I have an amazon account and I opened an Amazon Credit Card account. Problem is you ca n't log on to make a payment without being redirected and then asked to log on again to a different website. I had constant issues logging into the third party website every time I wanted to make a payment. I was so frustrated just trying to make payments I decided to close my account and would have expected when I clicked the close your account option over the phone, it would have required you to pay and close the account. Nope it just closes your account. Then I tried to make a payment using my Credit Card to pay the entire amount off and it wo n't accept a credit card payment nor would it allow me to reopen my account. No way should it allow you to close your account without informing you of your closing balance and stating the only way to pay off the balance is via a checking account. I would NEVER have closed the account had that information been provided prior to the closure. I would have simply remained making the payments however troublesome making them were. Now I will be forced to pay the entire amount at once. I believe they make it difficult purposefully.
