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 called my local PO where my mails come in. I got to know the delivery supervisor who takes care of all daily incoming mails. I am just fortunate that two DS I've dealt with are very friendly. I have made arrangements with the current DS that when there are packages from BHN, she holds them for pick up whether I call or not. Previously, I'd call her before 7 am to tell her my packages are at the PO so she can hold it there for pick up; lately, she already knows that packages with my name and address coming from BHN is for pick up at PO so I don't have to call.
Try calling the delivery supervisor of your local PO and if you have the tracking number of your package, tell him/her you want a HOLD FOR PICK UP. You can find the number of your local PO via google, that's how I found mine.
Good luck!

I was really hoping to pick it up so I can drain and leave out of town earlier.

Probably due to high utilization of you're total credit line. Try paying off you're balances before the statement cuts. This will reduce the carried balance reported to the credit bureaus.

Do you have multiple GCM accounts? If so, (1) are you blocked from ordering from all of them, and (2) do they all have the same delivery address?

Anyone getting the "There was a problem processing your order. Please try again or feel free to contact us for support." recently?
I processed an order fine a few days ago. Since then I tried a couple of times with two different cards (though on same browser, but deleted the GCM cookies before the second try) and a couple of days between each try and keep getting this. I don't know if it could be a browser thing all of the sudden (have used Firefox with no issues for a while now). There's nothing unusual about the amount, same amounts and same cards I've used for a while with GCM. I'm thinking of giving it a rest for a while I guess trying to not have GCM computers flag my account for multiple failed attempts.
