Does anybody used GS.com gift Cards to buy MO at USPS office?
I tried twice (2 different Cards) using DEBIT (as the only option
available to buy MO) with PIN and both times Failed.. "Authorization failed"
Just curious, should I give another try at different USPS location or those cards
doesn't work for that?
Thanks.

The error is only with VGCs... I just did a test staples one and I can get the cart to pull up.
Just called (877) 944-3822
they suggested I get other to call to report the error as it will elevate this with their technical team to resolve.

quick questions,
Does Walmart take Master gift card (PIN already setup) as a debit card to buy a MO?

I get that GC.com allows one to MS a lot more volume than GCM ($150 - $155k/month vs. $15k) but how do you guys make it profitable? GC.com is just over 1% profit, by my math, after all of their fees and lower portal cashback rates. Is it worth it because of the volume? 1% of $100k is still $1000, after all.

So why do so many use GC...Convenience? Willingness to lose a little bit to meet minimum spends? Lack of math skills? A secret portal that the rest of us aren't aware of?
I am still considering it for the fact that I can get $500 VGCs with my name on them, with a slight profit, and to meet minimum spends. My concern, as is the case with GCM, is meeting minimum spends from a website that has giftcard in the name. At least with GCM I was breaking even or making a tiny bit without factoring in points.

Has anyone else had numerous transactions from GC.com cancelled? I've tried to place 2 orders now (last night and today) and GC.com has been cancelling them shortly after processing the transaction. My CC shows the $1 authorization hold, and I know there's no issue with my card data matching what I typed in.
How have you guys gotten them to accept your orders? My first attempt was for $2k, the next attempt was for $1k. The first one was cancelled in minutes, the second one in about an hour and a half.
I've never previously ordered from GC.com. FWIW, I believe I'm presently banned from GCM because of their ridiculously horrendous system. Attempted to place too many orders with them (unsuccessfully).
