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.

Anyone having issues with online activations? last 2 days I get the following message:
But yet calling in activates fine... I really don;t want to call in 30 separate times though, yuck.
The gift card information that you entered in could not be found. Please follow these simple steps so we can help:

I'm having the same issues. Calling in and using the app works to activate. The app doesn't seem to work for pin change, but the website does work.

30 hmm, maybe I need to step up my game. I've self imposed a Dailey limit of $2,500 or 5 cards an order. Are you placing larger orders, or ordering more often?

I have an order that left Las Vegas on the 10th and has not been scanned since. It was supposed to be delivered the 12th, I'm in Denver.
I really wish GC.com had some way that only the person who purchased the card could activate it. Or at least send an email to the recipient with unique activation info. Anyone at USPS can steal this, activate, and have a $2,000 shopping spree.

haha. No two orders of four 500s. I prefer not deal with the 45x or 465 ones. I do enough other MS that 4k is enough for me everyday.

What the general methodology regarding giftcards.com?
Seems like I can buy a Simon Visa GC online. Pay $504.44. Take said card to Walmart for a $0.70 money order. Deposit MO in bank account. Pay CC. Given 1% back CC (CSR), this is essentially paying $0.14 for 504.44 miles right?? Doesn't sound like I'm doing it right..

You can buy the 5bs directly from a physical Simon but you won't get cb from an online purchase since the $500 cards aren't on giftcardmall.com. They use gcm's checkout. Better off buying them in person and going to CVS, but make sure your CVS stores aren't cash only as some have recently reported. Woman here
!Btw gift.giftcardmall.com won't give me the cash back? That's the url that comes up when i try to get the $500 denomination

Got some temporary ban with giftcards.com too, back in the summer of 2016. Lasted for about two months I think (orders were cancelled) and since then I've been able to order with no problems. I'm not even a big hitter, maybe 2500-6000 a month.
