Our Verdict
I can’t see any portals that have this listed as an eligible coupon, so technically you shouldn’t earn cash back on these purchases although it might track. If it doesn’t track, the code is kind of pointless as on a $500 card you’d normally earn 1% cashback anyway. If you’re purchasing in bulk you’d actually be worse off using this code than going through a portal. Keep in mind the $30,000 monthly limits some portals seemed to have introduced as well. If anybody tries it with a portal, keep us updated if it tracks or not.

STAY AWAY from GCM, they lost my order, and still fighting to recover the $1500 worth giftcards that i never got in mail............dispute thru my CC is on, but this company keeps tampering evidence and is providing false proofs to my CC that order was delivered as eGC, when it was clearly physical cards as clearly mentioned on my Order details....
Bottomline, bunch of liars + azzholes =GCM...........all savings you do/gain by ordering will be LOST in 1 wrongly gone transaction..... resulting is loss MUCH MORE
sorry to hear, wonder if filing dispute with cfpb / bbb would help? many folks who r aren't banned & having no issue at gcm are making $ buying vgc after cb payouts
With change in leadership at CFPB, I don't have high expectations like I did in the past they'll be a huge help when dealing with shady practices of merchants and FIs.
So far, I've had good experience with TCB and have cashed more than $2K successfully with more on pending status this year. I prefer to order the ones with shipping and handling charges since they come with tracking from USPS and my orders were delivered as expected.
What’s the best portal to buy a $500 master card gc ?
I tried, only take $5 off from Total purchases (not each card), since their fee is higher $1 each, plus they charge 1.99 for ship one card, and risk not paying out by tcb, I didn't go through the purchase. Due to i can do much better with giftcardmall without the $5 code off.
too bad that still can't buy at gcm; they have banned mine for 2yrs after buying only $3.5k worth in 2 separate times since 2015; such a joke...
different ip address, different CCs, different email, but only the billing address is the same, were still no help. so, believe that their system is banned based on the billing address... anyone was able to get unbanned or any tips on how to get it work on gcm, will much appreciate
$5 off is not worth the risk to get declined cb by portal cos.
$5 off vs 1% cb? I'd take that risk...
nah, for regular ms, ppl usually buy 4 or 5 cards at a time, not just 1
Yeah, I thought it was per card. One per transaction would make me skip it too.
+1. Unless you're desperate to meet spending minimums, I wouldn't risk it
Is it meta?
Yes.
