My guess is tcb tracks just fine now since everybody seems to be tight lipped about it.

My order from a few weeks ago is still tracking as 2%, so we'll see...

Does it say "Enjoy $500" under your name if you leave the message blank? Also, is the "Card Type" raised text or flat text (meaning could one use a sharpie on the card).

Crappy part is that I've left the "Card Message" as no message (blank). but they arrived with $500 on them right under my name. What part of BLANK don't they understand?

Just get a completely black gift card and sharpie over the tiny "gift".

I have tried different credit cards, email addresses, shipping and Billing addresses, checking out as a guest and nothing seems to work.

None of the text is raised, including the Card Type ("GIFT") and the "$500" below my name, so yes, I am planning to use a sharpie as well. Good thing thing I followed this advice:



but not exactly, though. I tried submitting a personalized image with a black background, and after much back-and-forth over email, I was told that "Unfortunately, the image cannot be something that was created on the computer. The image has to be a picture that you actually took with your camera." So I sent them a photo of the night sky, with the edges where the "GIFT" and "$500" would be written still completely black so that I could sharpie over them.

Hope this helps. :)

I have checked out as a guest with my normal (locked on GCM) email and phone number. <$1k usually goes through fine.

trying to check out as guest or registered but kept getting the message below. CC funding is not an issue; called GCM was no help. Anyone knows a workaround or solution to this?

"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."

I think that's their way of saying you're banned.

I had an order cancelled and kept getting that same message every time I tried to place thereafter, guest or logged in, different order amounts, payments methods, billing and shipping addresses.

so the household members of 4 having the same home address & phone #are all banned? if so, appears that GCM does this by address & phone #? each member of course has a different email address

since joining GCM earlier this yr, bought 6 of $500 VGCs in total so far using standard chrome & private mode. wonder if change of shipping address & phone # would help? not sure how to change the billing address?

if checked out as guest, would CB portal(s) like TCB, SBC be able to track & payout?
