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.

A long time ago, it was reported that US Bank cards often coded as cash advance and then somehow the transaction posted as a purchase. Wasn't sure if that is current.

Is anybody not getting paid from TCB after mid July? I have a transaction from 7/20 that still not payable, neither the one from 8/3 and 8/10. Still showing in my account as pending but I never had a problem before where I usually it became available after 8 weeks.

One of my orders took 3.5 weeks to arrive. Should have waited but instead I called for refund.

That's my take on the subject. I did see a lot of that going on with everything. I live in Miami, Florida.

Don't worry about it. May take a little longer than the normal 8 weeks. Usually the transactions run in batch. All my transactions from the past have always been at 12 weeks to be payable. As long your transaction goes from pending to confirmed, it is all right at TCB.

does the 15K limit include fees, or is it 15K on card values only?
