What portal is currently offering the highest payout for GCM?
Check cashbackmonitor and cashbackholic for current payouts. Be sure to review the T&C for GCM at each portal as some offer lower payouts for Visa GCs.
As of 8/26, Amex gift cards cannot be used to buy Visa gift cards
VGC issued by metabank. Cards come activated.
-------------------------
Monthly Limit is 15K per GCM account for a revolving 30 days. Once you hit 15K, GCM will display a message on the screen letting you know you hit the limit.
Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call. Orders under 2k have free shipping.
If you get this error:
This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly, or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections.
- Your account is blocked for the day, try again the next day. Some ppl report being permanently blocked.
Direct support Numbers is 877.426.2551
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
