What portal is currently offering the highest payout for GCM?
Check cashbackmonitor and cashbackholic for current payouts. Be sure to review the T&C for GCM at each portal as some offer lower payouts for Visa GCs.
As of 8/26, Amex gift cards cannot be used to buy Visa gift cards
VGC issued by metabank. Cards come activated.
-------------------------
Monthly Limit is 15K per GCM account for a revolving 30 days. Once you hit 15K, GCM will display a message on the screen letting you know you hit the limit.
Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call. Orders under 2k have free shipping.
If you get this error:
This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly, or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections.
- Your account is blocked for the day, try again the next day. Some ppl report being permanently blocked.
Direct support Numbers is 877.426.2551
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen.

Got this email too. Does the 0.4% make a big difference? What would be the best route to maximize profits/points?

I got the same e-mail. .4% is $2 on each $500 card, which would just offset the shipping cost. So it would be a cost of acquisition of $3.95 on each $500, which isn't too bad, but you have to wait for shipping. They are metabank at least, so easy to use at WM and other locations. But its the same price as SMGC after the .4% so doesn't have an advantage over SMGC other than to saving on driving time/gas, with the risk of being lost in the mail.
I'd rather stick with SMGC over GCM since I have two SMGC with easy access, one on my way home from work.

Or allow Amex GC to be used for purchase of VGC. Thats an option.
Or Do Both. ^

What fees are you trying to offset? Credit Card annual fees? We had to stop taking Amex GCs because the fees we pay to Amex to accept the cards are too high. You can use Amex GiftCards to buy Visa incentive cards at IncentiveCardLab.com
I have no clue if you're real, but to answer your question, we get 1.5% cash back for buying Amex GCs. If we can use those to buy pin-enabled Visa GCs, the 1.5% cash back offsets the fees that you charge for the Visa GCs. That's what we're interested in. We can use our Amex GCs at numerous brick & mortar places to buy Visas, but we are willing to pay slightly more for the convenience of buying online -- however, IncentiveCardLabs is not in the "slightly more" category; it is way too pricey.

Personal Identification Number
You will not receive a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) with your Card Account.
So it appears that these cards are not PIN enabled.

If that is true have you even tried to negotiate a better rate with Amex? An organization of your size, it seems like this should be something you could do.
The fees we're trying to offset are the fees your charge to load the Visa gift card with money and ship it to us. If we purchase an Amex gift card through a portal that gives us cash back and we pay with that it allows us to offset the fee you charge for each gift card.
That is if your are even with GCM...

Do you guys pay extra for tracking, or do the cards arrive like clockwork, like the Staples GC from GCM?

AGC's and VGC's can be liquidated via MO at Walmart for .70 cents each, right?
