If you are selling coins that you acquired from a mining pool, your Bitcoin payment to CoinCard probably has many inputs. That makes the transaction larger and slower to process. Next time include a transaction fee as part of your payment to make sure it gets into the next block. This time watch your Bitcoin client for 2 confirmations on your payment, then look for the gift card.
If your Bitcoin client shows 2 confirmations on the payment, wait about 15 minutes for the gift card company to send you card details. If you still don't receive your card, email coincard@ndrix.com with the address to which you sent payment and we'll investigate the problem.
We calculate the market rate on Mt. Gox for selling the number of Bitcoins needed for your order.
If you're selling 2 BTC, the rate will almost always be the highest bid rate on Mt. Gox. If you're selling 900 BTC, the exchange rate will be lower than that. That's because your sale executes several bid offers in the order book. Each offer has a slightly lower exchange rate than the one before it.
It can be useful to view the Mt. Gox market depth to see current offers.
