Why is my account closed?

Accounts can be closed due to a number of reasons. For accounts opened before July 2015, the most common reason for closure is failure to complete the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) declaration before the deadline of October 26, 2015.

What is COPPA? (http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm) In 2015, we had to verify that all of our Associates were in compliance with this federal law. If the declaration wasn’t completed by October 26, 2015, then the account was closed.

While we cannot re-open a closed account, you'll need to re-apply for a new account in order to participate in the Associates Program.

You can re-apply at the following link:

After you follow this link, please click on “Join now for free” and it will take you through the application process.

If you still have questions or concerns about a closed account, please contact our Customer Service team here:

Updating Sign-in Email Address

For security reasons, we ask all customers to change their e-mail addresses directly on our website, to ensure that the person requesting the change knows the password for the existing customer account. We appreciate your patience with our security measures.

To change your primary e-mail address on your Associates account, you'll need to change the e-mail address on your Amazon.com retail account. Since the two accounts are mapped together, changing the retail e-mail address will automatically change the e-mail address associated with your Associates account as well.

Please update your e-mail address online by visiting Your Account (http://www.amazon.com/your-account), and clicking "Change Account Settings" in the Settings section.

Once you see the confirmation screen, you can begin using the new e-mail address to access Associates Central.

If you have moved or have an incorrect address set as your Payee Address, please update this information to ensure you are paid correctly. Please visit the following link to update your Payee Address:
