I also did use 3 digit on back, not 4 digit on front - that's what was asked for - so I will try 4 digit when funds are availible.

I may also call AmEx in the interim.

Much appreciated!

Yah. I was going to use the 3 digit on the back also. But chose the 4 in the front.

Also, how come you balance is 0?

I had to buy 492 x 2 with my 1k AGC. after the fees, etc. I have like .63 left.

What kind of tracking time should I expect from Worldpoints Mall? Anyone having success with GCM and Worldpoints mall through their FIA card? If so, how long is it taking to show up under transactions? I made two purchases a week ago, but still nothing... Should I be worried?

Thanks!

Didn't you just ask this on another thread? I would give the same answer. Both are good and I've never had issues with each. Personally I like TCB a little better just because I think their emails/communication is a bit better.

Slightly OT but don't want to open a new thread: Does anyone know the limits for buying Visa cards from GCM?

I bought ~1950 a week back and want to order close to 3000 tomorrow?

I would say that you're OK. I've purchase ~2000 and ~3000 (minus fees) within a week of each other before due to buying $2k and $3k Amex GCs at the same time.

Thanks for your quick reply. I am also using personalized amex gc.

Do I Have This Right?
 
New to GCM but my "go-to" for AM GCs is gone so I'm starting fresh and thought I'd try this out. Before I jump in, I'd appreciate it if someone can stop me before I make any mistakes. My plan is to order 6 cards which add up to about 2957. Im getting 23.70 service charge plus about 19 for shipping. If I go through BF, I will get about 14.80 so the net cost of converting to these 6 cards is about $28. Did I get this about right? Thanks.

Large Order Information Sheet
 
Anyone else been sent a email requiring to fill out a "large order information sheet" for ordering visa gift cards. I did there orders of (2)1500 and (1)2500 and was sent an email from requiring me to fill this sheet out in order for my order to process. Anyone else experienced this? Is it okay to send them this information?

I was asked to send one in. Notice it says they are going to do a background search on you.

2 days after I sent it in, my orders were shipped. No delays since.

Thanks, I read through the forum and others also had the sheet sent to them and they were in the clear afterwards.

This process is very slow. I ordered 5 of the e gift cards and it took 2 days to receive the order. I then used them to order 5 $500 Visa cards, that took a week to get here. Now I'm currently waiting on the activation codes. I figured they would be here today in the mail but weren't. So far from order to now it's been 2 weeks. I don't think ill ever order this way again. Just takes way too long IMO.

Sounds right to me.

With a 1K card, you can get $500 + $484 + fees

With a 2K card, you can get 3 $500 + 471 + fees

With a 3K card, it would be 5 $500 + 457 + fees

You'll have a few pennies left on each card. If you want to have some evil fun, save all those less than $1 cards and then liquidate them all at once at the supermarket. You'll get some funny looks if you run all of them on the same transaction to empty them all out. The woman behind me in line was curious how my gift cards all had less than $1 left - obviously she doesn't read FlyerTalk.

Can anyone answer this???? I did a few orders through Worldpoint mall but do not see any indication of tracking/payout...

I would hate to not take the sure thing... befrugal.

If anyone has gotten a payout please respond how long it took... TIA!!!
