Disney Gift Card Deals

Just received an email from Giant Eagle confirming the $.29 fuel perks for $50 spend tomorrow on all gift cards.

Me too! Thanks! My problem is I already have 5.00 in fuel perks so in essance every 1k bought is 6.00 in free gas per gallon so in essence every 1k is going to buy 3 complete 30 gallon fill ups....SOOOO with it expiring at the end of April my max I can do is around 1200 to not leave any gas unused. Ugh. Wish I had room for more!!!!

Completely agree @scottmel. I don't know that I'll be able to fully participate in this one. I've posted it before, but the decrease in gas prices has really made me have to plan much more to avoid leaving money on the table.

I know when would you think we ever lamented the lowering of gas prices???? I had budgeted the gift cards well for the March and June trips and have them paid off so no gift cards needed - but this last minute ABD trip is killing me not to get a better gas discount. I plan to buy 1200 tomorrow in Target, run it thru target and then am hopefully for double points again for EAster so I can do the rest them which wouldn;t epxire until end of June if bought in April. But can't run it thru the Target online thing, won't be enough time...Sadly disappointed in this!

Is it an older gift card? I've had to call Target customer service to get an older gift card "reactivated".

Thank you it is actually from 2012. I will contact them

An order I placed around 6PM yesterday is still processing. Fingers crossed it doesn't get canceled.

24 hours later and no eBay gift cards received from Target .com! That part of my order is still processing, but my erasers are marked as shipped.

I know I should know this. Can I buy three $100 Disney gift cards plus one $50 gift card in one transaction?

Yes. The limits are per denomination.

Yes. Just bought 3($100) and 4($50).

Checking I understand this right. I am at my limit with ebay. I have signed up my MIL and will be verifying her checking account this week to have another $5000 limit. I can still use my ebay account and then pay with her PayPal tied to her checking account even though I will be using gift cards and not using the money?

This is why I don't recommend using eBay GCs to buy more eBay GCs - it eats into your 5k limit for a much smaller return.
Now, you can still buy Target cards on eBay, even though you hit your 5k gift card limit. You just have to pay for them another way. Depending on your financial goals and needs, this might be a reasonable option.
But assuming you have the time to wait before your next Disney expenditure, holding out for the highest ebay rebates is the best plan.

Yes, I agree, that wouldn't be a good purchase. I only bought Target cards with my ebay gc's I bought at Target. When they had the 5x ebay bucks promo about 2 weeks ago, I only had $900 ebay cards to use, then I used my cc to buy another $750 in Target cards with the 5x promo, figuring $75 was a good disc. Then used the $900 in target gc's and the $750 target gc's to buy ebay gc's for this last 4x promo. I maybe shouldn't have, but bought them throughout the day Thursday, between four orders at Target, waiting to get the one order before placing the next.

Yes. Just bought 3($100) and 4($50).

I thought you could buy 4 of the $50's but, could only buy 3 $50's, while buying 3 $150's on Thursday to use for the 4x promo. Hmm, strange.

I've been trying to find out how do you know if you are verified already or if you need to do something to get the account verified if it's not? DD25 has a paypal acct, linked to her and DF's bank acct. I'm interested to hear the answer to your question, as well, as I thought we had to make DD25 an ebay acct to connect to her paypal acct she already has. I thought my ebay acct was done until I got past my 6 months.

We also are considering connecting to a bank acct that has both her name and my name on it. Would that work with both our names on it, or can my name not be on it? Like you said, we don't expect to make purchases on the acct other than to use the ebay gc's to pay.

Ebates has 10% cash back today at Ebay! Not sure if that includes gift cards or not.

Nope. GCs are 1%.

 

[scottmel]

Depends on category gift card category is 1 percent

 

[jknewberry]

Ebates has 10% off for baby and "art", still just 1 % on gift cards

 

[Vernie822]

Thanks for checking! I glanced at it real quick before leaving for work but didn't have time to look into it.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I thought it would never happen to me, but it did. I bought $1009 worth of electronic Target cards from cardpool and they were delivered loaded, but I went to use them and they have all been used, yesterday in a Virginia store, I live in MA. I bought them on 2/23. I know a few others have gone though this. I tried calling cardpool with no luck. I emailed them and the reply email said next business day for a reply. However, on their website it says no returns on electronic gift cards?!!?! Not excited about that. Should I call my credit card already or wait for a response from Cardpool? Can Target do anything? I usually load them into my Target mobile app and combined them into one, and this time I loaded them all into my target account online. I should've known better. UGH.

Cardpool should have some sort of guarantee on the GCs. You need to deal with them. Target will not help you with this. I know that it's frustrating. I've had a number of GCs that I purchased on Raise that got drained...one within minutes of delivery. Raise was always very good about refunding my money. Hopefully Cardpool customer service is just as good.

No, this has nothing to do with Target. From their POV someone who owns cards spent them legitimately. It's up to Cardpool to fix. You could call your credit card company and dispute the charge, but you'd have to lie and say you didn't get what you ordered, which is not the case -- this person stole from you after a legit credit card transaction. Sadly I think it's all on Cardpool to stand by their buyer protection here. I would pursue them. Good luck...

EDIT... BTW I don't think you're looking for a return, rather, buyer protection. They have to have a mechanism to deal w this sort of thing and I can't imagine them not ruling in your favor. Go with their timeline (24-hours?) for responses and keep us posted...

I will update when I get one. I will have to read through their guarantee better. The response email said next business day but they respond in the order they get emails. We will see. Thanks for your post!
