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.

At current, it is simply buying UA or AA at a rate of 1.25cpp. Don't overcomplicate things. If you're a buyer at that price, it's now available for you. Everyone has a different situation and there is no one size fits all choice. However, I don't think anyone would argue that it's a bad rate.

any glitches today for gc.com? I purchased one card using miles portal, after I pressed "submit" order I was redirected to the main page. The card was still in the cart, but order was processed. Usually it means, portal will not track it.
