Signing up to buy $1000 visa/mc gift cards
You can buy the $1000 cards on Simon's volume site. Their regular site only sells $500 cards.
If you're new, or haven't bought anything in a year, you need to register at https://www.simon.com/volume/register-consumer
As part of the registration process, you will have to go to a brick and mortar mall and buy at least $3000 in cards in person, as well as filling out some paperwork while there. After that, you can do everything online.

As of Nov 2020, Simon Mall Gift cards will only work for $99/swipe for money services at Walmart and many grocery chains.

$1000 gift cards are available indefinitely.

What do purchases at Simon Malls come up as on your statement? Want to finish up MSR on a Citi AA Biz (has been all organic spend for about a month now), and I have at least 3 malls within driving distance.

I have had miserable experiences with my Citi AA Exec card. Each time I tried to use it at SM it was declined for any VGC purchase. I then had to go and call in to get it unblocked which they did without issue, but I was not able to use it again since SM has a 24 hour block on any card that has been declined.

At first, I thought that it was due to the amount that I was charging, but I kept reducing that number until I realized that it wasn't the amount. I tried proactively calling into Citi and letting them know that I was about to purchase some GCs from SM and they said I was good and the purchase was still declined

I finally gave up. I think that Citi just has some sort of hard on against SM (at least with my card). Bummer. (and yet, no issues at OM buying VGCs )

So your DP was premature? SM online and in person appears to be dead for transactions on and after 2/26

Will Simon Mall purchases work for the new Marriott Bonvoy spending bonuses? Any DPs?

Have you seen a DP regarding an in-mall purchase post 2/26 coding as 1x or is this just an assumption based on online DPs? I may go test it out tomorrow since I have a SM about 45 mins away, but if there's any hard evidence of it coding the same way I'll save myself the trip.

I guess it's a case of Citi being Citi, but I've read they could care less how much you spend online, but as poster below states, in person purchases often get declined.
