Assuming you haven't confused this thread with another thread and you are not talking about GiftCardMall, it may be fruitful to call in and see what it was cancelled. Cancellations from GC.com (the topic of this thread) are rare in my experience.

Yup, definitely not mixing them up. This was an order on GC.com.

Did you check to see if your CC declined the charges?

I first called Amex and they said they definitely didn't decline any charge, and she confirmed that a charge in the amount I quoted from GC.com would have been approved on their end. Said the cancellation must have come from the vendor. Called GC.com and they have no clue, same as GCM, and say there is no way for them to find out.

Since Amex said it def wasn't them, I placed same order again with same card. Been 10 min without a cancellation notice (last time, cancellation was within 30 seconds of invoice confirmation email). So it looks like the issue is clear now. Maybe it was a matter of a typo in my billing info or something. Who knows.

And it was just cancelled. No clue what is going on.

Going to try same order but with different card. So confused right now.

Third order cancelled within 1 min of placement... Different card entirely.

Cut order size in half, and made it just one $500 card. Cancelled within 2 min of placing. Guess they will not allow any order from me no matter how I change it. So confused why.

I won't be back to GC.com till the portals go back to 1.25%, otherwise Simon is a better deal as long as you can liquidate them. I don't have a mall close to me so I've been sitting out the MS game for now. GCM banned both of us a while ago for no reason too.

Happened to me as well. My 2k order was cancelled immediately. Hopefully this magically disappears tomorrows.

My orders were getting cancelled no matter how I changed the size of the order, no matter what card I used to pay, etc.

My workaround was to create a new account and set my work address as the shipping address. Unlike GCM, GC.com allows you to have a different billing and shipping address for larger value orders. And that order went through. So I'll try and make that work for awhile.

I guess this means if you could get your other account working you could actually do 10K a day if you wanted. That would be a ton of shipments to deal with :)

Yeah, its quite a lot of work to only earn around 1.2% profit (assuming using 2% card).

Has anyone else stopped getting shipment notification emails w/ tracking numbers?
