I ordered GC's last month on August 8th, using 3 of my chase cards. This morning, I was able to order using one card, but when I went to use other two, I got the message, YOUR CARD HAS BEEN USED TOO MANY TIMES FOR ALLOWABLE TIME PERIOD. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.
What am I doing wrong? It has ben over 30 days. And funny thing is I was able to order using one CC.

Guess I'll just have to trust FM and Dan's Deals as well about September 22nd being the day, since my checking account statements don't post until the 22nd of the month...go figure.

Verbatim here I would type it out:
We will no longer sell gift cards.
Starting September 22, we will no longer sell gift cards. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you have questions, please call the number on this statement. All terms and Conditions of your account remain the same.
There is another notice about some changes in the Deposit Account Agreement titled Closing Your Account. I am not going to type that part as that is not pertinent to the question on hand that many are having, (and choose to treat it as an unconfirmed rumor - it is not a rumor, it is a soon to happen event.)

Everything about Chase's decision to be in the direct gift card business was always bizarre, so I certainly respect their decision to get out of it. A bank makes money from gift cards on the float and on the fees. I bet they ran an analysis and determined that substantially all of the gift cards bought fee free over the Internet we're being cashed out within days or weeks, with almost none of these cards being purchased online by the unbanked masses. And the thought of the unbanked masses going into the Chase branches to buy these cards at a $4.95 fee is thought provoking. Most of them choose not to bank because they distrust banks, so they will simply buy gift cards at the grocery store or gas station. I do not mean this offensively, but a large portion of the unbanked masses are not the types that you really want in your branch standing next to your business customers that are making big cash deposits from the daily cash sales at the store. I realize that US Bank and even AMEX are trying to make money off of the unbanked masses, but they are not trying to do it primarily online or inviting them over to the house.
