Amazon really frustrates me sometimes. It was time to pay for Prime. Which I pay monthly, because well it works with our budget better. Anyway, like I have mentioned- we didn't have internet for about a month. So I paused Prime and a few other streaming services. So when I went to activate it yesterday it wouldn't let me use my Gift Card Balance to pay for it. Which I know I have done multiple times before. So when we got done with dinner a few minutes ago the other half decided that he wanted to watch something that is on Prime so I logged on and readded my debit card. I guess since we got a new card, something about the security code or whatever changed. Anyway, so I did all that and told it to restart Prime Benefits and it went through and everything was all peachy again. So I went to my bank app to make sure they didn't double charge me or anything. Because they have been known to do that. Anywhore. They didn't even charge my card. They charged my gift card balance. So that ...just. It isn't a big deal. But it was one of those what the heck moments for sure.

@tammys85 Like I don;t know if it was intentional. But my card was tied to his xbox to pay for xbox live, and he just kept doing in game purchases and it killed 300 in like a few days.

With that particular card, I generally turn off spending when it's not being used. Because he child charged about $300 to xbox on our card.
