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.

How do you know it actually shipped? Don't they only put an est shipping date? Living near the fulfillment center I have received my cards the same day as the est shipping date so I've never gone off that date before. I have orders as far back as the 11th that were expected to ship on the 17th that have yet to arrive. And I typically receive my orders 4 business days from order date.

No more 500 available at the moment. That might be the reason your order got cancelled.

I'm sure the pipeline got fixed and all our delayed orders were sent out on or around 24th. It takes about a week or more for them to arrive so expect them next week, also factor 1 extra day for Memorial day.
Questions are: Will these orders auto-track with TCB? If not and if not and we file a claim with TCB, at what % will they track?
At this point I am not too hopeful they will auto report on TCB, unless TCB & GCM are proactively doing something manually to push the cashback through. If they don't show up on TCB in a couple of business days they probably won't and we'd have to file claims with TCB.

Edit: I meant the free shipping orders, which don't offer tracking.

Registering Card
Anyone know why my Amazon orders are getting declined? I registered my card at https://registration.mygift.giftcardmall.com and it came up with 500 server error. I called in and they said I had it registered under my name and everything correctly, so I don't understand why I can't purchase anything. Anyone know what's going on?

In the latter case, this may not be the best forum to help you.
