What portal is currently offering the highest payout for GCM?
Check cashbackmonitor and cashbackholic for current payouts. Be sure to review the T&C for GCM at each portal as some offer lower payouts for Visa GCs.
Amex gift cards cannot be used to buy Visa gift cards
VGC issued by metabank. Cards come activated.
-------------------------
Monthly Limit is 15K per GCM account for a revolving 30 days. Once you hit 15K, GCM will display a message on the screen letting you know you hit the limit.
Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call. Orders under 2k have free shipping.
If you get this error:
This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly, or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections.
- A Few people report it is blocked for the day, try again the next day. MOST ppl report being permanently blocked. Or you entered a wrong 3-digit security number.
GCM recommends using the Chrome or Firefox browsers. Be sure you are not using an ad blocker and not disabling any cookie settings (3rd party, tracking, etc.) from the default or you may get this error.
Direct support Numbers is 877.426.2551
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have the cards reissued or canceled. Orders usually arrive in 5-10 days.
Check your cc for pending or posted payments and call about your order if you are concerned it is taking a long time for delivery. Sometimes GCM was taking up to 2 weeks for delivery.

My order with GCM on 1/11 tracked the very next day on TCB, but the ones I placed on 1/12-13 have not.
I placed more orders on 1/14 and Today 1/15 but those still show as pending on GCM.

Question:
Is 15K limit per address? Or per credit card?
Wiki says:Monthly Limit is 15K - Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call.

I think the wiki is wrong. I did almost 30k last month with the 5% at order off buying $500 5back cards.

I think you got lucky or maybe its because those cards weren't actually sent by GCM. Who knows... I've heard people referencing if you go over 15K then you have to use giftcardlab. Maybe its for people that consistently push the limits. I just know I see lots of reports about people getting banned so I've never pushed past 15K.

I doubt you can do all you want... I did a form once for a > $6K order. I think the form is a given for any high individual orders. I'll be interested to see if you can do 100K in a month. That would be a good test!

how do you get the form? you mean if you order >$6K from GCM, then you will receive a phone call and the CSR will offer you this form?

But I doubt any of this has any relation to monthly limits. I could be wrong though...
