E639: Maybe Credit Card Points AREN’T Going Away?
Amazon is restricting credit card payments for ads and changing DD7 payment terms, threatening seller cash flow and credit card rewards. The policy rollout timing remains uncertain but could mirror Google/Facebook restrictions.
Amazon may reverse course if ad spend drops significantly, as it directly impacts shareholder value. Sellers should secure credit lines now and negotiate DDP shipping terms with suppliers before restrictions hit their accounts.
This reflects Amazon's broader push to reduce transaction costs while maintaining ad revenue growth, potentially forcing sellers into less favorable payment terms unless advertiser pushback changes the policy.
Request credit limit increases immediately and apply for business lines of credit before Amazon restricts your payment methods.
Switch to DDP shipping terms with suppliers to improve cash flow timing for your next inventory orders.

Amazon payment restrictions threaten seller cash flow and credit rewards.
