I always do private mode in Firefox. Logging in ahead of time is a good idea.

Is GCM now the one with the better quality cards since GC.com reportedly switched to the cheap type cards with no raised letters? Are all styles offered on GC.com now the cheap looking cards? I've been avoiding both and just buying in store until cb rates get better or at least the card quality reports improve for gc.com.

Please help with your data points with regard to delays. Some posted processing problems for orders placed on July 10, July 12, et al.
I ordered $500 VGC on July 11. Normally three emails come after each order, one for order confirmation, one for invoice, and last for shipping confirmation. I have yet to receive shipping confirmation, and, of course, no GC.
Calling customer service could not reach live person.

I ordered on the 12th, lady on the phone said they have "identified the issue" and are getting them sent out.

Thanks.

How did you reach live person on the phone? When I chose option #4, checking order status, the machine simply said there was a problem with your order and hang up.

why do you guys care what they look like? do you get them to turn into MOs or is this for birthday parties of the loved ones?

I think the other guy was being a touch sarcastic. I can say the other ones looked like bonafide bank released cards. Thusly taking away (as long as the word gift is covered) any worry if a CS rep asks to see/takes a look at the card

I will say card inspection hasn't happened to me much at all lately.

Some of us have businesses and actually do use these to give to clients, therefore image is important. Sorry, got spoiled with the decent cards. They should have dropped the fees or offered portals more cb when they went to these obviously cheaper cards. I'm sure they're losing business due to this decision. If they haven't noticed yet, wait until the upcoming holidays. I can get better quality elsewhere.

I heard back from them yesterday and they said that that payment was being held back due to concerns on my account. They asked me why I buy so much from giftcardmall. Giftcardmall has not given me any problems other than calling me once about 2 months ago. I probably have ordered about $10k a month from them over the past 4 months.

ate they paying out in the end?

July 22nd orders not even shipped yet....Jesus christ giftcards.com. You need to get your crap together. It seems like I need to contact them for every single order now.

I'm waiting to hear back from them. I just noticed that a payout for $15 that I requested in May was never received either. They owe me about $600 when it's all confirmed.

Still waiting on my July 12th order, supposedly shipped last week.

if happened that a portal CB co. didn't pay, which govt agencies should we file a dispute or complain that would be effective?

Why use Jesus' name? He had nothing to do with your order. If he had, your cards would have already been shipped and your cb paid. :)
