Is there only tracking if you pay giftcards.com for it? If you just pay the $1.99 USPS first class shipping cost, is there any tracking available on myusps?

I called and they said my 7/12 order would arrive by 7/29. I asked whether it had actually left their facility and she said yes -- but I got the feeling she didn't actually know.

Yes, you must purchase the priority shipping for a tracking number...first-class mail is sent w/o tracking.

So in my case -- ordered 7/12, first class mail, I pretty much have no way of knowing when these cards will ever show up? Kind of sucks.

gotta use the 7.45 shipping method for 5 cards as its 40 cents cheaper per order of five. Plus you get tracking.

Just making sure you are aware...for the shipping you can either pay $1.99/card for 1st class or $7.45 for priority shipping for the entire order...I would assume you bought less than <4 cards to save on shipping costs (why you chose first-class)?

Correct, you have no way of knowing when they will show up.

Well, I'll place my orders today and see what we get....Now that I know a boatload of cards are coming to my house tomorrow I can start ordering again.

I placed an order on 7/12 and they just told me that the order will arrive no later than 7/29; no tracking number, email notification, nothing just their word. I have USPS notifications set on my account and I have not receive any alerts. I might just continue to use SMGC.

Shitrus

May I ask, what CC are you MSing on? Thinking of switching to CB since I have enough points.

ETA: I also placed an order on 7/13. Called in twice. Today the CSR said there was a problem with 25K cards. Should expect no later than 7/29 and they will expedite.

I had placed two orders on July 12. One of those orders arrived today (July 22).

Got one order Friday, 9 today, 6 more notifications from usps

PSA: if you click reorder the new window lists the last 4 digits of all the gc's in the order. I just started putting the order date in the card message for tracking purposes, so I wasn't sure which orders were missing. using the above I was able to identify which ones i have received.

I'm having a very good experience with TopCashBack. Everything tracks within hours to days and pays out after a month or so.

Got my GCs ordered on 7/13 yesterday. I read that when activated online, the default PIN is the last 4. Is this true?
