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.

How did you bypass the 5K / 48 limit?

If what you portray is true, i'm sure your habits contribute to the decline of certain avenues.

Could be two players, 21 days of ordering at $2.5k, and no cash out yet... That would get you to $105,000 during the 2% window. That being said, I don't know why you would order that much if you weren't liquidating as orders came in.

Are you guys still ordering from giftcard.com? Right now it only gives 1.25% or 1%, and I think Giftcardmall might be more profitable considering less fees and free shipping. Plus, cards come activated already and they are visas.

Anyone else not getting emails from gcc? Used to get an email on submission, one once confirmed, and then tracking info once sent. I haven't been getting any of these. No settings have changed, my correct email address is listed on gcc, and I've checked spam folder etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This has started in the last week.
Edit: Changing email address didn't work. This is really bothersome, since I'm not getting USPS tracking info. Also, need order email for missing portal tracking. Even resending to a new email address doesn't work.

I got emails on Monday and today, but I am having trouble submitting. The order today were created, but it did not submit all the way. I get this message for over 3 minutes:
Submitting Order ...
Order submission can take up to a minute. Please don't close this window or navigate away until this process is complete.
Update: Even though the orders did not submit all the way, they are confirmed now.

Thanks, that gets me the tracking info. Odd that it just stopped emailing though. Already have Informed delivery, but that just let's me know the day it's arriving, not when it has been shipped. Either way, tracking by the order number is a viable workaround for now.
