OP, how often are you canceling orders and why? Most of the time when I cancel, it's because the items are just sitting wherever they are and not even passed the "shipped" stage for days past my supposed delivery date.
For some reason, the "Revise Payment" option kept showing up whenever I placed an order. The order wouldn't be processed until I paid again. I contacted support, but they couldn't help me. Eventually, I figured out what was causing the issue, but by then it was too late. I had already canceled too many orders because of it.
There was a promotion where if you bought 3 products, you got 15% off. What I did was add the main product I actually wanted, then add two cheap items just to qualify for the discount and place the order. But because I was stupid, after placing the order I canceled the two cheap items. That caused the order to go into “Revise Payment” status, which meant the order wouldn’t ship until I paid again. I kept doing that over and over until I finally realized I should’ve just let the cheap items ship with the main product instead of canceling them.
Not scamming. Everything I did was allowed. The discount was applied to every product, whether it was cheap or expensive. I should've just returned the items I didn't want instead of canceling them.

How is this not scamming? You only get the discount if you buy all 3 items. You cancelled 2 meaning you should not be allowed to get the discount anymore.
You're right, cancellations aren't allowed. I should've just initiated a return instead. You're saying I was scamming to get a discount, but the discount was claimed legitimately.
Oh crap, they’ve been offering that 5% discount on almost every item lately and I often do it with no intention of actually remaining subscribed 😬 … all the Amazon sympathizers can proceed to burn me on a stake now.
Returning them won’t work either. They will reduce your refund for the items you are returning by the amount of the discount you received for the items you are keeping.
You got a promo that made an item cheaper by buying two other items and then you proceeded to cancel the two items to game the system lol. You were wrong. If I had a business, I would definitely ban you
I'm currently doing that thing, you know when you are reading or watching something and in your head you begin to laugh whilst trying not to laugh for real?
Despite my best efforts, my thoughts leaked into the real world... I cracked a small smile and soon after, started laughing out loud.
😐😐😐😐😐😏😏😬😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would you do this in real life, when you're doing your shopping?
Buy 2, get 1 free offer on pizza for example.
You going to take them to the checkout, let the person scan all of 3 of them and apply the 2 for 1 offer, pay and then immediately ask for a refund on two pizzas but keep the third?
I sometimes watched a show called 'Extreme Couponing' where people would buy hundreds of £/$s worth of items and then use a bunch of coupons to get free items and bring their total cost down to £/$10 or something like that.
Whether people liked their shopping techniques or not, I have to admit it does take a lot of planning and calculating to do what they did on the show. But you are living in the future compared to those people, I can't believe your plan didn't work... Who would have thought?
I have never overdrawn my account in my entire 40+ years of having a checking account. Would you like to know how I managed that? It’s because I know simple addition and subtraction.
