+1 kept finding my cart empty but eventually it worked out...does amazon get annoyed at these high quantity orders or not? i mean they give you option to add up to 30 for some items....
really not interested in being banned from amazon

I stayed away from Amazon deals, not worth a ban

IME, Amazon doesn't ban you for purchasing the maximum quantity allowed. They only ban you if you try to circumvent the quantity limits by making new accounts.

policy is prime members can not take advantage of special prime pricing for resale

Makes sense, but source? And have you ever seen them ban for that?

That’s doesn’t limit restriction to prime pricing.

New terms on portal shopping for BB? "Only eligible on up to 10 orders per week." Found on MileagePlus portal.

Can anyone confirm this is the case? I wouldn't know since all my orders are cancelled anyways.

Anyone looking to swipe about about 30k? If you get bonus points for cruises it's a crazy good deal. #afaf

OK then, kindly point to which actual laws are being broken here? Because in my discussion of this with my CPA I was told that so long as I'm not actually profiting $600 worth I won't need a 1099 and don't need to worry. The swiping itself can be proven pretty easily as to whom's behalf I'm doing this. It's being resold wholesale (so not required to collect sales tax) and not for any personal use whatsoever.

Start off with this question: If A paid taxes, can he legally request a sales tax refund?
Let me explain why I think it's not that simple - I'm a reseller (not the buying group kind). A resale certificate has the same effect as filing a sales tax refund, meaning that A has to either present a certificate or pay taxes (and get a refund) before selling to B. If he gave a certificate he can then get a copy of B's certificate (and sell tax free) or refuse it (and collect and pay sales taxes), in which case B can request a refund. In all these cases A and B will need to file sales taxes as they are required. I'm sure you can see the problem with A presenting B's resale certificate while he's using his card and then getting a check (A is a reseller no matter how you look at it and resellers are required to file sales taxes for sales in their state whether or not they collected them). I think the only reason that people don't get in trouble is because it's a gray-ish area (doesn't mean it's legal but the state doesn't lose money when done this way) and also there isn't usually a link between federal taxes and states sales taxes. However, I can only imagine that some people will get in trouble if there were some major audit (these can go up or down in hierarchy, I've had a business being audited asking for my certificate).
The only way I can see a buying group being 100% legal would be to "drop ship" to a state like Delaware and you'd only be legally required to file your regular taxes (you might have to file quarterly taxes!).
I'm not a CPA and I can be wrong, but I wouldn't take "so and so is a CPA and he said it's fine" as a guideline, I've had many instances of conflicting information. I'd ask that person to quote the law.

I do this all the time for friends and family who try to build their credit.
So far no issues BH. Never thought this should be an issue.
Anyone here can confirm?

I had with Capital One and Amex asking me to send in a copy of an ID and SS Card to verify that I know the people. There are companies that pay a few hundred $ to do that to other peoples credit.

Banks don't like it if you do it for random people. In moderation I suppose you should be ok

Besides getting your account closed and/or getting access to your account there is nothing to worry about.
