Amazon Won't Accept My Beer Money Giftcards!

oy I feel so burned tonight. I've done beer money for years, but tried a different strategy this year. I would combine numerous sites and apps even low paying ones and just always cash out to Amazon and save up that balance to afford something big like a gaming laptop.

After much hard work, I finally had $1100 GC balance and purchased my laptop tonite. I got this email from Amazon:

Hello,

We have canceled your order and voided the Amazon gift card balance used in the purchase.

We took these actions because you tried to use Amazon.com gift cards that are in violation of our terms and conditions. We cannot reissue the Amazon.com gift cards or reimburse you for these funds. Please note that if you purchased your Amazon gift card from a retailer, or obtained it from a third party, they won't be able to reissue the gift cards or reimburse you for these funds.

If this activity continues, we may take a permanent action on your account.

If you believe we took this action in error, please reply with an attachment of the gift card purchase receipts or other documentation of gift card ownership such as an email or sms from the sender of the gift card, or and image of the physical gift card. When sharing the document, be sure that the name, address, payment type, and relevant transaction information are clearly visible.

You can find more information on the Amazon.com Gift Card Terms and Conditions help page:

I can handle getting screwed out of a gift card or two, but over a $1000 possibly flushed down the toliet?? I earned those gift cards from swagbucks, crowdtap, paidviewpoint and survey monkey. I don't know how I'm going to provide documentation. We are talking about probably over 100 gift card redemptions to get to that balance since a lot were just $5 cash outs. I am going to fight this the best I can.

I would caution against cashing out to Amazon gift cards If you do, make sure you use them for small purchases and don't build up a balance like me. I had no idea that this was a risk. Makes me sick to think of all the time and work I wasted.
