Image Link Will using the same phone number across multiple Amazon accounts affect my Amazon Flex or Amazon Relay account?
I had three Amazon accounts, which I’ll call Account A, Account B, and Account C.
Here’s what happened:
Account A: I created this account using my phone number through the regular Amazon Shopping app. I never registered for Amazon Flex using that phone number.
Account B: Later, I opened the Amazon Flex app and entered only my email address. Since multiple Amazon accounts had been created under the same name, I received an email saying that this email address was blocked. I’ll attach the email below.
Account C: I then used a different email address to sign up for Amazon Flex, and I was able to create an Amazon Flex account successfully.
Recently, I decided to review all three accounts and clean things up.
First, I deleted Account A, the one I had created using my phone number through the Amazon Shopping app.
Next, I requested the deletion of Account B, which is associated with the blocked email address. While the deletion request was being processed, I accidentally added my phone number to Account B because I mistakenly thought I was working with Account C.
As soon as I realized my mistake, I removed my phone number from Account B and added it to Account C, which is the account I currently use for Amazon Flex.
However, after I added and removed my phone number, Account B would no longer delete. I’m not sure whether this happened because of the phone number change or for another reason.
My questions are:
Could briefly adding my phone number to Account B and then removing it affect my active Amazon Flex account (Account C)?
Could Amazon link these accounts because they share the same name or because I used the same phone number, even though I removed the number from Account B?
Why might Account B no longer be deleted after I added and removed my phone number?
I’m planning to sign up for Amazon Relay. Is there a risk that my Amazon Relay account could be rejected, restricted, or deactivated because I previously attempted to use Amazon Flex with multiple email addresses?
Has anyone experienced a similar situation or knows how Amazon handles this kind of account linking?
I want to make sure everything is set up correctly and avoid any issues with my active Amazon Flex account or a future Amazon Relay account.
Thanks in advance for your help!
