Check cash back portals to help cover the fees. Around the holidays there is usually free shipping. http://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/giftcards.com/

Limit 5k/day (2 orders under 2.5k including the fees). Cards must be activated before use. Orders usually arrive in 5-7 days. Monthly limit is just 5k * days in the month.

Select the free letter on the left instead of paying for a card on the right of the screen.

Visa issued by metabank.

Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have them reissued.

Why are you posting GCM issues in this giftcards.com thread?

Is anyone using TCB? They show 1.5% and I don't see vgcs excluded in the terms. Bought 2k worth last night and it tracked today for $30.42.

Giftcards.com

Is there any coupon code for free shipping or activation? That will help in minimizing the cost.

I placed 2 orders yesterday using AMEX card both were cancelled due to fraud protection from AMEX. Anyone using AMEX cards for giftcards.com?

Had this happen last month. It was a pretty annoying process through AMEX. I called and they said they'd call back within 72 hours. Thankfully, it only took like 1-2 hours, but once I talked to them, I was able to place the order with no problem.

I also had an order cancelled with a Chase card, but that was a very quick resolution with a 5 min phone call.

I used an Amex card this morning that has been processed. Guess the order went through.

I've had this happen but 1 phone call to AMEX, a few verification questions, and I was on my way.

Anyone who has recently started having their orders cancelled due to "security concerns" been able to get this BS fixed? The phone reps have absolutely no info on the top and could not care less about helping out.

I haven't had any order issues, I usually use a citi DC through tcb.

For the thread - what design do you find hides/obscures the "gift" text on the card the best?

I have been having my orders canceled. I just started using giftcard.com and managed to get 4 orders in this month for $2450 each, but now they are getting canceled. I used Yazing, but I might try TCB if they are at 1.5% The design I chose is dark sky.

I placed four orders on separate days at 3x 2k and 1x 1k that were approved. The last two I placed were cancelled. Giving them a rest until next month.
