Amazon won't let me open a new account

I found a few threads on this site from awhile ago with similar stories so thought I'd post mine here for what it's worth.

Sometime a few years ago I really began using Amazon and ordering CD's, DVD's, along with Blurays. I returned NONE of them. After I got most of what I was interested in I decided the best thing to do would be close my Amazon account and slowly pay off my Amazon Chase Credit Card. I e-mailed them and it took a few e-mails which eventually closed it down. Good I thought, now to focus on paying off my credit card, then when I'm ready re-open an Amazon account.

Soooo sometime this year I tried, and was going to order the new Berserk Bluray they've released recently. I went through entering the credit cards info, a new e-mail, and thought it was done. I checked my e-mail later and it told me my account was suspended and I would be contacted by an Account Specialist. I was like "huh?" So I decided to delete my e-mail address and start over with another one, same effect. I was very confused at this point and frustrated so gave up trying, figuring I'd just try sometime later in the future.

So yesterday I attempted a new account, with my e-mail, and I went ahead and processed my order for 1 item around $78 on my Amazon Chase Credit Card. I thought all was well and that this was all a glitch, but........ again it happened. This time I went to contact them via chat, they told me an Account Specialist would e-mail me about this in 24 hours. I was laughing hysterically at this point because I couldn't believe it, they seemed to be giving me grief because I closed my old account.

I have only ever bought on Amazon, never returned, and I didn't do anything shady most of my purchases were discographies and bluray discs. I have literally no idea why I can't create a new account but I suspect it must be the Amazon Chase card, however I think I also tried my debit at one point last time.

The point is this is creeping me out badly, they have no reason to block a new account from being created, there is no sense to this at all. What I personally believe is they are trying to give me grief over the fact they had to close my account previously, they wanted me to continue using it and giving them money or something. Very strange. Thought I'd just let you know this, again very creepy after I think about it.

Your thoughts?

PS My story here is all there is to it, no secret shady things I did or anything, it was closed at my request and maybe a year later I tried re-opening one to this ridiculous mess.
