A couple experiments in the past have got me banned from Amazon Product Advertising API for breaking the TOS, and I can confirm that other aspects of the account (store access, AWS account) were never shutoff. That said I would not recommend using the admin account for your AWS account for purchases. Historically the support for Amazon store has been easy to social engineer (see links for reference) and I imagine with enough info about the Amazon account and/or product purchase history a clever con artist could get your Amazon store account details changed and password reset, to give them access to your AWS account. Best to keep the email for your AWS admin account just as secret as the password, and only log into it when you need to change billing info. Use a separate IAM account for day to day access. http://gizmodo.com/5969981/two-for-one-amazons-socially-engineered-replacement-order-scam http://gizmodo.com/5969981/two-for-one-amazons-socially-engi... http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/ http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/
