This is the thread for 2018.
The previous discussion from 2016 on this topic can be found here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...thread-77.html
The thread for 2017 is here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manufactured-spending/1825524-giftcardmall-master-thread-2017-a-97.html

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 believe other portals are affected as well, not just ebates.

I mean that cash back has been clawed back from other portals too, such as befrugal.

Can you elaborate? Did you use different CB Portal emails and they somehow linked them to the same people? Or are you talking about GCM email accounts and they clawed back because they knew it was the same person?

I'm super confused the limit is $60,000 per month per ebates account?

Were you guys going over $60,000 per month?

(or u guys saying it is a combined $60,000 total across every single shopping portal out there? )

I went over using 2 portals and some transactions were clawed back on both portals. I used to be able to go over the 60K but not anymore.

I understand you need 2 GCM accounts with different names and addesses to go over 60K.

So can I go over $60k with the ebates cc, if I have different / different addresses?

Anyone know how to get the Rakuten/Ebates credit line to refresh quicker than the usual ~7 days?

What cards has everyone been using at gcm? My Barclay arrival has a lot of redundant transactions that make me nervous about potential issues with cc bank.

Tread lightly with Barclays and do not recycle your credit limit. I learned the hard way.

IME it has been the opposite, but I've seen reports claiming they are more sensitive to some cards than others.

They let me hit the card hard for two years, and then right after my third-year renewal, canceled all of my Barclay cards. There was no notice at all.
