- Credit for orders submitted without codes will not be permitted
- Must order a minimum of $5,000 to get free shipping
Quick Thoughts
Remember not to purchase with an Amex card because you won’t earn points/cashback/miles and in an ideal world have more than one liquidation option because you don’t want to be left holding a ton of these gift cards with no way to redeem them if your sole liquidation option dies. There are also new liquidation restrictions, so be prepared for that.
This promotion makes the cost per card more reasonable assuming you’re buying a large quantity. For example, if you were to buy 10 Visa Gift Cards and load them with $1,000 each using the discount code, this is how the math would work out in terms of fees:
- 10 x $3.95 = $39.50
- Add $10 processing
Add $17 shipping(note: this is an examples and varies. This was the amount for shipping to me)- Total cost = $66.50
- Total cost after free shipping = $49.50 ($4.95 per $1,000 Visa Gift Card in this example).
This makes the discounted rate $1 more than buying physical cards directly from a Simon Mall. That said, it’s obviously way more convenient, especially for those of us that don’t have a Simon Mall close by. While not the cheapest manufactured spending around, that certainly makes these cards easily profitable or makes for fairly cheap points for those with a use for the Visa Gift Cards.
Particularly with the demise of GiftCards.com and GiftCardMall.com given the monthly caps on portal earnings for those sites and the fact that those sites now sell a max denomination of $250 per gift card, Simon was looking a bit better until recent issues began. There are other options still around for buying Visa and Mastercard gift cards as well, but as noted above make sure you have a couple of backup plans.

Note that the code WELCOME21 is also still valid through April 30th for 50% off fees on one order as well, but if you’ve already used that one, the new 40% off code is a decent alternative.
Update 4/23/21: Promo code FSAPR50 will take 50% off all fees for purchases on 4/23/21 only. Note that I believe the code WELCOME21 is also still valid for 50% off one order as well, but if you have used that one or want to save it for another day before the end of the month, use FSAPR50 for half off fees today.
Update 3/12/21: Promo code FS21SPRING40 will take 40% off all fees for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from March 12-16, 2021. Note that this time, the discount applies to shipping fees. Note that many have experienced difficulty in liquidation in recent months, so this is a less attractive deal than in the past, though it is still relatively easy to come out ahead depending on your liquidation options.
Update 3/4/21: Promo code FS40MAR21 will take 40% off all fees for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from March 4-7, 2021 only. Note that this time, the discount applies to shipping fees. Note that many have experienced difficulty in liquidation in recent months, so this is a less attractive deal than in the past, though it is still relatively easy to come out ahead depending on your liquidation options.
Update 2/16/21: Promo code FS21FEB40 will take 40% off all fees for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program, possibly February 16 & 17, 2021 only. Note that this time, the discount applies to shipping fees. Note that many have experienced difficulty in liquidation in recent months, so this is a less attractive deal than in the past, though it is still relatively easy to come out ahead depending on your liquidation options.
Update 2/8/21: Promo code FS21FEB35 will take 35% off purchase fees for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from February 8-11, 2021. Note that this time, the discount does not apply to shipping fees, which seem to have increased substantially over time. Combined with the difficulty in liquidation these days, this is a less attractive deal than in the past, though it is still relatively easy to come out ahead depending on your liquidation options.
Update 1/18/21: Promo code FS21JAN35 will take 35% off purchase fees for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from January 18-21, 2021. Note that this time, the discount does not apply to shipping fees, which seem to have increased substantially over time. Whereas fees were around $11 for me when Simon began selling cards online, they are now up to $17 for me, which frankly seems totally out of line. Combined with the difficulty in liquidation these days, this is a less attractive deal than in the past, though it is still relatively easy to come out ahead depending on your liquidation options.
Update 12/7/20: Promo code FS20JOY will take 35% off all fees (including shipping). However, I strongly recommend caution here. We’ve previously reported problems that people have had lately liquidating – these are currently not working in most cases for swipes of $100 or more at Walmart and other outlets. Only purchase if you have an alternate plan and a backup plan or two as we continue to monitor developments.
Update 11/16/20: Promo code FS20SAVINGS will take 35% off all fees (including shipping) for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from November 16-18, 2020. However, I strongly recommend caution here. We’ve previously reported problems that people have had lately liquidating – these are currently not working in most cases for swipes of more than $50 at Walmart and other outlets. Only purchase if you have an alternate plan and a backup plan or two as we continue to monitor development
Update 10/26/20: Promo code FS20SCARY is good for 35% off all fees (including shipping) for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from October 26 – 31, 2020. The last time they ran a similar promotion, the code was valid for unlimited use during the promo window and I expect that will be the same this time as well.
