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.

Per TCB, you have to wait 7 days before you file a claim. My first untracked one will have the 7 day "anniversary" tomorrow, I'll file mine then.

Is that a new thing? The one and only time I used Yazing with GCM was in February, and I'm still waiting for the cashback.

I'll wait a few days before filing with TCB in hopes that it gets auto-corrected. For me, not spending extra time to file TCB claims > getting the cashback a few days earlier.

I don't buy AGCs but I don't see how they're comparable with VGCs being that they involve more work & fees to liquidate. Or am I missing something?

Venmo codes AGC as debit. No fees to liquidate, nor gas or travel time to acquire/liquidate.

I'd been using Yazing for the last couples of weeks with GCM without issues; however the last 3 orders that I placed last week with the GCM using Yazing have not been tracking
upon reading of similar issues with the TCB in this forum, I will open a ticket with Yazing today and I will report back...

I see, thanks. Haven't gotten into Venmo yet. I know it's off topic here but what kind of monthly volume seems to be OK as far as not triggering flags?

There is a limit to number of new cards you can add, I think its something really small like 6 every 6-12 months

Well I think we can safely say it's a GCM issue, and not each individual portal.

OK thanks. I meant monthly $ volume per Venmo account seems safe. It seems some people float ok and others get shut down, esp for using two Venmo accounts and sending money back & forth to themselves (which it'd make sense there'd be flags in place for that).

Wrong thread, plus there's better promo codes out there so don't use this one.

venmo is def not worth the effort; it will quickly shut down & possibly hold $ for a while; unless something would change for the better, no intention to mess with it...it's like Gwallet, but G quickly put the fund back to the card

That's what I had come across but hadn't looked into it so figured I'd ask in case that wasn't the case. I suppose it has its value for people that can't easily liquidate VGCs (I am not one of them) and have to meet minimum spend via MS somehow.
