I’ve been using Wisely with Amazon…
I’ve been using Wisely with Amazon Anytime Pay for over four years without issue. As a prepaid cardholder, I’ve never needed to authorize transactions manually. Recently, after rejoining Amazon, I forgot my Wisely account password and exceeded the number of login attempts. A verification code was then sent to an outdated phone number I no longer have access to. I contacted Wisely to report the issue and update my phone number. The representative told me it could be resolved by submitting my credentials (photo ID and Social Security number), which I did. I was told it would take 1–2 business days. After a full week with no resolution, I called again and was told to repeat the process. I complied a second time. A day later, I was unable to withdraw funds from the ATM—my only access point since the app remained inaccessible and my account was still locked. I called support again, and the representative ignored the history I shared. He suggested I receive a code at the old number or via the app—despite my repeated explanations that neither method was possible. This representative insisted my account wasn’t locked and tried to argue that it might be a system error, dismissing the clear facts. After three calls, I became understandably frustrated and asked to speak with a supervisor. I had to firmly insist, as the representative tried to deter me by speaking over me repeatedly. When I finally reached a supervisor, things deteriorated further. She contradicted the representative by confirming my account was locked. Despite explaining my situation repeatedly, she claimed Wisely had only received my ID—not my SSN—even though their upload system doesn’t allow one without the other. Eventually, she mentioned a “new policy” requiring verification for certain transactions—yet I’d received no emails, notifications, or communication about this. When my mother asked to speak on my behalf due to the increasing frustration, the supervisor dodged all her questions and then claimed she wasn’t obligated to provide her representative number, which is both unprofessional and misleading. I’m sharing this experience to highlight a serious breakdown in customer service and a lack of accountability. If anyone has legal expertise or advice on how to pursue action or escalate this further, please reach out. Complaints are being ignored, and it seems legal pressure may be the only way to drive change.
