FWIW, e-supercertificate orders are broken on the gc.com website... When you go to personalize the e-supercertificate, you get tons of errors as if the form is blank...
They need to hire a new IT staff there...

I'd suggest that if you don't like the fee then don't pay it, encourage others to not pay it and let them know how much business they are not getting. In the case where you feel that you still need to pay it and the coupons are worth it, then you can see why they are charging the $2.

Well, for the past few days, the e-delivery/service charge for $500 and $1000 e-supercertificates has been $4.45 and $4.95 respectively... ... is going on? It used to be $0.95... Then $2.00, now almost $5?!?!?

the redemption of SuperCertificate into merchant GCs is still fee and shipping free if using standard USPS - did one this morning for a BB&B GC.
Sounds like if they persist with the higher fees, in order to minimize the fees buy one $500 SuperCertificate ($1 fee plus $1 email fee
) and then slowly redeem for merhcant GCs in whatever denomination you need at a time.

1. buy 10 e-supercertificates totalling 10K and pay the digital delivery fee (49.5 dollars) through AA e-shopping with mastercard and get 40K AA miles. (2 miles per dollar, but double with mastercard)
2. Order 100 cards of $100 mastercard giftcard. No fee here.
3. Use the 100 mastercards to pay for the 10K tuition.
At the end? 40K miles for 49.5 dollars!
what's wrong here?
thanks for pointing out weak mind.

It's a pity that I didn't know about gc.com. I was thinking of the following, but given that it sounds too good, I guess something wrong with my logic. Please point out.
