Gift Card Mall (GCM) is now Emailing Activation Codes

Good morning everyone, I recently ordered a Visa Gift Card on Gift Card Mall and received the following email with the gift card activation code.  I’m not sure if this is a new process, but if it is, it is long overdue.  Hopefully this is the future of Gift Card Mall activation codes, no more snail mail!  Actually snail mail is probably faster than whatever method of delivery Gift Card Mall currently uses to send out activation codes.

Allett EcoThin Original Wallet (Hold Cash and up to 24 Credit Cards)

Updated – 2/14/2015 at 5PM PST: Added more versions of the Allett (leather, velcro, and women’s versions) to the bottom of the post.

Good evening everyone, let me tell you about a cool wallet that I learned about at my recent OC Meetup.  As we discussed gift cards and credit cards, an attendee pulled out his wallet and started looking for a specific card.  Then another attendee pulled out his wallet and noticed that they had the same wallet.  They both had the Allett, a super thin wallet capable of holding cash and up to 24 credit cards.  I decided to buy an Allett and test it out myself (Amazon).
