Hey everyone... As you can probably tell, I'm new around here, and was looking for some info regarding Simon Mall GC purchases... I can't seem to find anything addressing my question, even using the search.
So the thing is... There are a few "Simon Malls" around me, but most of them are huge malls... My question is... Is there a specific location/store that you need to go for the purchase of those GCs, or is it in any store within the property?
Thanks in advance!

I'll give it a go at the SM closest to me this week, and see where I can find it (have never been to the two closest to me)Edit: I'm in Florida, so that IN option might be a bit out of my way :P

Ebates?
My Ebates app indicates a 1% rebate at Simon Mall. Any experience with buying gift cards and picking up an extra 1%.
Any problems?
Thanks

I don't really understand my local Simon mall daily purchase limit. We're currently at a daily limit of $4,400. It used to be $3,000. I guess the higher one is better but it's just such a random amount, They did me a solid today by calling up to the office to get more GCs. I like the black "fashion" ones because they're least obviously gift cards, IMO, and they didn't have any so the rep called the office and got a bundle of the fashion cards. ^

CITI Spending Block @ Simon Mall
Data Point - Just tried using my Citi Executive Master Card at a Simon Mall in California, card was denied. Already, had put over 30k on the card so far this year there. Called Citi and they said there is a spending block on this merchant because they have "selected not to do business with this merchant" (specific simon mall).
So frustrating.,..
Anyone else ever heard of this?!

Not yet, this just happened today. I am going to try 1 more but they also froze my card until I called them, the lady wasn't very friendly. I don't want Citi to cancel my account or something...!

i know everyone here probably dont care to reset PINs and just use the cards ASAP, but i like to double check all cards and reset the PIN just in case. for the past few months, resetting the PIN has not been working. only the last 4 of the card. anyone else notice?

There's also an option to reset PINs online + multiple phone numbers to do so. Some resets were successful, but others were not -- I don't know which. I agree that the issue is a major nuisance.
