A gracious Member of Sig Forum sent me a $ 100.00 Amazon gift card a while back. Took me some time but I thought to use the card for new safety shoes. After 3 days of trying to create a account I learned I left the F'n 1 off my phone number so it wouldnt start my account. Numbers of calls to Customer service later I find I cant shop on the site without adding a back up credit card. Oh how nice... I asked to have the $ 100.00 loaded back on my card which Customer service said has been done. The Member is getting the card sent back as soon as I hear by email. That or I will give it to another Member here as I refuse to use it. I have tried to close the half baked account but havnt succeeded yet by phone. No good at navigating their site to do this. Now I have a app on my phone which cant be uninstalled. I disabled that app. How does a app I installed become a system app ? Never mind, I dont want to know. What is for certain, I am never, for the remainder of life, buying a thing on Amazon. Oh I could rant on but will just call it quits.

what kind of phone do you have? On an iphone, you just press on the app icon until it start to wiggle and it has an X on a corner. You click on the corner to get rid of the app.

I love Amazon, and use it almost daily.

I buy things that I could go into my local Walmart less than a mile away and buy.
But I hate Walmart, I hate crowds, I hate self service checkouts that Walmart forces customers to use.

Then again I also buy things that cannot be found locally and I'm sure not going to drive around DFW trying to find it.
2 clicks and it is at my front door 2 days later.

I can buy ANYTHING on Amazon and have it at my front door in 2 days, even if I didn't need it in 2 days.

When an item is sent UPS, that is job security for me.

David, the Amazon site can be a little clunky at times but it is well worth the effort and time it takes to fix glitches. Email them with your problem and they will give you a phone number to call. They did this for me a few years ago.

Don't be such a grouch. Amazon is fine to great. It didn't get so big by being crap.

I've an issue with Amazon that's caused me to remove their app from my mobile devices and shop elsewhere, first, but the apps' functionality, the web interface, their product selection and pricing, their shipping and their customer service certainly were never issues.

I'm sure that if you wished to re-gift that card, you could karma it in The Lounge and have no end of entrants.

Why did you use the app at all? Why not just the website? Seems to be more user error.

I try to support local businesses but at times Amazon is the only player in the game.
Over the last year I have come to rely on it more as the selections in local stores gets worse and worse. For example, 13" Mac Book, my daughter needed it quick as hers was damaged as I related in an earlier thread. The Apple Store was out of them,no store close by either, three or four days ETA. I went home and ordered on Amazon for next day.

Amazon did screw that up though, we got it in two days and they waived the shipping charges without me having to do anything.

And don't even get me started on book stores. Thirty mile radius and the only player is B&N with one location.

Yeah screw the app. I booked marked the login. But yeah my cc is set up there.
I'd buy your card 90.00 ...

I know for a fact that you do not need a CC on file to use the website if you just want to load a GC balance onto your account. I had no trouble at all doing that with a “ghost” account in the last few months.

My email is in my profile. Send me a address and I will give you the card. You are welcome to it. Thank you.
