AVS or Address Verification System is a fraud prevention measure used by Amazon and other companies to confirm that the billing address provided by a customer matches the address that is on file with the issuing bank. While there is no guaranteed way to avoid triggering AVS, there are some steps you can take to minimize the chances of triggering it:
- Ensure the billing address you provide on Amazon matches the address on file with your bank or credit card company.
- Use a credit card instead of a debit card as credit cards may be less likely to trigger AVS.
- Make sure you have a consistent purchase history on Amazon. If you have a history of making purchases using the same billing and shipping address, you may be less likely to trigger AVS.
- Use a virtual private network (VPN) to access Amazon from a consistent location. Accessing Amazon from different locations or IP addresses can sometimes trigger AVS.
- If you are having difficulty with AVS, you can try contacting Amazon customer support for assistance. They may be able to help you resolve any issues or provide guidance on how to avoid triggering AVS in the future.
It is important to use online accounts, including Amazon accounts, in a lawful and responsible manner. Any attempts to engage in fraudulent or illegal activities can have serious consequences, including account suspension or legal action.
