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 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.

Attention: There is a problem with your Gift Card Mall order
I am trying multiple times with 3 different accounts of mine with orders of VGC for $1500. All get cancelled in a couple of minutes with this email: “Attention: There is a problem with your Gift Card Mall order.”
The funds are immediately refunded to my CC.
Any solution to this? TIA

All my 2k orders have 30 days. At first it is 90 but it changes to 30 days. It's been like that for months now. It's been mentioned here already.
