May work, because unlike other Amex promos I did not receive any confirmation once I spent the money and got the credit.

I only received confirmation when registering for the promo...
By the FiOS credit I got confirmation emails for each of the 10 credits I got...

The next challenge is using small GCs to buy larger ones.
No challenge.

Someone wrote in the other thread that such orders have been canceled.

Mine is exception for a day already does that mean it will cancel

The ones that got cancelled by me, changed overnight, or in a couple of hours.. I have one that's still exception since yesterday afternoon so maybe there's a chance it will work or they're just bogged down #ddf

I just checked, the one I had as exception from yesterday now says processing!

I've been taking my time and doing 1 order at a time, it takes about an hour for it to update from accepted to either processing or excepted. Once I see an update that would be when I make the order.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

I had about 12 exceptions, they called me today, confirmed my name and billing and shipping address, as well as last 4 of social and birthday and put them all through.  I did however see that suddenly all gift cards have a $6 and change shipping fee, but SC members report no such fee so I signed up today. It does take 3-5 days to process membership so i gotta hold off on more orders. Guess I'll have to finish the monthly MS with AGC instead.

So it seems that orders for $20 & $40 GCs placed by 5/7 either shipped or will be shipped. As per conversation I had with SC phone rep, and repeated by other reps to both a friend & bro-in-law, that they WILL NOT be reposting 20s/40s on website until AFTER 9/30. 50 for 10 is your best option. Still not a bad investment. Was assured by rep that they've re-stocked with PLENTY of $50 GCs. 

As for orders going to Exception status, I've had 20+ $50 orders that all switched from Exception to Processing within a few hours.  Did not receive a single call asking for verification info. Still have another 50 or so AMEX to register & use.

BTW, reason I called them was because from the cards I received today, I did not get any e-mails with Activation Codes.  They are aware of glitch in system. Just call in with affected order #s and they're claiming to take care of it and e-mail them out.

On orders that people got exception, were the cc's in your name or AU's names?
Did you change the info to the correct name or used your own name?

You can get up to 99 cards on a Biz account all with your own name.

Yes. I just scratched off the back. The order was submitted successfully at least.

 >:( They just started adding Shipping Charge for SCGC.
If they used regular envelopes instead of a padded mailer, it wouldn't cost them nearly as much to actually send.....

They'll now sit and watch the order volume slow down dramatically. maybe they'll turn around and take it off in a few days/weeks.
