Do the giftcards.com cards automatically register to an address? I couldn't find a place to assign an address to them on the website.

I've ordered 2k several times, but always used them to load Serve or buy MO, I've never tried to use them for Radpad before. If they auto-register to an address, is it the billing or shipping address? (My billing and shipping address are not the same)

If they don't auto-register to an address, is there a way to set one online, or do I have to call in? I'd hate to have radpad decline my gift cards and make my rent late...

They're defaulted to your shipping, not billing, address. You can change it if you look at the options after you activate it online.

Awesome. Thanks. No need to change it, as long I know what it is. Thanks a lot.

I just had my first order canceled after ordering about $5K over a two week period :rolleyes: first chase denied transaction so had to handle them. Attempted to reorder and received cancellation email. Should I reprocess, change cards, emails or just wait a few days?

Check with Chase again to make sure your CC is not still frozen.

Had the same thing happen last week, placed order with giftcards.com, order gets cancelled due to denial of payment, called up BOA waited 35 minutes on hold and they said they cleared it up and go ahead and use the card. Placed second order, order gets cancelled due to denial of payment. Back on the phone to BOA wait 31 minutes, this CSR said that the previous CSR did not correct the problem and that he will unlock the card, he stays on the line while I place my 3rd order of the night. This one goes through.

Can anyone recommend an ordering schedule that doesn't result in being banned? e.g. order $x twice a month, no more than $y within 30 days, etc..

I did over $20k (just shy of $25k) in March without issue.

I called chase and no further issues on their end, but email from giftcards.com claiming "security screening process" :rolleyes:

The metrics could be random. At least it will never be as bad as ebay/paypal. Just yesterday, ebay "shut me down" after buying $200 in gift cards! At least that was probably only a 1-day shutdown (I was trying to take advantage of a targeted 8% ebay bucks offer). They claimed it was for "my own protection." :)
