Do the following to earn extra cashback on Visa Giftcards at giftcardmall.

1.) Sign up for cashbackhouse. They are currently offering 1% back on all gift cards including Visa GC.

2.) Purchase the e-choice gift card for $250 with your CC. It is basically a gift card for GCM. You will earn 1% on this. These are only in demoniations up to $250.

3.) Go back thru the cashback portal and purchase the $500 visa from GCM. Apply the $250 gift card to the order. (Note: You can only use one egift card per order.) Pay the remainder with you CC. You will earn another 1% on the whole $500 purchase.

1% Cashback on $250 ecard purchase: $2.50
1% Cashback on $500 VGC purchase: $5.00

Total Cashback : $7.50

This will cover almost the entire activation fee and shipping.

This is slow and tedious.

And how about we don't abuse GCM?
They are the only ones who offer a reasonable purchase of Visa GC online.

Don't S**t where you eat. GCM is a place I would like to eat at for a long time..
1% is more than reasonable. Don't abuse it.

cashbackhouse offers 1%. isnt topcashback 0.5%? better to buy AMEX GC at 2% then use them to buy visa at GCM. 3% cash back minus 1.6% in fees.

pier11 Jan 28, 2014 5:16 am

OP gave couple of good ideas to consider. This is always welcome on FT.
Use your own head of course to apply.

Top Cash Back gives .5% back on Visa's so not as great as Cash Back House's 1%. Honestly, for me, I've had better luck with Top Cash Back then Cash Back House. Then again, money is better than no money and wipes some of the fees away, so if you're not receiving money back, the difference of amount is moot.

Yes, this is a great process. Takes about 2 weeks from AMEX order to liquidating, but very doable. Best because there are many ways to liquidate the Visa GC's unlike the AMEX GC's.

Great to know! Thanks, OP. ^

Interesting. Thanks OP.

Huh? I think OP's math is wrong

I wouldnt touch Topcashback with a 10' pole.. They owed me $400 for AMEX GC. and closed my account to avoid paying me

I bought Choice e gift cards so I could get even amount on Visa cards. I am not expecting cash back for the Choice card.

Conditions say the following, but perhaps they were changed since op posted?

Following Gift Cards are Excluded from cash back.

Hess Gasoline
Gulf
Arco
BP
Best Buy
Safeway
Target Physical
Target eGift
Macerich Visa
Choice Card

Edit just checked my Cashback account and it does show the Choice charges I made as pending, so maybe they go through anyway.

I wanted to ask here, has anyone had problems ordering large amounts of VISA GC from GCM? I had a $3K order which went through fine.

The next day I tried to do two $3K orders and two Choice card orders to cover future shipping/activation fees. I got, then what looks like a SAR report request from GCM. It said something about Know Your Customer, and Patriot Act.

I filled out the info and sent it in. Later that day one of my $3K and one Choice orders went through to shipping.

Two days later neither the next $3K or Choice order have gone through. (Still say unshipped.)

I planned to put a lot of orders through GCM. Is this not possible? If $6K spooks them then it could be difficult to put $10's of K through.

Just checking others experience on if large ordering is OK with GCM? Any idea of the threshold? PM back if you would prefer. Thanks.

GiftCardMall- Cashback Tip
 
Are these your first orders with GCM? If so, you can't just go from 0 to 100 and need to season your account.

The online gc retailers are few so treat them gently - to me, are almost as important as the better CC offerors. So take a few months to ramp up - sudden flurry of buying will surely cause risk folks to take a jaundiced view of your custom.

Is it safe to use Citi AA Executive card for GCM?
