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.

Will be giving GCM a try. Not excited about $7.94 in fees per card though.

My last three orders I've used ExtraRebates (0.75%). One didn't track and so I clicked their handy "inquiry" button and filled in the details. It got denied, supposedly by GCM, on the grounds that the cashback was already paid out through another vendor (portal?).
Since 2*0.75 is the same as the 3*0.5 I would have gotten elsewhere I guess it doesn't matter, but now I'm undecided which portal to use next time.

When you were asked to fill out a form, was that after you called in, or did they contact you specifically about the form? I was having pretty good success on my orders and increased them. The last few haven't gone through and I just get the unable to verify email. Nothing about sending them a form.

The only time I get the 'unable to verify' emails is when the AX CSR in India doesn't register my card to the correct address. At that point I wait a week for the pending transaction to clear, and buy OV's instead. Cost is a little more, but it gets the job done.

I might ask them about that via chat later. In my experience CouponCactus customer service is very responsive with all inquiries. They manually adjusted my cashback once when they mistakenly posted 1.25% rate for GCM without mentioning exclusion for visa gift cards.

They emailed the form, a couple days after the order. It was either fill out the form, or we'll disregard the order as the total amount is the equivalent to a bulk order. I filled it out, sent it in and they processed it.

interesting. the declines were AGC but then I put through a $500 on a regular card and it was declined too. Maybe I'll get a form. In the meantime, back to the stores....Thx.

Since you got turned down on a normal cc, I would call and ask why. This should go through without a problem as long as your address matches.

So I got my GC in the mail on Saturday, but still have not received my activation code. Should I continue waiting for it or what can I do to get another one?

Placed an order on May 1st/approved May 1st. Still waiting to ship.
Anyone in a similar boat? I've never had to wait this long... $3k typical order, so I'm quite confused... Completed a Staples order yesterday, so I will be interested to see how fast those ship out compared to a direct order on their site.
