Easier to buy bump stock than gift cards

Ugh made an early order today and forgot to go through the portal(still was half sleeping...). No way to go back now right? Order has been confirmed already.

Go through a portal a.s.a.p. but do not complete the purchase. In a few days, appeal to the portal to establish tracking manually due to your error. They may be able to do so, despite your fault. The first step is just to establish a record, so that you can request everything online.

that usually never works but you can always call GCM and cancel order instead

I would be concerned that it might make me conspicuous to randomly cancel one order, then continue placing identical orders. Of course no one knows exactly what it takes to end up on GCM's s-list.

received two huge orders today placed on the 1st and 2nd. these required signature and according to the usps website they reached my PO at 6:10 am today. I called to place them on hold for pick up and drained them all.

I concur - let it slide.

So I've been getting the "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" alert for about 10 days now after trying a number of different transactions.

Based on the note in the Wiki above, is it safe to say I've been banned from GCM most likely? I've done both guest checkout and logged in checkout, different cards, different email mailing addresses and different phone numbers.

I even called in to support after a week of failed transactions - they blamed my bank, and after assuring them it wasn't my bank, they allegedly escalated it to a level 2 support agent and were supposed to call me back within 24 hours, but that was last Monday so I'm sort of reading in between the lines and thinking I've made the banned list.

I placed 3 orders from 9/17-9/19 right before a 2 week vacation, and all 3 of them only tracked at 1% on TCB instead of the usual 2%. Anyone had this before or can advise if I should file a TCB claim?

Yeah I never wanted to cancel because they are fickle enough as is. Don’t want more eyes on me. Oh well if the cash back claim doesn’t work I’m out a little profit, not worth fighting over $60 and losing the option.

File a claim for what reason? Because your orders tracked exactly how they should track according to the terms on the website? People doing this kind of thing is what kills deals. Just let it go.

Even with a $500 or less order?

Anyone have recent luck using a US Bank card? Specifically, I'm looking at the Club Carlson Biz.

Not sure why you keep asking this. Why don't you just try a small order out yourself? What makes you think this card will give you issues?

I agree... let it go.
