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.

I called my mall today and they said they haven't heard of the promo but will ask the manager tomorrow.

It should be said that for the last promo ($1 off Visas) they didn't know about it when I bought on the first day. They called to the manager who confirmed it and came up with the memo on how to process the transaction. So, they may hold it close to the vest until it goes live?!?!

For gamers only? LOL, like they won't even allow normal people to buy them?

Guess so? Just what I was told. Remember, businesses can buy $1k cards, not "normal" people.

I'm 80 miles away from my closest SM. As luck would have it, I have to take the kiddo out tomorrow to visit some other family and will be less than 10 miles from that same SM, plus go back to pick her up on Monday. Guess where else I'll be going during those trips...

Yes. I walked up and asked if I can now get $1,000 cards and CSR said that is what she was told so "we'll see". Everything worked as expected.
