I will stick with TCB and GCM, since gc.com is down to 1%. Too bad you can't use Discover on GCM.

Why 4 x 499.5? Is that the limit to get 4/order with free shipping?

Yea that 4th one had to be $476 a couple of months ago to get the free shipping. I guess that's changed.

I don't mind doing small orders with $500 on each card, it makes it easier to remember and it stands out less than telling the WM cashiers you'll now swipe 499.5 or other odd amounts. But, after having a couple of orders not show up I might have to consider doing big orders and paying for shipping.

My guess is someone at Blackhawk or USPS pocketed them, I don't recall missing any other pieces of mail in the many years I've been at the same address, and I also get USPS informed delivery (they were never scanned). GCM said they'll refund the orders, didn't say what actually happen to the cards (1st level reps, prop didn't have access to that info) but I had to wait until it had been 15 business days after the delivery date before they'd process the refund and they said the refund can take up to 1-2 weeks.

I did 3x 500 & 1x 475 on my last one.

JCD, how did you get 499.5? I couldn't do non whole numbers.

3 x $500 + $498, fees don't count towards the 2k limit to get free shipping.

duh!

I thought I tried 3x500 + 499 before but still didn't get free shipping so I thought the whole order needed to be under 2k.

now it looks like it works.

oh well, I will do 1999 on my next order.

This week I made 2 simultaneous $1.5k orders on giftcardmall via TCB. One came in at 2%, the other 1%. Not the first time this has happened. Anyone else had this happen? Is it a function of the type of visa gift card, or what? Can't figure what what the heck is going on with the cashback percent.

Did you order different types of cards, or what (did you do differently)?

1999 triggers mandatory shipping expense, 1998 doesn't...
