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.

Do I need to hold on to the Visa Gift Cards I've used in case I need to return anything? How are returns credited if I tossed the used card out?
Also, what is the phone number for customer service? The # on the back of the GCs themselves seem to be 100% automated with no option to speak to a live person. I wanted to ask them the above question.
For anyone wanting to pay southern CA AAA insurance, Visa gift cards are a good way to go because they're recognized as debit cards. Between that and Plastiq I've been able to put 100% of my spending on CCs.
(Only worth it for sign up bonuses though if you consider the fees)

I would still keep all gift cards just in case. A family member ran into this with an online TJ Maxx order that was cancelled due to lack of stock. They basically said it was impossible to issue a store credit or change the way the credit was issued.

Thanks. I'll hold onto them. Also, does anyone know of a way to check the card balance without using www.giftcardmall.com/gift? The website seems to not be showing transaction history for cards for the last several days.

My most recent order was placed more than two weeks ago and yet I still haven't received it yet.
Previously the longest I have had to wait is 11-12 days, I am getting pretty concerned.

Its been almost 3 full weeks and I have yet to receive my order.
I called them and they told me to call again next week if I still haven't received my VGCs by then...

Another benefit is that giftcards.com monthly limit is $150k/month (2x $2.5k/day) compared to $15k/month (GCM). And then there is the dreaded "we don't trust you, we will cancel any order in the next 2-3month" issue with GCM.
I suggest to always look at the entire package and not just the fees and also to get familiar with the various fee options.

I tried giftcards.com once. Everything went fine. It's more expensive than GCM but nice to have an alternative.

I ordered from GCM before, and it tacked on a shipping charge. My order was for the customized VGC's with name & one of their custom pictures.

It's only $2 per card or slightly bellow $8 if you order 4 or more. The benefit of paying the $8 with giftcards.com is that the cards arrive after 5 days and not 3-5 weeks like with the free shipping option with GCM. And as soon as you order more as $1.5k (or similar) you have to pay for shipping with GCM, too.
