Obviously the page is still up and taking orders. The question is whether they will honor those orders. They could simply cancel the order and credit the charge back to your card (as they have done in the past for orders that exceeded the limit).

Just saw my online credit card statement and the 6 cards I ordered on 8/16 have been charged. Will keep my fingers crossed. In the meantime, I have been checking out the Visabuxx thread over in Visa/Mastercard forum. May be a good alternative especially if you have USBank branches near you.

Please be aware that I was advised today by both the gift card customer service and bank customer serivce (800-charter) that they will be issuing no additional cards and that, for all cards I haven't received, I wouldn't be getting them and that I would be required to dispute all charges with my credit card company in order to get a refund. They weren't nice about it, and wouldn't themselves process the refund. Order additional cards at your own risk.

I received an email today stating that the cards I ordered on 8/16 had shipped. I will keep my fingers crossed and give it at least a week before I dispute any charges.
In the meantime, has anyone taken a look at the Visabuxx cards? Slightly more fees but they can be avoided by using the issuing bank's ATM and/or credit card. I am considering trying the USBank version. There's a thread about it over in the Visa/MC forum.
