Last year I ordered Borders GC's through SR for teacher gifts. Now that Borders.com is a full store, can we still get credit for buying GC's there?

Anybody know???

Yes! They are still giving us a commission on gift cards.

Just curious - do they charge a shipping fee if you order gc's? Also, can you order the gc's in any denomination that you want? Thanks in advance...

Those I am not sure about. I haven't actually ordered any from them.

I ordered twice from them, no extra charges, shipping was free over $30 or $40 I think. Lowest denomination was $10 but i'm not sure if you could order $15 or if it's the normal, $10, 20 , 25 etc.

Hmmmm....I thought for sure I ordered $5 cards last year. Maybe things have changed.

Okay, I just placed my order so here's the scoop.....

You can order GC's in denominations of $5 to $500. There is a fee of $1.95 per shipping address if you choose their generic card for your GC to be delivered in. If you choose a personalized card, the fee is $4.95.

The thing that bummed me out is that I wanted 8 GC's. But for that many, they won't send them first class, they have to send them express mail.....which costs about $11. So.....I'm splitting my order in half and will still be paying $1.95 for each order. Not as good a deal......I know I didn't have to do that last year. But 3% back from SR and it is more convenient.

I was just coming to post that I did see it started at $5. BUT I do know I got free shipping when I ordered 2 $20 GC's and a book I wanted over the summer. there wasn't that processsing fee, I'm off to check it out.

I see that they changed it bc of the holidays! It wasn't like that in August, you can still get free shipping if you order them in $25 or $50 though.