Update 11/6/20: Promo code FS20THANKS will take 35% off all fees (including shipping) for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from November 6-8, 2020. That said, I recommend caution here. We’ve previously reported problems that people have had lately liquidating (and we continue to get more reports of the same) and while we reached out to Simon about that we have yet to hear from them regarding this issue.
Update 10/26/20: Promo code FS20SCARY is good for 35% off all fees (including shipping) for purchases online through Simon Mall’s volume ordering program from October 26 – 31, 2020. The last time they ran a similar promotion, the code was valid for unlimited use during the promo window and I expect that will be the same this time as well.
Update 10/12/20: This deal is back, but this time it is good for 30% off all fees (including shipping and handling fees) with code FSOCT20. This makes the net cost per card very reasonable. This code has unlimited use (subject of course to the $25K per day limit on orders with Simon, which includes fees), but it expires 10/14 (valid 3 days only).
Update 8/24/20: This promotion has been extended to 8/31/20 and Simon has added an additional 10 uses of promo code AUG20PR for 15% off all fees (meaning that each customer can use this a max of 20 times).
Update 8/11/20: Simon Mall’s volume gift card site is offering 15% off on all fees (including 15% off the shipping fee) on orders of 5 or more cards with coupon code AUG20PR. While not quite as good as the July promotion, this is nonetheless noteworthy given recent changes in the online landscape.
Update 6/29/20: Simon is offering several promo codes for “July 4th Savings”, including 20% off purchase fees and free ground shipping on orders of 5 or more cards. (expired)//

I emailed with Simon asking when are they going to run another promotion and they responded that they are not allowed to run them with the Sutton cards. I said the $1,000 cards are Meta and can we get $500 Sutton’s online. He said that they don’t have Meta/Pathway anymore and only have Sutton which go up to $1000.
It seems that Simon volume doesn’t sell VISA with $1000 denomination now. Not sure it is a temporary or permanent change. Anyone knows when this change took place?
In happened around August. Call and they can add the $1k option to your account. Please note these are issued by incomm and don’t work at the same places the old ones used to work. For example on IRS tax payments only one processor works directly, one has a workaround and the other doesn’t work at all best I can tell.
Thanks for the information. I tried those card on pay1040 where they work fine. Could you please be more specific about the workaround? It seems we can’t register the card on Simon websites. Thanks!
PayUSA you have to use “checkout with visa” which I seem to remember being a bit of a pain because it links the card to your profile and later you get verification questions about the last 4 digits of cards linked or something like that.
I’ve read for ACI you can schedule a later payment and that will work. Haven’t tried that workaround but it didn’t work out of the box for me.
Thank you! I will try ACI schedule a later payment. Will report the outcome later.
:tada!
ACI “schedule a later payment” worked for me. Thanks!
I haven’t seen it reported anywhere but Simon Mall now has cards issued by Sutton Bank instead of the MetaBank cards.
Where did these promotions go they seem to have basically disappeared
[…] Update 4/12/23: 35% off fees with promo code APR23FLASH35. Hat tip to FM […]
Is anyone else running into a $5K limit, both per day and per order? I could’ve sworn that the limits for both used to be $10K, but I hadn’t placed an online order for nearly three years (I’ve done a few in-person at a mall during that time) so I’m not sure if things have changed or if my account has additional restrictions.
What cards do you suggest buying these gift cards from?
Total cost after free processing and shipping fees = $43.23 ($43.23 per $1,000 Visa Gift Card in this example).
Correction: $4.23 per card.
Wonder what sales will be like with these new limitations on these cards.
What can these be used for now, $99 a swipe?
It varies, but much more cumbersome to liquidate.
Can you use Simon Mastercard gift card on Plastiq to pay mortgage or car loan?
not able to purchase any money orders from jewel-osco in midwest. neither using simon gc or mastercards/visa from staples. AH!
I use gift cards as debit cards to pay my estimated taxes. Is this option still viable for the Simon visa gift cards without any problems? Thank you in advance for answering my question and happy travels!!!
Yes works fine for the most part. I use them for quarterly payments but sometimes run into problems with Pay USA saying the zip code does not match (though it should). So only able to use 4 cards the last quarter.
Free shipping and process: MAR23SHIP100
Please be extra cautious when buying this. Kroger’s / Fred Meyer is no longer working in NW (Portland-Seattle area). Now failing under $500 (single MO for 498, single swipe with a fresh card). Liquidate as soon as possible if you can… R.I.P. MS with Simon VGCs.
Same boat…falied for 495, 490 and 489…this is toast. Wonder why the f pathway/meta got so pissed with simon quite suddenly on valentine’s day…
try 399
