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.

I've only placed 3 orders, would it be safe to place a large order around 5k-7.5k on a card I haven't used with GCM??

If you're concerned abt GCM cancelling your order, I'd say move incrementally, especially if you don't have a recent established history with them.

Unless this is a resale or electronic-only gift cards, in which case it's useless to people on this forum.

That 1% just changed from 1.25%. Even though it was always really 2%, maybe the change in language to 1% means that it will really be 1%. I bought some yesterday (showing 1%), so I'll report back as soon as it posts.

I placed an order on April 2, and another on April 4. The April 4 order just arrived today, but no sign of the April 2 order. Is it normal or out of the ordinary that a slightly later order arrive first? Wasn't sure if its something to call them about, since I hope the April 2 order isn't lost or something (though its still totally within the expected shipping range).
