I know this is normally talked about on the fiveback forum - but there doesn't seem to be any options left to convert these puppies (or maybe a very obscure long path to getting the cashback out) - are you just liquidating them like a normal GC?

Yes, just ignore the FB feature, it's useless.

I had the pleasure of having my order rejected (same amount, and same credit card from two weeks ago when they went on sale) by GCM, while the charge went pending on my cc and is eating up the credit limit which will not fall off for 2-3 business days. Ughh. Do pending orders that will obviously get dropped count against your $14k monthly total?

I hope not.

My orders didn't go through last week and used up my credit limit too!

Hopefully this time around, they go through, at least it's in pending status.

I am thinking they are out of five backs, I will be curious to see if anyone can get to the pending stage past 10:15PM eastern. I tried another card and it also ate up the credit limit on that one too, no worries on either of those issues. I have never had a GCM order get rejected due to GCM, not that I ever exceed the $14k rolling monthly limit or placed large individual orders. I'll obviously tap the GCM brakes for the next few weeks, hope it's simply an issue with GCM and not my account. Obviously GCM customer service is clueless and they have no way to answer your questions unless you have a confirmation # which would mean your order was at least pending; this issue is discussed periodically on this thread but wanted to offer it again for others who may find themselves in my position and thinking about calling in and wasting their time.

Can't get it to go through... oh well, was worth a shot... Won't even let me order it.

placed big 5B order yesterday with shipping on 22nd and same one today with shipping on 21st. GCM is weird.

Just put my toe in the water for GCM...I want to thank everyone for 97 fascinating pages of insights, tips, and hints!

5B orders still going through right now

Travelz Dec 19, 2017 11:38 pm

We got 3 5b orders to go through Monday, but none since then.

OssianBlue Dec 20, 2017 6:17 am

2x 5b tracked at 2.

Mamibear Dec 20, 2017 6:54 am

Ten 5Bs bought on the 18th tracked today :)

btw, bonus for cashing out via AGC has increased to 5% from regular 3% and valid until 12/29 IIRC.

lucky you, 6k wouldn't go last week, so I went conservative this week, 2k on 3 accounts.

Mamibear Dec 20, 2017 8:59 am

for those who want to try their luck, the 3% off on FBs is still on 30 minutes ago when I checked it. Deal was suppose to expire last night but maybe there's still plenty of these FBs they're trying to get rid of.

yeah, I can get rid of them if they'll let my orders go through. 2k went through on one, but 3k didn't go through
