I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

Microsoft GC is the last resort plan, yeah. I already got the Series X, so I'll just buy some games I guess..

just got off the phone trying to verify some order information so that it would go through.
They asked what address I was shipping to and I gave the BFMR warehouse address.
The agent then said that is a blocked address as they are a reseller who "stalks" the dell website and then "illegally resells on the black market"
lol

To add to the DPs here, Dell has been a rollercoaster for me. When I first started buying from them several months ago, my orders were totally hit or miss - roughly half would go through, half would get cancelled without any discernible pattern. Then about a couple months ago, for no apparent reason all of my orders started going through, and they went through no matter who I sent to (I sent to a variety of groups, but mostly MYS and BFMR). Over the weekend, I did my first Dell orders for The Deal Buyer. The first order went through no problem, but the next three all were cancelled. I tried changing the shipping address slightly as TDB had suggested, but to no avail. Now I'm interested to see what the extent of my cancellations will be going forward. Will I start getting all of my orders cancelled or only those I try to send to TDB? If the former, that would be a big bummer as I seemed to have the magical formula there for a while.

Out of curiosity, has anybody had a credit card shutdown associated with BG purchases? Since they are not GCs, would you get any pushback from the credit card company even if you were to cycle a card, especially if it's a business card? "Reselling" is a legitimate business after all. I would sleep better at night spending my entire credit line on merchandise, than I would be purchasing GCs

Unless you are in a line of work that was illegal or your relationship with the bank tenuous, I could not foresee a reason why they would shut you down. In fact, if your history of business charges was big enough, they may offer you a line of credit outside of a credit card.

1. No damaged products to return
2. No lost items
3. The Buyers group doesn’t deny receiving a product that shows delivered and signed for
4. The deal doesn’t close unexpectedly and you don’t have to deal with return labels.
5. No missing or wrong items sent
I still wouldn’t cycle my CL or I’d be selective about which banks I do it with.

also tax is a killer unless you live in one of the tax free states. I border NH so for the right deal I can do an in store pickup in NH and ship to a BFMR address and still come out ahead.

It's pretty easy to just register as a sales tax licensed business with your respective state and get a sales tax exemption certificate. You don't pay sales tax on items that are intended for resale. This technically is just a resale business that ships all of its merchandise to a customer in a state that does not impose a sales tax, thus there is no tax liability. Look into your local sales tax laws before proceeding though, they vary by state.
