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.

Travelling out of the country.
Can't get GC.com to load at all. I get a 403 error.
Tried a VPN (with several endpoints) and a SOCKs proxy. No dice with either.
Changed my DNS to several servers - no change.
Anyone know how to break through and give these good people my money in exchange for some of those sweet, sweet gift cards?

TCB looks like it will continue to payout with GCM. I used to not be able to get any order through GCM, and hadn't tried since '16, but it looks like I am getting an order to be completely processed and not cancelled. So maybe give GCM a shot with a small order and see how it goes, if it works, increase order size to season the account, and stick with that.

No more CB for VGC from Yazing - seems like it has stopped earlier (4/26) than stated on the website (4/30)

As you may know Giftcards.com and GiftCardMall let us know that they were going to reduce commission rates to 0% on Visa Giftcards at the end of the month. We are still looking into exactly what happened, but it appears that our rate for Visa Giftcards was actually changed to 0% sometime during the day yesterday, and many of the orders yesterday came through at 0% commissions. We have sent a message to our contacts there to see if this can be rectified, but at this point I think we need to assume that we are at 0% for Visa’s going forward.Sorry for the bad news.

Yup, I believe the Masters are issued by Meta and work at WM. Is the pin the last 4 digits? I have not ordered the Masters before. Adam at Yazing said it should track at 1.5%. I would think others are already ordering them.
With masters you need to change payment type to debit before they enter the amount and hit enter in the register.
Swipe and hit "Cancel" or "Change Payment" button to select "Debit" on the screen and have them enter amount and then enter the pin.
