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

I have three orders from 9/14, 9/15 and 9/16 that have not come in. However I received one gift card out of four from my order on 9/20. How weird is that? I called and "they said" I should get them all by 10/1. I'm not from Missouri, but "show me" and I'll believe. I think they are having processing problems in the warehouse.

Same here. Plastiq seems safe. When I looked at my AmEx statements, it clearly says how many gift cards and the amount I purchased. Scary stuff. AmEx has solid ground to deny you the bonus right there.

Hi, I ordered 4 (500x3+ 475X1). The order shipped,and I only received the 500X3. I check my order, and I am not sure if they were shipped separately. This is the first time I order more than 3 cards from them. Does anyone has similar experience?
Thanks
Thanks

Typically they all come together in one envelope. I have a 4 card order where 1 card (the odd one) arrived on Saturday but not the other cards. First time it has happened to me, hopefully the other 3 cards arrive in the next day or two...
