Good luck with that, I've been trying to find that out since WM closed this down and the only whiffs I've gotten involve specific geographic areas not local to me. You'll have better luck asking someone for the launch codes the president carries in the nuclear football. But I get it, every time word gets out, people on the internet can't shut up about it and get it shut down.
As the resources become more limited, one should keep an eye on their use, but unfortunately, there are those out there who live in and for the moment, and run the system at max. I am not saying that this is right or wrong, but simply another reason to keep personal local resources to yourself.

Hey all - I'm not currently registered with the Simon gamer program, but am thinking of getting onboard with it. I see on their website that they mention they offer US Bank Mastercard gift cards. Does anyone know what the max value of those cards is? Or failing those, what the largest value MCGC you can get from them is?

Awesome thank you Stosh! To clarify, is that a USBank card, or just a mastercard period?

About to create an online account for the GC program but wanted to confirm, after I create an account I'll need to head to one of the B&M outlets in Bay Area and purchase 3x $1000 Visa cards? Will I need to provide any proof that I'm a business? I'll be using my Chase Ink Business Preferred card.

IIRC, you have to go to a store to confirm your ID. And you are limited to buying $500 max value cards in person. Once confirmed, you can then buy a $1K card via online.

I have no problem buying a $1000 SMGC at their office in the mall. I do them on a routine basis. Since I only do 1 at a time, I don't even need ID

Thank you for interest in the Simon Giftcard Program as your source of Bulk Giftcard purchasing.
Due to recent developments, Simon is now requiring new customers that have not bought from us within the past 12 months to visit a Simon location to make an in-person purchase before we can approve you for online sales. Your account will be temporarily suspended until you have had the opportunity to make the in-person purchase. The Simon location will require you to complete a Consumer Order Form and to show your ID before you can make a purchase. Please let the Mall know you've already created an online profile.
A contactless form of payment is not permitted when completing this required transaction. Your name captured during the chip-read purchase is an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) guideline which requires financial services to make an effort in verifying the identity of the cardholder.
Once you have made a purchase, please let us know so we can verify the transaction and complete the approval process for online sales, a proof of address will also need to be sent to the Simon Home Office, an email will be sent outlining the required item once the on-mall purchase has been made.
Please note that Simon locations will have limited hours for Giftcard sales - typically Monday - Friday during office hours. Properties sell Simon Giftcards from the management office.
Live In-Person Purchase Transaction:
1. Locate a Simon center near you from www.simon.com
2. Select a date and time most convenient for you.
3. We encourage you to CALL FIRST to ensure the property is selling Giftcards (not every Simon location sells Giftcards) and that the center will be open to avoid an unnecessary trip. You should also ask for hours the property will be selling Giftcards and location of the management office. Phone numbers are listed with the mall addresses.
4. Make a minimum purchase of $3K, maximum of $10K, the form of payment must be in your name.
5. Notify us once you have made the transaction to reopen your online account.
Please do not visit a property without calling ahead the day you intend to visit to ensure the property is selling that day and so they can be ready once you arrive.
If you do not live close to a Simon location, we apologize, but we will not be able to approve you for online orders unless you can make a purchase at a Simon property. If you are traveling, please check to see if we have a location in the area where you could stop by to make a purchase. Simon locations are used to assisting customer's that do not live in their geographic area.
We hope that we can meet your Giftcard needs in the future and appreciate your cooperation and understanding with this requirement.
Special Offer:
·No Purchase Fees! Simon will waive all purchase fees (VISA CARDS ONLY) for the required live in-person purchase! Simply show this email. Limit One Transaction Only.
