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.

TCB was tracking 2% for me for almost a week until Sep 15th. On September 15th, I got my first order tracked at 2% as usual. Then I went ahead and ordered the second one. However, it didn't track at all. Today, I made two more orders using the exact method I used before. Still nothing tracked. I couldn't figure out what's in play here. I've been using the same computer, same IP, same browser and same accounts. It's just so weird that TCB stops tracking orders for me.

All it says is "The maximum amount of cash back you can earn is based on a capped transaction amount of $60,000. If you make a purchase above this amount, you will not be eligible for additional cash back on top of this."
This states pretty clearly a limit of 60K per transaction!! And its very different language from "If an individual consumer spends more than $30K in a month, the additional purchase amounts will be declined for cash back.", which is the language for GCM. So please stop it with the 60K nonsense!

Where on earth does this 60K limit come from?

I had the same experience on 9/16. The first order tracked at the current improved rate, and second one hasn't tracked at all. I'm below 30k for TCB this month, and have had 7/8 orders track successfully in the past week or so. When placing the second order on 9/16, however, after clicking through TCB portal and logging in to GC, there was a list on the screen of 10 green checkmarks and text that my pin had been changed successfully in individual boxes. Obviously a website error. In retrospect, I should have logged out and tried again later. I plan to wait and then contact TCB for missing tracking if it doesn't show up. Planning to try again.

I hadn't had any TCB orders track since 9/10. I have the same routine for placing the orders as I've done for awhile. As a test, I did leave the completed order window open for roughly 10 minutes before closing it. I did place the second order right after, so that might be why, but it is odd that it would just stop all of a sudden when my flow has been the same and it had tracked numerous times previously
