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.

When I log off BofA, I see the offer to GCM from BofA. So my question is that, does it make any difference if you buy $2k or $20k GCs from the partner BofA trying to promote? Will BofA complain you buy too much and shut you down?

GCM usually takes 90 days before payment with most portals. Check your dashboard to see when it will be paid. Befrugal pays in 60 days, so I am sticking with them.

Main thing I like about Yz is I don't have to cashout manually ~ when payment is due, it goes straight to pPal.

So I asked "Extrabux" who is owned by Ebates (who pays 1% on GCM on VDCGs) if they do pay out on VDGCs and I was told"
"Elisa Li replied:
"Elisa Li replied:
About the visa gift cards, we are not sure whether you can get cash back. Only when they pay us commission, can we give your cash back. For more accurate information, you can contact merchant directly."
The reason this matters is that with "Cashback Boost Card" we can earn 1.3% vs standard 1%.
Does anyone know if these flakes pay out anything on VDGCs via GCM?
PS thanks in advance and for not simply cut-N-paste T&C vs real life test!

A perfect score of 1.0 out of 10 is rather rare.
I'm guessing that their payouts at 1.3% would be the same as at 1.0%.
