I wonder if they will count against the 2015 or 2016 $50k Ink Plus annual limit? Ordered in 2015, processed partially in 2015, pending in 2015 (sort of), processed in 2016, pending in 2016, shipped in 2016.
It will probably be determined by when it will say on your statement is the actual date.

Anyone know if there's a way to track them? They gave me weird tracking numbers...

Doesn't work?

I tried usps (which is how they said it was shipped) and it didn't work.
I also tried googling the tracking number and came up with nothing.
They send it regular mail with no tracking.

That's what I figured. So why do they give a tracking number. Just to annoy me?

Probably internal tracking number. I've called about missing rebates and they've asked for the tracking number.

All orders shipped but charges are still pending. Weird?

Received cards. Just a reminder: These cards need to be activated (and registered, if you want to use it online/phone), not like the ones sold in store.

My cards are all coming up with an error message when I try to activate/check balance.

"We cannot process your request at this time. Please try again or call 1-877-426-2551."

Happens on the 'Activation code' page, when I use the code under the card. Tried swapping code numbers between cards, same thing. Anyone else having trouble with this?

Actually, just checked Chase. Whereas my IP had all the purchases pending before the cards were shipped out, they're no longer under pending, didn't show up in charges, and my available credit shows as if the charges have been removed. I may have a bunch of dud cards now.  >:(

Call (877) 426-2551 to activate cards, wait 5 minutes, and then (888) 524-1283 to register cards.

So no need to register if loading to (still alive) Serve, correct?

Cards all show shipped on staples.com and got shipped confirmation emails, dropped off pending on ink and not appearing to be deducted in my cl. Does that mean that if I do receive these vgcs they will be duds?

I registered the card with my address at giftcardmall.com/mygift
Please explain to me what benefit do I have from registering the card with my address? I tried to make a payment to the credit card (citi bank allows debit card payments) but it didn't go through even though it was registered with my address. Any input? Thanks.
