I just ordered my first set of AmEx GC's via TCB. (2x $500 with a 5.95 off shipping code found on TCB). The GC's shipped out no problem and I'm just waiting for TCB to track my purchase.

I am new to this, but did read through the thread before ordering and I still have a few questions if anyone can help me out.

1. How long does it usually take TCB to track the CB amount?

2. Do GC's have to be customized with my name before I can register them online?

3. My primary goal is to unload these via GCM using ebates 1% CB on Visa cards to then liquidate into MO's. Is this ridiculous or is there anything I should be doing differently?

4. I see the T&C's limit CB through TCB to GC's of $500, but some have reported success with higher denomination cards, is this simply hit or miss or is there a trick to getting this to track properly?

Thanks so much for all your help!
