Understanding Card Verification

After adding a new card, here's what to expect:

• Most verifications complete within 2 minutes
• Some may take up to 48 hours
• Amazon may place a temporary authorization hold
• Authorization holds disappear within 3-5 business days

Common Verification Issues and Solutions

If your card fails verification, check these common causes:

• Card information doesn't match statement
• Expired card

You'll see a banner in your account and receive an email if there are any issues.

Remember: You cannot delete a card that's currently set as your active charge method.
