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.

I personally don't know the limits, but the wiki seems to contradict this post; it says you can do $5k/day everyday. Is the wiki referring to a former limit, or is it just wrong?

GCcom’s limits are 5k/day, but their system errors if you try to buy again the next day after making $5k in purchases the previous day. So we just say there’s a $5k limit every two days.

Yes. Thanks. But on point talking about Yazing paying the 1.5% on MCDGCs if it is 60k per calendar month or rolling 30 days.

giftcards.com access denied
I kept getting this error message in the browser when I try to access giftcards.
Access to www.giftcards.com was denied
I have only ever sucessfully purchased a $500 master gc a month ago. After my $1500 visa gc was declined and cancelled, I can't even access the site anymore. How can I resolve this?

How can I resolve this?I don't know what I did to get IP banned but I'm able to order at decent volume to the same address, account and credit card but just from a different IP.

How can I resolve this?i couldn't access the website until I got another network problem on my computer and I took it to my school IT. They rebooted my computer a few times and reset DNS and then everything started working.

Just received an email from YZ that my first two cash back transactions of May have been reversed. Everything else from May is still pending. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: same issue on my friend’s account. Reversed cash back for first two May transactions. Everything else is pending.

Did it go from pending to reversed?
I've kept it under 60k per month, pretty sure it was under 60k rolling.
