Gameflip and Paxful. Did you mean that the GCs from those two websites have issues?
The other challenge is that if any issues arise with the seller or with the shipment, you have no recourse with GCs. With a CC theres various buyer protections. |

Yes. Had my accounts flagged after using giftcards from GameFlip. Amazon wont share much about what was wrong and why, but I'd guess someone bought one or more of the cards they sold me with a stolen CC. Or charged back the purchase after selling it to me. Either way, I stopped using gift cards for buying group purchases.

That really scares me. I would be more careful in the future.

Probably shouldn’t be doing buyer’s clubs if you’re worried about shutdown.

Thanks. But I am now doing MS. Without the buying groups, it is difficult for me to MS.

Not trying to be snarky or a troll, but anyone doing MS and/or BGs needs to be prepared for shutdowns. Banks, CUs, credit cards, PayPal, Amazon, BBY, WM, Target, eBay, fintech companies, and so on. It’s going to happen. You have to decide if it’s worth it. Don’t use avenues that you (or a spouse) cares about.

I just have my very first package with EMB checked in. Requested check and status show as ISSUED but did not see link for download. Do I need to wait until I receive the email?

Tried Buyformeretail, thedealbuyer, pointsmaker in the past year. Found BFMR is the best one. Quick response and payment. Even BFMR did not pay lost packages, but the ratio of missing/lost packages is very low. Thedealbuyer promised to provide refund for packages which were lost but signed by them. The payment may take up to 10 days or longer sometimes. They also asked many proofs for missing packages. The ratio of missing parts is higher than BFMR. Only sent coins and several laptops to pointsmaker and it works well.
