6% effective profits plus finished whatever MSRs on your cards you have is very good deal.

Called all day Tuesday, and kept getting shunted to general voicemail.

Called again today, at 10 am sharp. First call went directly to someone's voicemail. Second call got picked up, and then I got shunted to a queue where I spent 80 minutes on hold. Person that picked up could not do anything for me.

Don't waste your time.

This time around GCM won't let my orders go through, not even for less than $2K. Probably doesn't help that I tried several cards in one day (some due to banks wanting text confirmation beforehand for larger amount) and calling GCM was no help, first level rep couldn't see my account being blocked/banned. Oh well, will have to let this go, not bothering to create a second account at this point.

did you try waiting for all pending charges to clear first and then use guest checkout with new email address?

I got my first three orders through in the last four days. First one was a 1x test order on the 17th. When the 5B went on sale I waited for it to track to TCB then bought 2x. After this tracked and the 5B sale was still going on I did a 3x order. It just tracked this morning--both tracked at 2. Firefox, same computer, location services on. Brand new CIP card with no other charges. 5B are now out of stock so my temptation to go to a 4x purchase isn't going to get me into trouble.

If an order is cancelled by GCM, does it still count against the $15,000 monthly limit?

do you have your other accounts shipping to different addresses? All of my extra accounts with different names and different CC's (as AU's) got shut down by GCM, the only commonality being the address.

Interestingly, I noticed 5B's don't count towards your 15k limit, I was able to go over with theses GC's. Maybe they're trying to get rid of them so they don't care. Very tempting to buy more while they're still available, but boy wish I knew where the red line is.

same shipping address.

you might be the first to get shutdown with multiple accounts.

how did they decide which one to keep open?

How can you tell your account was shutdown (got email, error while placing order etc.)?

By "all" I meant two extra I created for relatives with their own cc's as AUs. I'm still ok with my original act, maybe because the address on it was the first in the system, who knows, but I can't order from the other two. If I place an order, it goes to pending then cancelled. I wrote them email s asking what is up, nothing back, so I assumed those accounts are effectively shut down. If you don't think that's a shut down and there's a way around it, I'd be happy to hear.

All my accounts were banned for stupid reason. Bank sent me replacement with different CVV but same CC#. When GCM charged the account with new CVV again they iimmediately shutdown all my accounts but only for a week. I had to change CC number to be able to use the card again.

how do you do that? I just got the following email from UPS. Apparently it's the signature that is causing this.

You have a package on the way, but it cannot go to a UPS Access Point™ because of a restriction. We will attempt delivery to your address
I talked with ups over chat and they said this

I'm sorry, your shipper, ARROWEYE SOLUTIONS, has restricted all the options for deliver changes.

There's a small bonus available from TCP before 2017/12/24 ($1x5):

That just happened to me on my last shipment as well. Apparently it is a new thing. I called UPS and told them I won't be home when they try to deliver it, and was told I would have to contact the shipper and ask them to lift the restriction. Lame.

So, here is what I found out. Even if you put a vacation hold during the time that it will be delivered UPS will not honor your vacation hold. They will actually go to your residence, attempt to deliver, and leave a note. They will do this 3 times. I talked with customer service and told them that I would be worried that my home might get robbed since people could easily see I was not home. They said there was nothing they could do based on the shipper description. That's more than just Lame.
