Friend used my refund-- funny but what should I do?

That's annoying. Amazon does take the credit/gift cert balance first before credit card, so it's possible she (or someone else) bought something and it automatically took it from the credit. Can you go into the account and make sure she used it?

I'd ask her for it back. That's really annoying. Note to self: get your own amazon prime account.

That is a lot of people who don't live together hanging off the same Amazon account. Anybody using the account could have grabbed that $50. Good luck figuring out which one of them owes you the money.

Kind of crappy if she hasn't texted back. If i were her, I would have written a check and brought it to your house already.

I guess give it more time? Another call?

You'd like your 50, so you can buy the item you really want right? You returned it bc it didn't work out? Not so you could pay for it anyway......

Oh it is???? Well that explains it. I didn't realize that. I'll see if she says anything. I may point out that she and her brother accidentally use my credit. If she still doesn't respond, I'll chalk it up to lesson learned using someone's account.
Bummer... And yes, I need batteries. I actually do order my batteries from amazon so I could have bought some extras. But now to track down my money and ask her to get me a 50 dollar card would seem crappy.

Please, you're breaking my heart - say something! If this was my account and so many people used it, I might not realized that this had happened. I would absolutely want my friend to say something so I (or one of my relatives) didn't use her $50 by accident!!!!

OP says she did say something.
I agree to keep trying. Now a call, not a text.

I know she said something but she didn't say, "How can I get that $50 back?" She mentioned to her friend that it would be on the account and that she would probably use it to buy batteries. Being a busy person, I can see myself noting that and then forgetting about it - especially if I didn't realize that it had been applied to a relative's purchase. I mean, who spends their time watching carefully what kind of credit they have on their Amazon account? OP, please be direct!

True that. I got ya now.

Honestly this would annoy me if someone was mooching off my account and then getting refunds and then I have to fix it when it gets used by accident.

If anything, it would be fair for you to pay 1/2 the amazon yearly price to your friend if you use her account.

+1. You can try to text her again but you're to blame for causing this mess and now she has to take extra steps to resolve it. Just sign up for Amazon prime.

If you actually added people as household members, I think you each have your own credit cards and gift cards. My spouse does not "use" my gift cards because he has his own amazon account, but we are on the same household account.

Now, if she shares her email and password with 5 people to buy stuff on amazon, that's just stupid. Anyone could buy anything and she just pays the bill?

This. Why do Americans feel they can cheat their way out of everything: taxes, service accounts, emotional support animals, lying about where they live for better schools or car insurance. I wish this country were still great....

Oh please. I rarely order from Amazon but when I was getting a gift, my sister insisted on me using her acct. Nbd.

Amazon Prime is pretty clear about sharing accounts- it's supposed to be limited to 2 adults in the same household. Up to 4 children (same household) can have access to just amazon video, not shopping. www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201806360
