Check cash back portals to help cover the fees. Around the holidays there is usually free shipping. http://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/giftcards.com/
Limit 5k/day (2 orders under 2.5k including the fees). Cards must be activated before use. Orders usually arrive in 5-7 days. Monthly limit is just 5k * days in the month.
Select the free letter on the left instead of paying for a card on the right of the screen.
Visa issued by metabank.
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have them reissued.

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.

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

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.

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.
