I made 6 diff orders for a 100 visa gift card with the 20 off each time. I used diff emails and guest accounts for 5 of the orders...I will let you know if I get banned.

I think the trick is to space out the orders (i.e. order 2 every few hours or so). It's easy to catch if you place a bunch of orders at the same time.

I was also charged sales tax on my two orders. It was the percentage for my shipping address county. I just looked up the tax laws in MN and it says:

No tax is charged on the sale of gift cards and certificates
So I will have to call them later for the refund.

I have not gotten anything yet. But it has only been about nine hours for me. Online it says that it takes about one business day for the code.

Those who ordered as guest, is your order showing in order history? I ordered mines over 40 hours ago and I continue getting error messages when I input the order #.
