around for long, as I have a hard time believing that someone will ship out thousands of sim cards for less than the cost of postage.

Look here, there are plenty of brands that sell for this price: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_popularity-rank?keywords=sim+cards&qid=1425356630&rh=n%3A2335752011%2Ck%3Asim+cards%2Cp_36%3A-1&sort=popularity-rank

I see. Interesting.

The seller probably gets commission every time you replenish your phone

I agree but if people are buying 20 a month just for transactions, that would only be a loss for them.

How do you know how much they make in commission? If they make 20-30% they are still in good shape

That's if they have enough people actually using the sim card

Cool idea, can you let us know if the 1-click method results in multiple transactions with the Amex ED/EDP?

I myself don't have the ED/EDP card yet (waiting till my history is a bit more established), can someone that does have it do a quick test run?

I don't have either of the cards either, but what is there to check? Why wouldn't it work?

Amazon lets you change/cancel 1-click orders within a certain time period so maybe they roll up the charges that happen during that time as well so they don't owe the banks as much on processing fees?


I have an EDP, so I'll be the guinea pig - I won't be able to get to it until tomorrow though as I'm not by a comp so was hoping someone else might be able to try.
