Can you use multiple Amex GCs at giftcardmall to purchase Visa GCs? Do they accept split tender transactions?

They are accepted. (Must call AMEX and register it first). No to split transactions.

I've been riding the Vanilla Reload train for a couple years but now that's it's over, need alternative sources of MS.

IWhat are the limits for buying Visa GCs through the GCM? Would it be reasonable to buy ~$3.5k ($500 x7) each month or would GCM shut me down? Can it be done in a single transaction? It looks like Extrabux is offering 1% cash back on GCM right now.

Restrictions: Cash back is not available for Visa purchase fees...

They won't shut you down, but I've had to fill out a form once you get around 10k within a short period of time.

That is a little unclear. it seems to be saying just the Visa Purchase Fee that we don't get cash back on. So you wouldn't get cash back on the $3.95 fee. It doesn't say we don't get CB on the card purchase price itself.

It says, "cash back is not available for Visa purchase Fee, Customization Fee, Hess Gasoline, Acro, Safeway, BP, Visa, or Gulf Cards.

Ah, that was the part I didn't catch. Thanks!

Fatwallet offers 1% CB, so you can buy a choice GC and use it towards buying the Visa GC. Also TCB gives 0.5% on Visa GC. Combining the two, you can shave off 2/3 of the purchase fee of Visa GC.:D

I was just asked to fill out a form. Hit $12k in 2 days. How long did it take from the time you sent in the form, until they processed your order?

Love your username. For me it took 3 business days.

Buying $5k seems to trigger the form. Ironically this is my first time purchasing from GCM but I digress..

Choice Gc has a $250 max denomination. Ow exxactly are you making that work by buying Visa GCs from them?

I've never gotten a form from GCM but have never ordered more than $2k at once. You need to build up a relationship with GCM. When youre a new customer they will call you to verify all the details of your order to make sure it's you. Eventually this stops after you have been a customer for a while. Start smaller and don't do like a 10k order right off the bat

2 business days after I sent the form I got the shipping confirmation for all of the orders.

How long does GCM take to ship out cards? I placed an order on Sunday afternoon and it still shows "not yet shipped" on the order detail screen.
