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.

Not yet for me. My cash back has been pending since 9/5/18, albeit from GCM.com. Does it always take this long? For some reason I was under the impression that they typically are paying out about a month after the tracking.

I still can't get to the completion page for orders using Chrome, but Safari has worked fine. Tracking failed on the incomplete orders, but I was able to submit to Yazing/TCB and get credit, albiet at a different rate than what it was at the time of purchase (some better some worse)

I got a virtual visa debit and used it to make a debit card payment on a CC. Worked great.

If I remember correctly it used to be 2% cash back on eGC but I just checked and it does not seem to be the case anymore. Is that true? How much cashback did you get?

I didn't purchase, but chose that as a redemption option for tcb for the 5% bonus. I previously saw 2% on eGC purchases too, but haven't noticed for a few months. FWIW, the value was greater than $500 too, but I haven't seen a place that sells >$500 evgc that can go through portal (or at all.)

Exactly the same experience today with tcb. Ugh.

So for GCcom through YZ, we have to report missing transactions for every transaction we do? Haven't had a successful track in a few months.

I had the same problem with the orders getting messed up and not tracking. I now use MS Edge browser and everything is back to normal.

Opportunity to earn more than 1 AA mile / dollar spend at gc.com . Spend 100000 with gc.om and fly premium to get 150 k miles. Which is good 1.5 miles / dollar better than other options ( for minority ?)
