It's not really random, its whomoever owns that particular mall that sets the rules (Simon doesn't own all the malls they manage). Houston Galleria is a group of investors while Dallas Galleria is owned by UBS. That's why they don't allow $500 cards and/or have lower daily limits. Simon owned and managed are the ones usually with no additional restrictions.

Good to know! I work across the street from the In-N-Out Burger there. I will try my luck at the outlet later this week.

Irving mall keeps weird hours (no weekend, not sure during week so call before going) but can get 19 $500 cards.
Also look at Grapevine Mills by airport.

Galleria Dallas is worthless as mentioned by AFAM-DFW. Irving and Grapevine have the regular simon limits. $500/card and $10k/max. Irving is only open 12-6 weekdays and 12-7 on saturday, closed SUN. I've had issues multiple times at Irving with the guy on weekends carrying less than 40 cards (and no other MSers earlier in the day). Grapevine is open regular mall hours.
Thanks for the info guys. Then ill visit grapevine in the weekends. Need to complete MS on my SW cards

Both, him and her are amazing and tell me how people go in trying to buy 19 cards and paying in weird forms with multiple CC. And yes, he runs out of cards quickly, specially on weekends when you guys go buy like there is no tomorrow.
Also, they will not be Simon Mall anymore, as they will stop managing that property, so you won t be able to buy your 19 cards there anymore in 2016.

What's wrong with using multiple cards? I do it all the time. Some of my CLs are over $10k and other times the available CL left on my cards is less than $10k. The cashiers I deal with never seem to have a problem with it.

I feel like there's nothing wrong with multiple cards, as long as it's not more than 2 haha 3 and up is just like a 4 way split at WM. It's weird!

I received a call today from my Simon Mall informing me that because they're having problems with the chip reader part of their new terminals, they won't be accepting chip cards for purchases above $3000 until next Wednesday when they expect to have the problem fixed. Since I believe all my cards are now chip cards, I guess I will have to hold off for a while. Nice of them to call, though.

Anyone else have trouble at a Simon today? I bought some GC's they all got rejected so I called and they had never been activated. I went back and was told Simon was having an IT problem today and the GC's never got loaded
