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.

Went from pending to reversed. I received an email saying I earned x amount in cashback, but it was half as much as I was expecting. And it said the status of one of my cashback transactions was "reversed." I put in an inquiry for it.

Started placing orders 2 weeks ago under P2 and had 4 orders approved, each for 2k+fees. Every other day or so. Now GC .com is canceling all of my orders. Chase sees no issues on their end. I've tried using my own account (same billing addy but different card (in my name), email, phone, etc.). Neither myself nor P2 ever got a verification call. All orders are canceled almost immediately now, except I have my first one stuck on "Processing..." from last week... Even P2's new orders are canceled. Chat reps are useless and their "tips" clearly don't work at all and refuse to investigate... Anyone know if I have any other option besides just not ordering from them anymore?

Just wonder what the benefits are with starting a new Flyer ID? weather3369 seems an expert, but just a new ID. I'm still new to this. Good to hide the history and identity? Just curious....

Quick question here regarding using GC.com Mastercard GC to buy money order, I was buying a money order as usual at my local grocery store. Somehow their money order machine got stuck while printing. The cashier couldn't figure it out and issued me a refund, ie by asking me to swiping cards again. I thought the money would go back to my card immediately. However, I just checked the balance of my card after I came back and it was 0. Does it take several days for the money to be back to card? Anyone else have any experience regarding money order refund? I don't know if I should go to the store tomorrow. I do have the receipt showing the refund.

I'm familiar with GCM bans w/o rhyme or reason, but not GCC so what you can do for now is lay low for up to 3 months or longer before you order again. Other than that, I knew it didn't help to call GCM then so it'll be the same with GCC.

no particular reason on why people get banned. I was band a few years ago. speaking with the reps gets you no where. Simon mall is much easier to deal with if you one in your area.

I've made 5 orders to Giftcards.com through the Yazing portal. The clicks showed up on the Yazing dashboard but the transactions are nowhere to be found. Is this typical? Does it take a long time? It's been over two weeks and I've also submitted a missing transaction ticket but no response in the last week.
