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.

To be exact, I am using Firefox. I opened the backdoor link first, then I went through GCM through TCB. I copied the text after giftcardmall.com, pasted it to the end of the backdoor link and clicked enter. After about an hour from making my order I received the email from TCB that it tracked.
As I mentioned before all of my recent orders have been cancelled, if and when this money becomes confirmed and payable I will keep everyone updated.

It was either 8 or 6 weeks estimated for me, and I remember that it was pretty spot on in keeping to that time. That was one of the main reasons I switched out of GCM; it's simply not worth the worry.

As expected, my order was cancelled.
I double and triple checked that my billing information was exactly as it was on my credit cards profile. Oh well back to the drawing board for me I guess.

i made an order today using my sister account (i had done that before)
this time they called her and asked for the large order sheet info (which i had filled once on my own name)
i mailed it to them but it is a safe bet they are closed and only next week i will get an update.
OBS: my order did not track (yet). if it gets confirmed i will try claiming it

I made an order of $500 Visa Gcs using the "backdoor" link. Got the cards and activation codes but cannot activate them. Called the CSR and they cannot either. They told me Amex did not release the charge, so I called Amex and Amex told me that they approved the charge. Called giftcardmall again and they said the upper level team is reviewing it. The 1st very bad experience with giftcardmall
. Note that I do not do manufactured spending like a lot of people here, just order whatever I need to meet my minimum spending. I have a feeling that they are going to cancel my order although they sent out the inactive cards!

I had been wondering why the Giftcardmall.com charge had dropped from my "pending" authorizations on Amex.com -- although the money is still not available.
First level CSR said that it would take 2-3 days to activate the cards. We'll see what happens. I'll probably just drive to SM for future minimum-spend needs.

How sensitive has gcm become to large ($3k orders)? I've had very sporadic success lately

Still haven't been able to activate my $500 cards. CSR said that there were widespread issues with activating cards with $500 denominations. She said resolution would take 10 days.
I'm not hopeful at this point.

that purchase was made with my sister card using my account. they called my sister and asked if she had made the purchase, which she confirmed. they then proceed to ask her to fill out a "large order form" (one that i also had to fill long time ago). she filled it and i emailed it to them. (all this on aug 14).
the order was mailed on aug 20. on aug 23 my sister got the letter with the activation code. i got the cards on aug 25. i tried to activate early morning on aug 26 and it was no go. I had noticed by them on my sister's card that even though the order was pending at some point it had completely disappeared from her statement. Called GCM and csr confirmed that indeed they had not captured the payment. Confirmed some billing info and said that in 2 days the issue should be solved.
On aug 28 i received a voicemail telling that all cards had been activated.

You got lucky because my cards have never been activated and it has been a week. They kept telling me another 2-3 business days. They finally offer to refund my order. I need to meet my spending requirement!
