FAQ

Why did you build this?

Sometimes you just want to automate reloading Amazon balance, right? :)

I've been optimizing the micro management of my life and one of them is periodically using ~20 of my unused credit cards to prevent them from being closed. Otherwise, it would negatively affect my credit score. But still I wanted to pay little amounts with my unused credit cards.

I found that you can reload your Amazon balance as low as 50 cents, so I've been reloading it with all of my unused credit cards each month. I wanted to automate this to simplify this tedious work.

In addition, I wanted to try out Nightmare, Vue, Jest, and no semicolons in this package, and AWS lambda with scheduled events for periodically reloading my Amazon balance.

Caveat

Amazon doesn't officially provide API for reloading Amazon balances. In order to support this module, I'm using Nightmare. This means that if an Amazon web page used in this module is modified, reloading Amazon balance with this may not work.

If you find that this module doesn't work, file a new issue.
