Thanks. My store ran out of the "out of the bag" VGCs. Hope they have restocked by now.

I was told the same thing. But my SM said they have some other deal where they hit their quota. I always buy 19x500 = 1 x 421 so I give them a little nudge, but I'd happily buy 20 x 496.05 if it mattered.

I've been told numerous times, the most recent being yesterday, that they will no longer sell the loose GC's in bulk, but only the J-hooks. They said it's because they can't load less than $20 on the j-hooks and they sometimes have promotions like "Buy $100 Nike gift card, get $10 Visa card free." But the fees are the same, $3.95 for both.

Just came back from my go to Simon Mall. Yes, there are 4.95 cards and the manager said that these are 1.00 more because 1.00 goes to charity. Pink border goes to Susan Komen Cancer and orange border goes to scholarship funds in the community.
Tons of 3.95 cards on the hooks outside of the office.
Also spoke with the manager and asked if they got a bonus for selling a value of under 500.00 on the cards and she looked at me strangely and said, “No”. I was going to do 496.05 if they did get bonuses but since she said no I did 500.00 on each.

Was able to get some bulk cards in AZ over the weekend. No luck getting them in MI, only the J-hooks. We'll see what happens in LAS in June...

Bulk was plenty available last friday in East Bay Area. $3.95 per the usual. My homie at the GS desk was glad to see me. I might bring him lunch one of these days!

I'm back in the US Midwest for a short time and it's still the same at the Simon mall here, although now they copy my partially-filled form for use the next day, which is nice. I won't have time for a lot of MSing, but I should get to 70-90K before I leave for SF on Saturday.

I moved a post asking about what to do with Simon Mall gift cards after you buy them over to the New to Manufactured spending thread. Please help the OP over there.

Now that GC.com and GCM are dead, I'm looking into buying Simon Visas. However, I don't live near a Simon Mall, so I'll order them online. Any tips and tricks for ordering them online? Any limits, or anything that may get me shut down? I know they are processed through GCM, so I don't know if that has any bearing on it...
I looked through everything and couldn't any DPs for my question.

i dont think this is true, at least not for Simon corporate online/mail gc sales, which appear to be handled in house.

it's not always unfortunate if you keep an eye on glitches posted on the 'net. I saw reports on blogs that there were fee free days these past Saturday to early Monday morning. Online orders were not charged purchase fees, just the small shipping of .49.

Anyone knows the category SGC post if paid by Citi issued cards? "Department stores" or some miscellaneous thing.
