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.

At what point in the transaction process can one first see what type of GC they are getting? (MB vs Sunrise)

There have been no recent reports of Sunrise, all Meta. There have been lots of reports of orders being cancelled.

My most recent order was cancelled due to the screening process. I have attempted to place additional orders with varying card amounts and quantities and used different payment methods and always get the same error message that the transaction cannot be processed. I called gcm and they said everything looks good on their end and I have reattempted the transaction, with them while still on the phone, without success. They said to ch3ck with my credit card company.Those credit cards worked elsewhere, so who knows what is causing the problem.

Do all the card designs have "GIFT" printed under the recipient name? I live in NorCal and the WM nearest to me asks to see the card for BP/MO.

I'm not sure about the rules on posting links to blogs, so I'll just tell you to Google search for giftcardmall and backdoor.

I cheezed up an order to make it look legit. Still fails the security screening. GCM needs to get their heads out of their asses.

I might try a farther WM, but yeah, this probably won't work.

SUCCESS!! I went to a WM two cities over, fell in line at the Money Center (no more Kates in NorCal. ) and I was lucky I got the younger of the two women CSRs. After asking to buy a money order, I immediately laid down the candy cane design GC with my name on it AND my driver's license so she could see the names were the same. I paid for the $.70 in coins, swiped the GC, and voila! Money order.
This is the first time I showed my driver's license and GC together, so that probably was a big factor in succeeding, along with the fact that the CSR was a young woman.
That said, I won't be ordering the candy cane design next, since it's been turned down at the nearer WMs. I'll try a custom design with my photo on it and see if that works better.
