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 made a claim yesterday (after placing a new order) because I was missing my CB from my last week order, today I got an email regarding the new order (from yesterday) and the CB from last week appeared on my account.

A few posts have been removed because of asking for referrals to other cash back sites. Flyertalk does not allow referral requests except in a very few forums that explicitly allow it (I'm sorry if you don't like this rule, but please don't shoot the messenger!)

DP for Le$ (LeMNY?) GCM payout. I was very hesitant to try them - but I finally received my first payout through them for GCM. They have a 4 month payout $25 minimum via paypal but no hitches on redemption after a short verification process which I thought was interesting... required a phone number for a one-time confirmation text (I think to cut down on people with multiple accounts). I am trying to run 4 accounts for in my and my familiy members names (and so far so good - just need 4 unique telephone numbers) to get 4 TRBO CB a month on my orders. Also confirmed that LeMNY tracks the same CB % as TCB tracks in addition to the TRBO CB offers (currently 7% on first $140) which I use to cover shipping fees on large orders. In my experience they take 2-3 days to track, but are getting better.

Just had my first issue trying to place a GCM order. "There was a problem processing your order. Please try again or feel free to contact us for support." Tried a different browser and then my phone but no luck.
I've done $16k over the last 3 months but ramped up a bit the last couple of weeks. Is the move here to just give it a couple of days and try again?

Hey guys, I am new to MS. I would appreciate if someone could help me. I see a lot of people buy VGCs from giftcardmall and not so many from giftcards.com. Could someone tell me what the reason for this is? The cards are the same, aren't they? Is it because of the fees?
Thanks!
Thanks!
