I only buy at GC after maxing out GCM. With GCM free shipping, lower card fees and higher cashback portal payouts not only I get a lot of points but I also make some sweet cash profits. On the other hand I lose money with GC, to the tune of $13 per 4000 points.
Having said that, I prefer GC because orders are trackable, fast, secure and they can be delivered to an address other than your billing.

I'm guessing due to gcm monthly limit and the issues with shipping envelopes not being sealed.

GC doesn't have any monthly limits?

A few questions... I bought 2k worth and fees and shipping was 35 dollars...TCB gives me 25 back as I am spending 10...How are you doing 13 for 4k?
6.95*4 plus 7.45 shipping.

I know there is a daily limit but is there a monthly limit?


Any reason to use GC over GCM besides the tracking?

The monthly limit is however many days in the month x daily limit :D

One slight improvement is doing 4x $500 + 1x $465 for 5x $6.95 in fees and 7.45 shipping. I'm sure you can add in the cents to make the pre-shipping total exactly $2500 but I can't be bothered :p

Anybody know about the MC gift cards from giftcards.com?
Are they bankcorp that would work in PO for MO?

I thought that GC.com doesn't accept AMEX cards anymore. Have you tried to buy with an AMEX?

I think they don't accept AGC but I recently (early Feb) paid with AMEX SPG without issues.

I have multiple AMEX CCs in my profile and they are all working fine.

Probably can't add new ones.
