I really like this thinking. Wait till 6% and more than $500 to cash out on a AMEX gift card. Take that to CVS and get a OV card and then to MO. Even with added fee coming out way ahead. ^

you'll get an image in the morning what will be delivered.

This service worked very reliably for me for many months, but lately (last 3-4 weeks) has been most unreliable service. Sometimes I get email in the morning, sometimes in the evening, and most of the days I don't receive any email.

At this point how many of us haven't received any March orders? I'm still waiting for my 3/26 one.

I've recently signed up for it and its great knowing incoming mail, especially for VGCs if they go missing. Unless someone at USPS up to the scanning chain steals them, which I'm guessing is very unlikely.

Placed order 4/10, received 4/14. Paid for USPS Priority.

sigh. got this msg "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" after not placing a GCM order for a month. have been placing orders for the past 8 months without problem

has anyone managed to 'recover' from this? sounds like a perma ban to me, even though wiki indicate it could be temporary. i have tried different cc, still ban. i suspect it could be due to mailing/shipping address

Free shipping is taking 5-7 days for me.

That's not a ban. Try different browser and/or IP, you should be fine.

I had that message for months. I thought for sure I was banned, but then one day (using same browser), it worked.

This is hopeful. Same browser, same shipping address, and same CC?

Yes, all the same. I hadn't tried for around two months and then one day I was like what the heck. It went through. Now I'm back to maxing it out.

Great, thanks a lot for the DP. Will keep this in mind.

Same here. I was told risk MGMT didn't like my account for some reason. Took that as I'm permanently banned. Two weeks ago just for S&Gs I tried an order for 1.5k and went through. Liquidated via mo. And put a second order in w/o issue.
