I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.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

- EMB - embdeals.com same as above - a great one as well. alerts via whatsapp. payments can be requested same day and will arrive same day. lots of offers last amazon prime.

I have read that Amazon may cancel bg orders on accounts that do vgc reloads. I'm trying to use Amz and bg's to unload vgc's. If I reload my Amz account with an Amz gc bought elsewhere, does that risk cancellation as well? If not, I need to find a store that will take vgc's to buy gc's.

How do you request payment from USA Buying Group?
I just joined them few weeks ago after reading about them here, they received 3 of my packages and Dashboard shows $251.97 TOTAL PENDING PAYMENT (UNPAID). How exactly do I request a check? I couldn't find any option for that on the site, unlike MYS/PM which were very easy.
Someone help me find it please, thanks.
