What portal is currently offering the highest payout for GCM?
Check cashbackmonitor and cashbackholic for current payouts. Be sure to review the T&C for GCM at each portal as some offer lower payouts for Visa GCs.
Amex gift cards cannot be used to buy Visa gift cards
VGC issued by metabank. Cards come activated.
-------------------------
Monthly Limit is 15K per GCM account for a revolving 30 days. Once you hit 15K, GCM will display a message on the screen letting you know you hit the limit.
Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call. Orders under 2k have free shipping.
If you get this error:
This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly, or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections.
- A Few people report it is blocked for the day, try again the next day. MOST ppl report being permanently blocked. Or you entered a wrong 3-digit security number.
GCM recommends using the Chrome or Firefox browsers. Be sure you are not using an ad blocker and not disabling any cookie settings (3rd party, tracking, etc.) from the default or you may get this error.
Direct support Numbers is 877.426.2551
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have the cards reissued or canceled. Orders usually arrive in 5-10 days.
Check your cc for pending or posted payments and call about your order if you are concerned it is taking a long time for delivery. Sometimes GCM was taking up to 2 weeks for delivery.

Yeah, I'm not sure why there are so many inconsistencies. GC.com tracks like clockwork and is super speedy.

TCB has a cashback bonus today, but hesitant to use them due to inconsistent tracking.

My orders on 2/8 and 2/10 did not track either, but my 2/13 order tracked today.

My strategy has been to make a couple of purchases every week so in 2-3 months I start getting paid weekly.

I've used yazing exclusively for the last yesr. I haven't had any issues with payments. I'm not concerned with how long it takes for the cash back payment.

How long does it take for a missing claims ticket with TCB to process with GCM? Like many of ya'll I placed an order on 1/11 and another one on 1/12 (after the 1/11 CB hit) for the 2.5% CB... my 1/11 CB hit, but 1/12 order CB is missing...I did file a missing claims ticket a week ago.
So now I have both the 1/11 (wasn't an issue) and 1/12 (had issue) track now at 2.5%. I did submit a ticket and the ticket was updated with this track also.
