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 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. ^

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.

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

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.

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.
