Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Giftcards.com is currently offering free shipping on Visa gift cards through 7/8/15 when you use the code INDEPENDENCE. The code only works for the purchase of up to $1,500 in gift cards, since purchasing more requires a method of shipping which isn’t free.
While the $1.99 shipping fee is waived, the $4.95 per card fee still applies. This means the total cost for a $500 card is $504.95.
Giftcards.com uses Visa cards issued by Bancorp. These cards work well to load REDbird, but do not work well at Walmart to load Bluebird or Serve.
Note: You cannot use Amex gift cards to purchase these gift cards, but all normal credit cards should work.

Is it really that hard to buy a visa gift card online?
Tried buying a $500 visa gift card from giftcardmall and got decline then I tried giftcardlab and also got decline with no damn reason what so ever except for the same auto message:
The order placed through Giftcardlab.com, has been cancelled. Unfortunately the order was not approved by our security screening process, and as a result, the gift card will not be shipped. No funds were collected from your credit or debit card for this order.
We consider online security, which protects both our customers as well as our company, to be a top priority. Our goal is to make our customers smile, which is why we are so sorry to have disappointed you!
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience,
I haven’t been able to buy from GiftCardMall.com in a long time either, but GiftCards.com has been fine. Start at TopCashBack to get 1.5% cash back and click through to GiftCards.com.
So I realize there are no certainties, but as a general rule can anybody speak to max quantities and max orders?
I’d like to get $10k of these gift cards, which would go on my Redbird. However, factors at play:
– $1,500 limit on free shipping
– $2,500 limit on each order
– Everybody above has mentioned if your account gets frozen you’re permanently screwed
Anybody have experience with multiple orders? Same day? Wait a day in-between? Max amount each day, etc? Thanks in advance for any responses.
Does the free shipping code invalidate any cash back options?
There are no cashback portal options that I am aware of.
I can’t even placed the order. Their security is too strict. Keep getting error “The address provided does not match the billing address of cardholder.” Even though I’ve verified multiple times I’m typing the correct address and it’s the same address in my CC account. I went and checked and even cold CC customer service
Strange, my first order ever with them and my order was cancelled also for three $500 cards.
Email stated:
The order was unfortunately not approved by our security screening process, and as a result, the gift card will not be shipped. No funds were collected from your credit or debit card for this order.
Same here. Not able to purchase anything from them. Three orders cancelled so far. I do wonder if it’s because of their automatic zip code recognition, as my city is different from the one they auto-select? And there is no option to change that…
Their customer service was not useful and could not tell me why it was cancelled. Something about their compliance department, which you can’t reach either, and even if you could, they wouldn’t know either lol
Oops. I was looking at giftcardmall not giftcards.com.
Sorry. Just left a comment above before seeing this one. Glad you found the right site.
Where do I find the $500 Visa gift cards? I only see $10 – 250.
Are you sure that you are not on Gift Card Mall. Here is a direct link to the Visas. Max denomination should be $500. http://www.giftcards.com/designs-by-our-artists?brand=visa
Can I buy these giftcards with an AMEX credit card (not GC)?
Yes they do accept Amex credit cards.
Funny I can only load up to $250.
I placed an order this morning and it was cancelled in an hour with the following message
Invoice # xxxxxx, placed through GiftCards.com, has been cancelled. The order was unfortunately not approved by our security screening process, and as a result, the gift card will not be shipped. No funds were collected from your credit or debit card for this order.
We consider online security, which protects both our customers as well as our company, to be a top priority.
I hope you used a dummy purchase account because in my experience, getting this error message means your account will now be locked for life. giftcards.com has the most ridiculous security policies I’ve ever seen. Once you’ve been locked, you can never get it unlocked.
I’m even a bulk seller with Saveya (sister company of giftcards.com) and even my bulk seller rep at Saveya couldn’t do anything about my locked account with giftcards.com.
I hope you’re not locked, but if you are, just make another account with another email.

Does this earn 5x chase ink?
No. Just 1X. More useful for meeting minimum spend.
Also you cannot buy these with an Amex GC from what I’ve read.
Great point and correct. I have added that into the post.
