Amazon just started moving sellers from credit card payments to invoicing.
No warning. No pattern to who gets hit.
Big brands. Small brands. Doesn't matter.
Here's what you're losing:
→ 30+ days of float on ad spend
→ Credit card points (huge for $100K+ monthly spend)
→ Cash flow flexibility
→ Predictable payment timing
Now they deduct ad spend directly from sales.
You see exactly where every dollar goes.
Most brands will cut ad spend when they feel that direct hit.
Amazon knows this. They did the same thing to Google and Facebook.
They don't want to pay 2.5-3% credit card fees anymore.
(They called the COVID surcharges "temporary" too...)
But here's the opportunity:
Great Amazon ad reps can still allow credit card payments for bigger spenders.
If you're spending $50K+ monthly and don't have a dedicated rep...
Time to get one.
Have you gotten the invoicing email yet, or still on credit cards?
