Any new code for free shipping exist?

Looks like they raised their fees as well as taking away free shipping.

$350.00 – $500.00 $6.95

Well game over finally.

Aw, I liked these guys -- at least when they filled my orders.

Nice cards, too.

I bought my last one 2 days ago. I waffled about paying the $1.99 shipping fee, but I needed $500 to finish a minimum spend. I figured "why wait for 2 bucks." Turned out to be a good call.

If you have any loyalty credits, it probably pays to use them up, even with the higher fees. Maybe I'll wait for their next free shipping code, though. :)

But then I'll earn more loyalty credits and I'll have to order again!

It looks like the fee+shipping-credit will come to ~3.92, which is same as SMGC, or slightly better.

Yep, that's how my math worked out, since I'm new to this whole thing I've been calc'ing it up a lot. I'm curious if there's a general consensus on when it's not a deal? Value you get out of the purchase card, costs of getting the card in hand = some determination.

how is 3.92 the same as SMGC? I thought those were $3?

Overall thing I've noticed on this board is people get super pissed when the game changes from under them, I don't quite get it, it's all a math based value calculation in the end. When the gettin' is good it's time to go get after it, when it ends I don't get why it seems to end in such drama :-)

Simon Mall's went up to $3.95 sometime this past year iirc.

Hope they bring back free shipping soon since it's too expensive to MS even minimum spending with no free shipping and with the higher fees.

i order $2k at a time and have made 5 successful orders. But my last one was cancelled. am I banned do you think? Wait a week or so and reorder? Next month? Or is it over for me. I saw some talk of people getting banned , wondering if it's a monthly limit or something similar.

My sense is there may be monthly limits, although there are (scattered) reports of some fairly ambitious monthly hauls.

I'd back off for a week or so if they cancelled your order. Was this for a card that you had successfully used before with them?

Yes every order same card... I will try that and see how it goes.

New user, bought 3.5k worth across 3 cards to meet minimum spend in the past month. Easiest way to grab VGC to load redbirds.. should've been doing this earlier. The name on the card is also pretty neat (tho my Targets don't require them).

New free shipping code VIP921
