I definitely didn't have to hit cancel during the transaction. Cannot remember if I had to select debit, but it was pretty easy to do: accept the amount, key in PIN, transaction approved.

Yes, was a meta. Standard card from GC.com with my name customized on it. Has worked well for years, and continues to!

Does anyone have any recent data points about cash back tracking on portals with promo codes?

TCB worked, it took about 1.5 months after I entered a claim

I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find it. When buying a metabank visa on gcm, is it recorded as a purchase or cash advance on a citi exec or citi plat? I'm just trying to meet a spend, not in it big time so I'm reluctant to make my cash advance 0. Or, should I not worry about it and it's easy to bump my cash adv back up later? Thx in advance.

Thanks. Is TCB paying 1% nowadays on GC.com for Visa and Mastercard gift cards? I haven't ordered from GC.com in a while.

Standard purchase. You are all good. Remember: 2.5k per transaction limit, 5k per month - including fees.

As of my last order in late November, yes.

It's not $5K per month but per day, IME. The $2.5K includes the fees but not shipping and handling of $7.20 via USPS.

As of Dec 1 2017, there were revisions to terms as to maximum amount of orders, IIRC it's $30K.

That's not true. You can still order more per account, but only 30K will get cashback from portals. I'm looking for someone to provide a DP on when they get past 30K using multiple accounts...

Me too.. and a DP to see if they cap 30k per email address on the cash back portal or if its 30K per mailing address.

Anyone having issues with Yazing/Mastercard and CB? I put in an order yesterday evening, ran a report today and they didn't have any transactions to report. I always thought GC.com was super fast on their reporting.

Wait, so you are saying TCB didn't track when you entered a code? You had to do a manual claim to finally get the money? Seems like a major headache if what you said is true.

I placed 3 separate orders with codes, 2 tracked, 1 didn't.

I just submitted a claim yesterday.
