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.

Nah, not necessarily. I once had an order cancelled. Waited a day, and placed the exact same order with all the same details next day without a problem. Actually had an order cancelled today. First time since that last cancellation. As with the last time, no clue why, but I highly doubt its a ban.

When you order a custom design for the first time, is there a longer wait time in order for the design to be approved. If so, are future orders quicker?
Thanks
Thanks

I didn't notice a difference. Actually I feel like it was my fastest order/shipment. They also save your designs for next time to make it faster.

MS SPG Biz spend through GCM?
Working to meet SPG Biz spend of 8K. Did a 5K Plastiq payment & some organic spend (1K). Is it okay to MS the rest (2K) by purchasing VGCs from GCM? Is it likely to raise red flags with AmEx in the same way as AmEx Platinum? Any advice/ DPs would be greatly appreciated.
