This on Amazon: Why am I seeing a digital receipt for a Whole Foods Market in-store purchase in my Amazon account?

As described in the Whole Foods Market Privacy Notice , if you pay at a Whole Foods Market store with a payment card that is saved as a payment method in your Amazon account or you otherwise identify as an Amazon accountholder at checkout (e.g., by scanning the designated QR code, entering the phone number associated with your Amazon account on the customer-facing display at checkout, or paying using an Amazon One account that is linked to your Amazon.com account), then your Whole Foods Market transaction will be linked to your Amazon account, which will result in any Prime savings being applied to the transaction and a digital receipt for the transaction being shown on the Amazon “ Your Orders ” page.

Someone is simply using your phone number for the discounts.

I just discovered this on my Amazon account today (recorded WF shopping events going back to at least 2024). I don't have Prime . So I get the annoyance of each shopping trip showing up but don't get the discount to add insult to obnoxiousness. I think on Amazon it said that because the CC I use at WF is my saved CC on Amazon it generates these " orders" that aren't orders at all. ( I go to the store myself, old fashioned that way). I think there is a way to make it stop but I didn't have the bandwidth to read it let along attempt to accomplish what it entails.

Anyway, it made me quit amazon finally.

Amazon made me go through account security tightening procedure - change password, two step verification, etc. No result. These purchases keep showing up.

Sounds like their data is messed up. The customer service reps had no clue what I was talking about and would not open a ticket to the dev team.

I also have groceries showing up under my order history. My husband was the shopper, the prime member, and he paid with his credit card. It is weird and creepy to see them in my account.

Another weird thing is that they kept sending my orders to my mother, even though the default address is my house. I noticed that the Amazon Fresh was defaulted to her address but I did not buy anything from Fresh.

Do they still have QA teams or the developers are testing their own code?

It shows up if the credit card used is in your Amazon wallet. I would check all the cards that you have saved. Have you ever used your Prime account to buy something for someone using their card?

This.

My mom's card is in my account so that I can buy things for her with her card. Now, any purchase she makes using any of her bank's cards at Whole Foods now shows up on my Amazon past orders since her bank account is linked to my Amazon account through one of her cards being on my profile. It's in the fine prints of Whole Foods and Amazon. I thought I was hacked at first, but all the purchases that she made at Whole Foods checks out with the amounts that appeared on my Amazon past orders.

I had a couple of things happen on Amazon recently that made me think (as a former software professional) of data corruption in their order database.

1) Searched my order history for an item I'd bought one time (a shower drain strainer) together with another item (a different shower drain strainer). The history came up with two orders for that pair of items on different dates, and I know I made that order only once. I was never charged for the spurious order and I never received anything from it.

2) I returned a set of knives to an Amazon Fresh store, and later got a notice that it hadn't been returned and I was going to be charged. By itself that could be explained lots of ways. But the notice said that instead of the knives I had returned a pair of boots and been credited their price. Yet I had never ordered such boots and had never been credited for returning them. This screwup did result in a mistaken charge which Amazon reversed once I found a way to make their chatbot think I was confused so it would connect me to a live person.

Yes. This started to happen to me last December - about a month ago. CC is not charged but the WF purchases show on my order list. Very annoying. Amazon made me go through account security tightening procedure - change password, two step verification, etc. No result. These purchases keep showing up.

Since I live 2 blocks from Whole Foods it’s a shockingly long and very frequent list, at least every other day.

This is happening to me too.

Yes, just noticed it happening to me and it’s going back to 2023 and 2022 - I don’t eat meat and that’s why I noticed. Called Amazon and they say it’s not on my history but I can see it clearly on my order history. I can’t find it in my credit card statements.. and I’m pretty sure I would have seen it at the time.

I’m 19:23 - it could be a colleague using your phone number for the discount, especially if you’re using it for work. I used to randomly use my mom’s # to get discounts at stores that weren’t in my region.
