Thanks

I'm slightly concerned but $2k is $2k. Totally agree on the idiocy of them not shipping activation codes separately. FWIW my shipment that I did receive was in a normal priority mail envelope with a common printed USPS label with Blackhawk Networks as the return address. The thief has to know what they are looking for.

Problem is these VGCs are suppose to be gifts (not for MS activity). ;)

VGCs may go through multiple people before it reaches to intended person making it hard for intended person to activate VGCs.

Although, what GC.com can do is give option to purchaser for additional security activation feature while placing order. :)

That's a good point. Perhaps email activation codes, or at least mail them separately. Then thief would have to snag 2 envelopes.

Both orders were scanned last night arriving in my city's sort center. So they should be delivered today. USPS has been sucking with service commitments lately. 2day Priority Mail has been taking 4-5 business days lately.

Some companies do send a separate envelope with activation codes. But the odd thing is that often the activation code envelope and the envelope with the GCs arrive on the same day. Well, if someone is a thief and knows this, that makes it pretty easy to snag both envelopes.

So I think there is always risk with the online GC orders whether you are ordering from GC.com, GCM.com, or Staples

Both delivered today.

Anyone know which card will free up CL faster with a payment, Capital One Spark or Barclay A+? Not sure if I'm going to be able to get in my daily GC.com orders since I mismanaged my BPs.

Has anyone been able to add a new SPG Amex at checkout by clicking the option save the payment information?

Can you pay Barclay with a giftcard.com GC over phone?

What are you go-to GC credit cards? Do you mostly do GC transactions on those cards or also mix organic spend?

I seriously doubt it. I'm sure this would have been abused if it was possible.

Side note: I noticed that the envelopes that came in the mail had my billing address listed as the return sender. So, they got rid of the "Blackhawk Network" being listed on the envelope. I barely noticed before I pitched. But, maybe this has to do with some of the theft recently. A baby step, but at least a good thing. Next step would be to require someone be logged into account to activate.

Yes (SPG business)

Thanks for the tip. Never realized you could do that :p

Had a untracked order on March 19. Submitted a claim and for some reason it changed the date to today (3/29) thus its now on ice to 7 days lol. Anyone else having claim submission issues?
