This is the thread for 2018. The previous discussion can be found here.
Giftcards.com (and giftcardmall) now limit Visa loads to $250. No more $500 cards, Change happened sometime in 2020.
Check cash back portals to help cover the fees. Around the holidays there is usually free shipping. http://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/giftcards.com/
Limit 5k/ every 48 hours (2 orders under 2.5k including the fees). However, system will reportedly "error out" if more than two orders are attempted within two days.
Cards must be activated before use. Orders usually arrive in 5-7 days.
Select the free letter on the left instead of paying for a card on the right of the screen to save money.
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have them reissued.

The limit was only an issue for me when I disputed transactions that don't track. They would say that I was over the limit but eventually the points would post. I stopped disputing, realizing that GCC is is sometimes slow with some portals. Portals that pay out quarterly like rakuten, I never have an issue with postings or exceeding limits. With all this said, I won't be able to test new 2k limit. This was my main MS until card shutdown.
