Yes, but you will need to contact Member Accounting as you can't pay on-line with Disney Gift Cards.

They can give you the fax number to send in several if you don't have the time to do it on the phone.

Best plan is to pre-scratch off the back and write down all the gc numbers sequentially (don't have to be in order) on a sheet of paper (with values if they're different). Being able quickly rattle them off is helpful to the cast member.

I called to do today with 26 gift cards and they told me that if there was a Disney Store close by I could go buy a 1300.00 gift card with my 26 $50 cards. I'm going to go try this but it sounds like something the good folks at the Disney Store are going to say "never heard of that" to. Anyone else hear of this?

YES, I heard that it can be done and was done with the help of the store manager. I used only 12 $50 Disney gift cards from Target to pay my BWV 100 point dues this year. Next year I will have SSR 160 points dues in addition, so this route looks good. They only need the last 4 digits hidden in the scratch off area, not the security code next to it, when doing dues payment with CS.

I have several GCs and will have my Visa reward card. I had a bunch last year and had no problem calling to pay that way

Thanks Denis I'm going to Disney Store today.

When I called they came up with this . Didn't seem interested in going thru 26 cards Frankly if this works today it will be better for both them and me.

Please let us know the outcome of your trip to the disney store. I have called the Disney store and stopped in one and have been told NO.

Sorry meant to post yesterday. They told me NO ! This was the Disney Store in Illinois that used to have a DVC store in same mall. So pretty big but .... I called MS yesterday to report that they are handing out bogus info.

I figured it sounded to good to be true Calling MS today to take care of my dues! Multiple $50 GCs here as well.

I went to a Disney store today and they told me no! That their POS system didn't have the capacity to load one gift card into another NOR could you use multiple gift cards to buy a single larger denomination card. This sounds so weird to me, I've worked in a few retail changes and stores always had the capacity to combine gift cards.

 

[WILDERNESS FAN 55]

As it turns out it was pretty easy to make a simple spread sheet with all the gift card numbers and fax to MS accounting.
Buying the gift cards I had a friend whose wife works there. 10% employee disc 5% Red Card disc and 5% pharmacy reward disc totaled about 18% off since they are taken one at a time. Saved me close to 300.00 and the cost of a good lunch Going to do the same next year and for my next trip !

I also find this a bit strange. Oh well!

Wish I could use my GCs to pay towards my DVC loans! Lol. Will be so happy once those are paid off next year! Woot!

This is not true.. I had 2 gift cards from christmas. went to the store, forgot to use the cards..
Was joking with the CM, that I'm going to lose one. She asked if I wanted to combine them?

So I do think they can do it.. Maybe they can only do, two or three?

We have three contracts and using gift cards not a issue. We make up spread sheet and fax info into Disney. You can check back in a couple of days to see if all went through. Heard about doing the cards a few years ago from other DVC members.

I did a spreadsheet for each of our properties. I received a call Friday evening from MS, I had inadvertently left out a number, the CM was wonderful.
