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.

I always do private mode in Firefox. Logging in ahead of time is a good idea.

Is GCM now the one with the better quality cards since GC.com reportedly switched to the cheap type cards with no raised letters? Are all styles offered on GC.com now the cheap looking cards? I've been avoiding both and just buying in store until cb rates get better or at least the card quality reports improve for gc.com.

Please help with your data points with regard to delays. Some posted processing problems for orders placed on July 10, July 12, et al.
I ordered $500 VGC on July 11. Normally three emails come after each order, one for order confirmation, one for invoice, and last for shipping confirmation. I have yet to receive shipping confirmation, and, of course, no GC.
Calling customer service could not reach live person.

How did you reach live person on the phone? When I chose option #4, checking order status, the machine simply said there was a problem with your order and hang up.

I will say card inspection hasn't happened to me much at all lately.

Some of us have businesses and actually do use these to give to clients, therefore image is important. Sorry, got spoiled with the decent cards. They should have dropped the fees or offered portals more cb when they went to these obviously cheaper cards. I'm sure they're losing business due to this decision. If they haven't noticed yet, wait until the upcoming holidays. I can get better quality elsewhere.

TCB seems pretty good. About 3 weeks ago I requested a payout of about $140 via ACH. A week ago I noticed never received it. I submitted a support ticket and they said that there was an issue and they are looking into it. I heard back from them yesterday and they said that that payment was being held back due to concerns on my account. They asked me why I buy so much from giftcardmall. Giftcardmall has not given me any problems other than calling me once about 2 months ago. I probably have ordered about $10k a month from them over the past 4 months.
