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.

yes, me too, it says pending. Same thing has happened the beginning of every new quarter, though. I'm not worried. After a week or two it has fixed itself.

Good to know that it happens at the beginning of every quarter. Will wait a couple weeks so that it can fix itself.

Fullfillment delays
Has anyone else been having fulfillment delays?
My orders from April 1st and April 2nd still have not been shipped out. usually they ship orders within 72 hours.
I called them this morning and they apologized and escalated my case to second level customer service team.
Hopefully it's just a temporary delay.

I would recommend wait and see if other people's orders from Apr 1st or 2nd got fulfilled and shipped out and then order more. Just in case

Update: the 4/01 order arrived with the postmark date 4/06 (2 days prior to notification).
Another email stated that the 4/05 order will be refunded (without explanation). Curiously this order involved a card design that was likewise cancelled twice in the past. Perhaps they just can't print certain color schemes.
