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 a couple GCM orders from March that show $0 pending. I'm pretty sure they tracked correctly when I placed the orders, but have since moved to $0. All my other orders look normal and I'm not even close to the $30k monthy limit. Anyone else having issues with TCB when buying from GCM, or does these issues usually correct closer to payment time? TCB is usually pretty good with missing cashback claims for other merchants, but I've never had to submit one with GCM.

Still getting the same issue, one thing I noticed was that the Card message area is greyed out. I wonder if that is causing it? I am going through BF and have tried signing in and out of my GCM account as well as choosing custom and standard designs.

cleared all cache on Chrome and the order went through. However, cashback portal is yet to track (BF).

Yes, please do explain more. Are you talking about if you use the Ebates Visa? Also, what do you mean by Rakuten taking over Ebates 6 days ago? Haven't they been over Ebates for a while?

It's been atleast a few years since they've offered anything more than 1%. No idea if there was some loophole the OP found...
