Giftcards.com will Stop Paying Out via Shopping Portals Beginning in May

Shopping portal Yazing announced on Twitter that Giftcards.com will no longer offer cash back on Visa gift cards starting May 1, 2018. Mastercard gift cards should continue to earn for now.

Topcashback also notes clearly on their site that cash back on Visa’s will end in 6 days. It’s unlikely this change will only affect these two portals – it will presumably be the same for all portals who offer cash back at giftcards.

Depending how you liquidate, Mastercard gift cards might be just as good as Visa. Not long ago, giftcards.com limited portal rewards to $30k per month, and now they are eliminating Visa entirely. Clearly things are tightening on this front.

This is bad. =(
Can I use Master debit gift cards(instead of Visa debit gift card) at Walmart to load my Gobank and Bluebird?

Hey Chuck, I re-read the post that mentioned that Mastercard from giftcards.com were switching to Metabank. So far I have had good luck with the “cancel” button with the USB Mastercards… What’s wrong with the Meta Mastercards? Do they work at walmart like the USB? Or is it something to do with the post office? I never go there anyway.

Thanks

Do you guys think that Ebates is no longer gonna work either? I get 1% on VGC on gift cards dot com just like TCB

I bought VGC on GC with Yazing and TCB yesterday Today both emailed me that GC somehow already stopped giving cash back from yesterday. Their web sites still show cashback. Will contest this

“And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.”

GC.com and office supply fee-free deals were my go-to methods to meet MSR. And with regards to whether GCM or our remaining options will remain viable: “The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.”

This is why I sort of winded down my Serve reloading as my main MS method. Sure, I can still use MCGCs, but I can see the writing on the wall, so I found alternate methods that, for the moment, are entirely viable.

What was the benefit of GiftCards.com over GiftCardMall? GCM has lower fees. Is it for the guys who want portal payouts on $60k/mo instead of $30k?

Plenty of people who have been mysteriously banned by GCM where GC.com still works fine. Also GC.com has no problems sending to non-billing address.

Interesting. I’ve had no problems with GCM so the higher fees at GC have kept me from considering them. Thanks for the info.

How much are you running GCM each month?

I’m at 3 x 9500 so far this month. I generally don’t bother for less than 19 cards @ 500 unless I have a specific card I want some spending on.

I think I’ve gone through about 90k in the past year.

Are you trying to contact someone directly (me? Will? someone else?) or are you suggesting some info shouldn’t be posted on a public forum?

Feel free to send me a note on my gmail account if I’m the target of your questions – dndnd2013. It’s not connected to anything else so it’s not like I’m giving up any personal info. 🙂
