giftcardmall.com activation is delayed 10 business days

I don't see a thread here yet but has anyone had difficulty activating their Visa GC's from giftcardmall.com? It's not a good sign if customer service is saying that it's going to take 10 business days to activate the Visa GC's that I purchased from giftcardmall.com. Is this the end of the backdoor link or just a glitch in the road for those that are purchasing from giftcardmall.com's backdoor?

This one is painful. I met spend on multiple cards this way on all different dates and they all have the same issue. I called and was told that the system may have had a problem catching the payment. Some of the charges have posted on my credit cards and some have not.

They were able to see that they did get money from one of the credit cards but my cards are still inactive. They have to go through all these orders and try to figure out if they actually captured the payment from the credit card or not.

I was told 2-3 days but I am not hopeful. DO NOT ORDER UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED!!!

My most recent order (8/25) would not activate online or via phone. Had to log a support ticket. She gave me the 7-10 day estimate. Definitely makes me wonder what's going on over there, as they've had a variety of problems lately.

I'm guessing this has been discussed, but per law aren't all MC and Visa GCs required to have PINs?
