Root account receives AccessDenied on all CreateAgreementRequest calls — cannot subscribe to any AWS Marketplace product

-1

I am signed in as root user. Every attempt to subscribe to any AWS Marketplace product fails. The Claude Platform on AWS sign-up produces: "AWS account registration is incomplete or revoked. You do not have the required permissions."

What I have verified:

  • Root user — full permissions. Not an IAM issue.
  • Payment method: confirmed and verified successfully.
  • Marketplace service-linked role: created without errors.
  • Account status: Active. No Organizations or SCPs.

CloudTrail shows multiple CreateAgreementRequest calls to agreement-marketplace.amazonaws.com, all returning AccessDenied. The requests originate from the AWS console sign-up flow (source: AWS Internal).

Support experience:

  • Opened a live chat support case with full CloudTrail evidence provided upfront
  • Support agent reviewed the case, confirmed the issue is with Marketplace agreements, said they would transfer to the Marketplace team — then disconnected from the chat
  • 45+ minutes and no Marketplace specialist has joined, case appears stuck mid-transfer

Question: Why would a root account with verified payment and active status receive AccessDenied on every CreateAgreementRequest to agreement-marketplace.amazonaws.com? Is there a known new-account waiting period for Marketplace agreement creation? How can this be resolved without waiting for a transfer that never completes?

What I need:

  • Someone from AWS Marketplace to pull the failed CreateAgreementRequest events and identify the root cause
  • Remove any account-level Marketplace purchasing restriction
  • Subscribe manually to the Claude Platform on AWS product to confirm the fix
