    I'm confused as to why the OP is buying loads of gift vouchers in a short space of time, (and presumably nothing else) as this probably looks scammy to them - so they'll have been flagged up for investigation.
    AS OP said (though easy to miss in that wall of text), it is the top up £100 and get £10 free offer (for first 40000 prime members).

    They often offer things like that. I fall in the seems like far too much effort to do that catagory and have recently spent enough. It's not guaranteed though which is why I just do not bother. Yes I know bad money saver!

    As OP states they already have another account with this debit card linked, I imagine it has been flagged as a duplicate account made to take advantage of this ‘new customer’ offer.

    Aye, more than likely. Seems odd thing to do though, I have many cards and would not set up multiple account with the same one if I was going to do that. They would also need to be different address's though as after 2 in a hosehold they would also become suspicious.
