GCM is convenient, but without the cash back portals just too expensive for me when there are so many cheaper options for MS. The gift cards were also a pain to activate one by one. $5k orders seemed to be OK but never go over $5k in one shot.

WHy not go over 5k? I've done it on many occasions, the only thing I have ever had to do from it was fill out the said form from OP.

Diversify, diversify, diversify. Spread that spend over multiple vendors. If you RLAR over and over with a single, low cost vendor on any card you make yourself a shutdown target.

Got a call from their fraud department and they weren't comfortable with the amount ($7 or $8k, don't remember exactly) so they were cancelling the order. They said I could re-order up to $5k as I'd done in the past. This was right at the time the cash back portals dropped GCM so the undiscounted price didn't make it worthwhile for me anymore.
