Giftcardmall (and giftcards.com) now limit Visa loads to $250. No more $500 cards, Change happened sometime in 2020.
What portal is currently offering the highest payout for GCM?
Check cashbackmonitor and cashbackholic for current payouts. Be sure to review the T&C for GCM at each portal as some offer lower payouts for Visa GCs.
Amex gift cards cannot be used to buy Visa gift cards
VGC issued by metabank. Cards come activated.
-------------------------
Monthly Limit is 30K per GCM account for a revolving 30 days. Once you hit 15K, GCM will display a message on the screen letting you know you hit the limit.
Start out slow 1k and then another 1k - they will call to verify the card, and shipping address. Next order they will not call. Orders under 2k have free shipping.
If you get this error:
This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly, or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections.
- A Few people report it is blocked for the day, try again the next day. MOST ppl report being permanently blocked. Or you entered a wrong 3-digit security number.
GCM recommends using the Chrome or Firefox browsers. Be sure you are not using an ad blocker and not disabling any cookie settings (3rd party, tracking, etc.) from the default or you may get this error.
Direct support Numbers is 877.426.2551
Warning: Orders can be lost or stolen. Call to have the cards reissued or canceled. Orders usually arrive in 5-10 days.
Check your cc for pending or posted payments and call about your order if you are concerned it is taking a long time for delivery. Sometimes GCM was taking up to 2 weeks for delivery.

I got an order yesterday that had identical cards to ones I got a week earlier. At first I was excited maybe I got the order filled twice, but then realized all the card #s were the same.

Same thing happened to me except it was from GC. I wonder if they all use the same vendor to print the cards...

I placed an order that day. It arrived later than usual (an order placed on 3/17 arrived before it), but I attributed that more to my slow mail service than anything. Other than the delay, there was nothing else unusual about it. I have 4 orders in transit and no inventory in stock, so it's BAU for me. But certainly sounds like there was some kind of glitch that day, but it wasn't 100%.

Oh well, it's back to normal now.

So ive searched the threads here and ive searched online but i cant find the anaswer
is there any issue buying VGC at GCM using Capital one? its giving me an error where it wont let me purchase using Capital one because "they require more information"
I used to use GCM before they killed the portals the first time so ive had success buying GCs before
Anyone had this issue before?

Did you try a big $ amount purchase? Maybe start out with a few orders of 1 $500 VGC to season the card and then you can ramp up from there.

Can't find an answer to this question anywhere, but does anyone know if you can place multiple $1500 orders in a day? I know you can get up to $10k, but I didn't know if they looked down on multiple 1500 orders at once.
