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.

Don't bother with his PM. I sent you a PM with secret info that is even more super than his. Be prepared to bathe in the sea of rewards that awaits you. Just don't share this super secret info with anyone that might abuse it and get it shut down like random strangers on an internet forum...

Got several emails from Chase on Sat. My wife's Southwest Priority card had unusual activity. They approved a couple, denied a couple. None of the transactions they asked about were ours, so on the phone we go to cancel that card/reissue. I've used that card a lot on GCM, however, we also use it for regular spend so there isn't really any causation here. Possibilities, but no certainty.
I also have a SW card that has been used quite a bit on GCM. Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on it also (not a problem, I monitor all my CCs quite closely).

I spoke to GCM about the issue last night and they were seemingly unaware of an issue...they opened a support ticket..not sure what that will do.
I will add that they appeared to take my call seriously.
