If you don't buy every year, your account is locked out
Just went to Amazon to purchase a disability aid, and I logged in with my password, and it said it was sending me a code via email. No problem there.
It never sent the code. Three re-sends, still nothing.
So, I call tech support. Found out my account had been locked out due to inactivity, and there is NOTHING tech support can do to fix it. They said I needed to make a new account. They could not force the system to send the code.
And in order to proceed with a new account, you MUST send Amazon a video selfie.
FUCK AMAZON. This is bullshit. If they don't want me as a customer, them fuck them, I'll shop elsewhere. Walmart doesn't require this bullshit. Fuck Amazon trying to become Palantir.
They just lost about $100 today, and any money they would have made on me for the rest of my life. May Amazon go bankrupt and Bezos be stripped of everything. I'd rather buy local.
Edit: I just checked my email, and the last time I ordered from Amazon was 6 months ago November 2025). THEY LIED. They're doing this JUST TO GET THE SELFIE.
