Orders from IPs outside of the U.S. should not be attempted unless you first login to a U.S.-based VPN.

Thanks for the info.

Can anyone chime in with recent data points (like last few months-year) about buying non-VGC e-gift cards at GC.com via portals, where and what % cashback you received? Thank you.

Also, how long doe sit take for them to be emailed to you? I'm thinking of buying some for use on the fly, like on the way to going to a store or restaurant.

I tried several search terms and also browsed a bunch of pages since April but didn't see anything mentioned. , hoping the

I've been using Yazing; they send 1% via PayPal, usually anywhere between 1 and 2 months after the order is placed. They often combine payback for several orders placed on the same day or within a few days from each other

Any data points on whether these work at PO for MO?

Also, which is a better site (reliable tracking, lower fees etc.): this one or GCM?

VGCs from both sites are issued by MB so if your PO does NOT accept MBs like many POs, don't buy them unless you have WM and grocery stores you can drain them.

I like GCM better for overall lower fees when I place huge orders >$5K and pay for shipping. Required signature for these orders lessens the chance of getting lost/stolen and I can also hold them at the PO for pick-up if there's no one at home to sign for the package.

DP on which ones work at the PO is simple. None of them work at the PO.

The site has been down now for over a day due to "scheduled maintenance"

The "scheduled maintenance" sign was added after the site was down for most of the day. I suspect it was not scheduled maintenance, given the length of the downtime and the fact that it affects their app and phone service (cannot activate cards, let alone order any).

Hopefully they sort out whatever the issue is soon.

The funny thing is I was actually debating on suspending all my gc.com purchases since I have else that is keeping me busy for now, but this is making the decision for me.

Hopefully they at least get the activation part resolved as I just got 6 shipments in the mail today.

I have just about had it with he incompetence of this company. Site down for a couple days, can't order, can't activate the 10K worth of GC I have not even on app and I am still fighting with them about a claim for nearly $1500 in stolen/missing funds SMH :td:
