My account was terminated and do quite understand why. I haven't done anything dodgy.

Received emails below:

We insist that you immediately stop this activity and remove all Amazon content, including Special Links, from your site(s). Any other accounts you have or may open in the future may be closed and you will not receive any advertising fees. We reserve all other rights and claims we may have.

Warmest Regards,

In what manner did you display amazon customer reviews on your site? Did you use the API or just copy pasted them? Or maybe you displayed just the positive reviews.
 
This seems to be the issue; " You are not in compliance with Participation Requirement Number 28 and the License Agreement because you are displaying our customer reviews in a manner that is altered from how they are provided to you "

Are you changing the reviews ?
 
1) I have never used their reviews
2) I only have to 1 US account (only applied once)
 
They believe you have used their customer reviews in a manner that does not comply with their terms of service. I hate it when they just terminate accounts and refuse to pay any commissions. They could have warned.
