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.

Perhaps the $15K /30day trailing limit is per family or address, not per person. So anyone attempting to bypass it is getting banned. Any DP's to the contrary?

If you're actually tethering, can you elaborate on how you do this? Mac or PC, iPhone or Android, 3rd party software used, etc.

I probably should have just waited until I hit $15K on the first one before moving to the next... C'est la vie.

I'm not 100% familiar with tethering, but you're saying that you connect your laptop (I'm assuming) to your data equipped cell phone via a USB cable, and then send the order to GCM over the cellular network's data connection? Or do you take the simpler approach, and go from TCB to GCM on your phone, and then submit the order from your phone?

Tethering is wireless, your cell plans need to have it.
No software needed. Its native on most phones.
Its called hotspot on android at least on mine

This process gets you a different IP address from your home network without a VPN.

Why would TCB pay you for a purchase made on January 18th and not for my purchases on January 15th. It doesn't make sense. You're the one spreading misinformation. Not cool, Java
