Ditto. Hopefully they'll have a promo on them we can take advantage of closer to Black Friday.

I got a call from "Amazon" the other day saying my account was hacked. I promptly hung up, reported and blocked the number (not that that'll stop them). Naughty, naughty |

I was eligible for the $10 credit. On the the checkout's "place order" page, I got a little banner congratulating me and telling me that I qualified for a $10 credit to be sent within 3 days. Unfortunately, since they auto-cancelled my order, I have no idea if I still qualify. I'm not sure if Amazon charged & refunded my credit card or did a pre-authorization so I'm going to wait a few days if I decide to try again. Otherwise, with my luck, I'll trigger a credit card "suspicious activity" account freeze or something. If it helps anyone, I have previously ordered Amazon e-gift cards before, but the last time was March 2018, so it must have been long enough that I counted as "new" again. |

I suspect it was the combination of ordering a gift card for yourself, and enabling two factor authentication in the same session. Which is a classic pattern of a hacked account - get money quickly, and lock out the original account holder in the hopes of getting more money before the account holder can take back control.

Whatever the cause, I'm back in my account now. Thanks for the post though. |
