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.

Pretty sure they're going to be applied the exact same way as the 60k limit was applied. Except now at a 30k cap.

so at GCcom you can do as many orders as you’d like, but the different portals only pay out up to $30k each? Like I could do $30k to Yz and $30k to SBC on the same GCcom account or will GCcom shut me down at $30k?

Are the cashback portal limits monthly or annual? I can't see how gc.com would allow up to 720K sales to count toward cashback. Anyone have prior data points?

Limits didn't even exist until last Christmas, so it hasn't even been a year. Prior to that, limit was effectively $1.8MM. The 60k bump only lasted 2 or so months iirc.

Has anyone been denied due to hitting the limit? I haven't seen a single data point.

What MC did you order to get 2%?

Also, did anyone catch this?

VISA gift cards are not eligible for cashback. MasterCard purchases will still earn cashback

Even though TCB clearly shows VGC at .75% CB.
