If someone knew the answer and was willing to share it, they would have done so. Meta clearly doesn't like their cards being used for MOs and has taken these steps at a number of stores so you can probably assume the limit is indefinite. Best way to know is to take the chance and let us know.

As far as I know, for a few years, USPS has not accepted gift cards as a form of payment.

I haven't verified in person, but Simon is now advertising gift cards from Sutton Bank. You can check your local mall for this promotion before dropping by if you want to test it out: https://www.simon.com/mall/square-on...-style-6204714

Does Square One have a folder labeled "gamers" too? lol I remember Emerald Square in Attleboro had one back when they were a Simon that had all the volume buyers paperwork in it. Always got a good chuckle out of it.

Gamers is the term Simon uses to refer to MS-ers.
For the $3 off cards, it's the "Style" cards issued by Meta so if that's an option those can be had up to $500 for 95c fee. It's $2 off (ie $1.95 fee for $500 card) issued by Sutton - those are "Style" cards but have a Plaid design and say issued by Sutton Bank on the back. None of the $1k cards are discounted.

Apparently not. I haven't visually seen the back of the 'Plaids', but they're listed as InComm:

50% off all fees from August 17-20, 2022 when ordering Visa and Mastercard Simon gift cards online.
Use promo code AUG22FLASH50 when ordering at simon.com/volume.
~
BTW, are these promo codes only for the volume side, or will they work on the consumer side as well, or does the consumer side have its own promo codes? My BIL lives too far away from any Simon Malls to do the initial in-person volume purchase.
