I must be missing something obvious. Just received $1K Incomm/Sutton GC from Simon purchased online (cards begin with 4118-01). The instructions and cards say that a 4-digit PIN gets set on first use. However, when I go to use these things for regular online purchases, sites (e.g., eBay) insist on a 3-digit PIN. How can I set a 4-digit PIN when sites are only allowing 3-digits? If I take these to WM, do PINs matter there?

Simon must give some good vacation time. None of my orders from the 17th onward shipped until the 28th.

I have a few questions for senior users in this thread.
Can I purchase $1000 Simon gift cards with a consumer account online? or should I register for a large volume purchase business account?
If a business account is required, are sole proprietors eligible?
Can you list "employee bonus/incentives" as the intended use of cards for the business account?

Now, paying a Chase Credit Card directly with the MO, that is what I do. So yes, that is my take.

Our local Simon Mall office has $1000 gift cards but they are giving them only to corporate/business accounts. I am not sure if they have been misinformed about this new rule. I got $1000 gift cards from the same office last year without any issues.

Not sure if this is an interesting DP or not, but when I called my local Simon malls to find out who has GCs (about to do my initial purchase to get qualified for online) most places said "we haven't had gift cards for a couple years". Only one mall in my region has them and told me they can load a max of $500 per card.

I've been doing so for 10+ years without a hiccup. I pay my Chase cards from that account too, which a lot of people say is also a no-no. I do have a monthly transfer in to avoid the monthly fee and pretty much all the money goes out by bill pay, not withdrawals, may that helps?
