$1999 still incurs shipping charges, $1998 does not.
3 x $500 + $498 is what I do for every order.

Thats clever. How do you remember not to swipe $500 for that card? You write 498 somewhere on the front as a reminder? I could see myself mixing it up with all others in my pocket, and then accidentally trying to deduct $500 from it.

GCM ones actually have the amount printed below your name on the front of the card so it's easy to keep track of.

Seriously? Did you just ask for tips on how to remember which card has what balance?

I usually use GC.com, where the card doesn't list the number on the front. Forgot that GCM actually says the number.

I also find it helpful to call info for every card and customize the PIN. It takes ~39 seconds per card after some practice.

What do you mean by "call info for every card"?

I agree with changing pin. Looks really odd when someone needs to stare at their card to "remember" their pin. By having the pin pre-set to a code you know, you can pocket the card immediately upon swiping. Plus, it makes it so that, if someone managed to steal your cards, you have at least some time buffer to have the cards cancelled or put a stop on them.

When you call the contact number from the card's backside, the system will provide the balance. If you're happy with that, just proceed to option 5 (PIN). When you know the prompts, you don't need to wait for them -- so the whole process hardly takes any time.

Recently moved to new address. All 3 orders got approved and then canceled.

Any clue to fix this?

Highly feel it is a blacklisted.

I'm in the same boat. However my first two orders were approved and shipped but my last 4 orders got approved and then cancelled. I recently changed address. :(

It cracks me up people still think having a different pin gives any security whatsoever. You can just use them as credit.

Placed an order on 5/16 and another on 5/17. Have not gotten the TCB notification for either purchase. Usually get it the next morning. Anyone else having issues? Best to contact TCB to put in a claim?
