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.

Last night ordered $500 GC's. This morning (12 hours later) got confirmation it tracked and did so at 2%. But still no word on orders placed 10 days and 14 days ago.

I bit the bullet and filed a ticket with TCB several days ago for a 5/16 order that did not track. Have not ordered since.

I ordered the $500 customs yesterday at 1pm ish and no tracking, over 24 hours later. Sometimes it takes two days for me so I'll wait.

*Just got off the phone with GCM CS. They told me one of the images I used for the custom VGCs did not pass image verification due to their copy write policy. I used the same image for all four cards and the image I uploaded was a high definition picture of my brother and I in front of Gillette Stadium last year. I'll try again with a different image tonight and see what happens.

May 16, 17, and 20 order all arrived today. No TCB tracking for any, but it sounds like tracking is back up for newly-placed orders. Will put in missing CB ticket with TCB tomorrow.

When I go to place a ticket with TCB, they have my order logged from the missing day(5/19). I'm wondering if it's worth filing the ticket for 1% back, or give it a few more days and see if I get the 2%...

Recently moved, then all the sudden GCM orders stuck in approval and cancelation cycle, no exception.
