    Hey @AmazonHelp - I should be able to tie a bank account transaction from amazon back to an order. Instead, I've spent over an hour on chat support trying to track it down.

    ugh yeah this is the worst, when they run a transaction for multiple orders or partially fulfilled orders, so the dollar amount doesn't match anything in your order history!

      Whenever amazon splits a tx across multiple charges I get a "Credit Card transactions" line (usually) at the bottom of the invoice screen that contains exact amounts that are charged (usually indipendent from the amounts shown on the order)

      oh gosh I forgot about tax... no sales tax in Oregon so all my transactions are a lot easier to find!

      Nope. Not in this case. The order was broken up into multiple transactions (by Amazon). The invoice only had a single value for tax and another for discounts. Only way to get to the right # was to take the sub-transaction, calculate its tax and subtract the overall discount.

      yeah also if you keep the email shipping notifications those usually contain the dollar amount charged and have a link to the orders, so searching email ends up being the fastest. I've gotten in the habit of keeping those emails around for this now.

      Go to your orders, Click "open invoice" for all orders within range you are curious about Look at the bottom for card transactions and you will find the amount that hits your bank. At that point you have a bank tx that roughly aligns with a subset of the order unideal
