If everything else goes well for you, you'll need to use that card exactly once. Just be concerned that the mag stripe has about the right dimensions and is parallel to the edge.

Hello,
I need to meet 3K minimum spending on Citi Business Platinum Select. Any experience with using Citi Business card with GCM?

Thanks.

I used new Citi cards with GCM before without issues, making 2x $1.5K purchases a week or two apart. It's important not to use the same card for small purchases during that period.

Ugh, tried to setup a second account, different billing address than my first account. Order went through and then 3 hours later I get the "Your GiftCardMall order has been cancelled" email. Grrr. Guess I try creating a new account tomorrow on a different IP address. These guys are such an odd bunch. No phone call or anything.

Side question: Is there any issue with using the same phone number on multiple accounts. I was using a different number but might try my primary number.

Why not?

I'd also like to know if there are caveats on having more than one account at the same address.

I am running two accounts using two different CC but with exact same name, same phone, same account and billing address.

I placed my first order of VISA GCs from GCM on 11/1. It is the self-design version that uses your own photos. TCB initially tracked the transaction with 2% cashback. Today when I checked my TCB account, I found that the cashback dropped to $0.00 with "payable" status. I did not use any coupon codes.

What could have gone wrong? What shall I do at this stage?

did you use any discount coupon? click on Customer Care/lodge a claim and they will contact you with an explanation.

Looks like I'm not the only one suckered by the hints posted here that left out crucial info. Where's MMS when you need him?:confused:

As mentioned in my post, I did not use any coupon code at all.

I have two more transactions with pending cashback that have yet to be reduced to $0. I will wait a few days to submit the claim.

What else could go wrong?

The same just happened to one of my transactions listed under Oct.01.

I had that happened to orders with transaction dates on Oct 1st and Nov 1st. I don't know if there is a pattern there or not, but I probably won't place orders on Dec 1st next month. I went back to Sept and didn't have that issue.

Keep in mind that the TCB-assigned date may be different from the actual order date. If you decide to file a claim, the system will show the exact time/date of the linked order.

Just got my orders cancelled for the first time - I guess the consensus is just to wait a little while and try again? I made a new account real quick with same CC (probably should have changed this...) on different IP and that ordered got canceled too. How long do you guys usually wait before re-ordering?
