Why did AWS deny me without a reason?

AWS keeps enforcement criteria vague on purpose so they are harder to game. The practical response is to remove every doubt: domain auth, suppression, unsubscribe, and a clear opt-in story.

Should I just open a fresh AWS account?

No. Evading a review violates the spirit of the AWS terms and risks both accounts. Reapply in the same account with a stronger case.

How many times can I reapply?

There is no published limit. Each reply should change something real about your setup or explanation, not resend the same text.

How does sendbunny help the reapplication?

Own it in one click

1
Diagnose the likely reason
Most denials trace to a thin use case, missing domain authentication, no bounce or complaint plan, or list sources AWS distrusts. Assume one of these, not bad luck.
2
Strengthen the setup before the words
Publish SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Deploy tooling with suppression and one-click unsubscribe built in. Now the request describes something AWS can verify.
3
Reapply with specifics
Open a new support case. State what you send, expected volume, how recipients opted in, and exactly how bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes are handled.
