Disney Gift Card Deals

If I get a Target Gift card from Cardpool and add it to my Target Account Gift Card Balance is that the safest way to save up my gift cards? or am I still in fear of the original Target Gift Card owner using the card I just purchased? I don't know if I should be collecting Target Gift Cards and purchase when I can afford to buy them in random denominations or buy in $50 increments so I can quickly purchase a Disney Gift Card? Any Advice?

Since you can only purchase $25 ebay gift cards now on Target.com (and you are limited to 8 gift cards when purchasing on ebay), I bought them and "consolidated" them by purchasing a $200 ebay gift card (email delivery so no shipping cost) on ebay. Then I purchased my Target gift cards with the larger ebay gift cards.

I made the mistake of paying for the ENTIRE transaction with gift cards instead of paying for shipping out of pocket. Don't think I'll get the ebates rebate due to that.

Nice surprise! I DID get the Ebates rebates - BOTH when I consolidated the $25 cards (by buying the $200 electronic ebay card on ebay) AND when I turned around and used that electronic card to purchase the Target gift cards.

So my trip is in January. I spent $3400 so far for $5625 in gift cards. Definitely best deal was this week when you could get 5% off target gift cards and use target gift cards to pay! Cut about $800 off my bill alone! Still need $1800 more though

Dang and I thought I made out nice making $650 with that deal! I could have made more by putting more money into it but I was nervous they were going to catch on to me and cancel all my previous orders. :rolleyes1

My heart dropped when I got the last email that said my order was cancelled. Thank goodness I managed to cash out all my Target gift cards from that deal into Disney gift cards! I'm all set for our trip! :banana:

Why didn't you just buy the remaining $1,800 you needed with this GREAT deal???

wow, that is almost 40%saving! I might miss something here, was there a deal of 5% target gift cards this week?

There were 2 target gift cards on Target's website advertising 5% off with a coupon code. The coupon code worked (which I am sure was a glitch) and it also accepted gift cards as payment. So you keep cycling through buying gift cards at the 5% discount and paying with the gift cards you bought previously. It was a great deal while it lasted, but they cancelled my last attempt early Tuesday and the coupon code was removed shortly thereafter.

Totally missed this deal! Bummer! Where did you find out about it? Slickdeals?

Thank you, Buttrcp16, it was a great deal absolutely!
I am about to ask the same question, I have no clue how to find deals like this, or the eBay+target deal last week, my only way is to check this thread and follow nice people here, thanks to everyone's help. I wish someday I can find some great deals and share here.

I'm not sure if that particular deal was published anywhere. I just happened to notice the discounted target gift cards when I was looking at the website.

Has anyone been successful in canceling an order from Cardpool.com? I'm still waiting - almost a week now - on almost $475 worth of Target e-gift cards. My first email asking for an update was answered with "it's been sent out for processing". My next email wasn't even responded to...

I went to Lowe's today because I saw Giftcard Zen had their cards discounted 7% and I know they sell Disney giftcards (why I don't know, but they do). I wanted to check to see if I could use a Lowe's giftcard to buy another sore's card. No dice.

What retailers (besides Target ime) lets you use a giftcard to buy Disney cards?

Walmart/Sams Club.
And sometimes, if you're very lucky, Sears/Kmart.

No experience with this but gosh that sucks! I think yours takes the cake

I hope they make it right for you soon! Have you checked your credit card (or however you paid) to see if it was authorized and showing as a pending authorization?

I've checked, they've not charged me yet, nor is there one pending, at least. My trip is coming up though, so I'm getting antsy given how long this is taking.

Thank you! I couldn't find a phone number for them anywhere. I'll try tomorrow or first thing Monday if they're not answering tomorrow.

Thanks again!

I had success canceling my order. I e-mailed customer service and did not get a reply, so I e-mailed them again (a few hours apart). I think it was a Sunday. On Monday I got a reply e-mail saying they had successfully canceled my order. No problems and my cc was never charged.
