damn, saw when the deal went live but chose to do breakfast instead. Even the pros make rookie mistakes from time to time

So I got an email from amazon saying they think my account was compromised. They reset my password and cancelled any pending orders.

My orders weren't pending but now they are gone from my digital purchase library.

wtf.

I couldn't spoof US address because I was on Mobile and missed it. Meh.

Tbh I have been taking advantage of the $1 Gold with two accounts so it's not an issue.

Yeahhh Amazon chat said they cancelled my order. Then they told me to contact Xbox support about the cancelled order...? Not sure how they can help with Amazon's fuck up.

Me: Placed 3 orders. 1 for physical product. 2 for digital product. Got an email saying all orders were cancelled due to suspicious activity. Why? These were legit orders that I would like refilled.
You are now connected to Shefali from Amazon.com
Shefali: Hello, my name is Shefali. I'm here to help you today.
Me: The following orders are no longer showing up.

Shefali: I completely understand that your orders are canceled. I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced in this case. We certainly don't expect this to happen.
Me: ****

Shefali: Thank you for order details please be rest assured there was some error in the payment and that's the reason order is canceled. I'm going to send your information over to our investigations team so they can take a look into this for you. You can expect to hear back from them via e-mail within 1-2 business days.
Me: There was no error in payment.
I've ordered from Amazon for years and this has never happened.
Shefali: I completely understand however we have dedicated team to investigate this issue when some suspicious activity detected on the account. they will investigate this and get back to you with an update within 1-2 business days.
Me: Wow
Due to a pricing mistake you guys cancel all my orders and force me to change my password due to "suspicious activity"
My order for the NES controllers and s7 battery had nothing to do with this and that got cancelled as well. Thanks for your help.
Shefali: I've successfully forwarded all the details to our account specialist team and they will get back to you within 24-48 hours. Please allow us 1-2 business days to resolve this for you.
I hope we are still connected.

Is $1 Gold still available?

If your gold is expired you will get offers such as, $1 for a month, $2 for two or $40ish for a year. These offers are completely random per account. If you do see one snatch it up quick because they might only last for 24 hours.

I've been hoping they push another promo my way. I got the year offer a month ago but it disappeared the next day when I went to purchase. :(

Contacted support again. They said they would price match the $25 when its back in stock. So it's worth contacting them if your order was cancelled.

Well they have taken payment but the order which was being reviewed has now vanished from my account so I guess I'm getting a refund,darn.

This happened to me in November when I tried to buy an eGift card. My account wasn't actually compromised, and thus, neither was yours, probably. What happened was Amazon tried to call me to verify the purchase since I used a new credit card, and when I didn't pick up the phone, they logged it as a fraudulent transaction. It was a pain in the butt to fix--I submitted the order three or four times before I got it to go through. They definitely need to improve order verification in this area.

The one that I ordered was refunded. :(

Oh well, I feel like these are on sale all the time so I doubt I'll have to wait long before I can get it again.

feel bad for those that didn't get this.

I got one but I never understood those that buy like 50 (or even 3-4), like its not that much to subscribe and if you can spend $150 now you can certainly spend $60 next year.

Anyone else still have a pending transaction with no indication as to whether it's still processing or going to be cancelled?

My order says pending on on page, but if you go and click "Order Details", is says it was refunded. I imagine it's like that for a few people still waiting.

Amazon Digital Services says order is still processing. Order details in the Amazon Digital Services page says it's refunded. My bank says that the charge was made and that there has been no refund issued yet. Amazon customer service representative says that Amazon never charged me and that the order was cancelled from the beginning.

I just want my money back if the order is actually cancelled.
