BJ's Wholesale

I see they have discounts on Disney Gift Cards, are they trustworthy?
I can't see the prices without buying a membership, which I don't want to do - just to see prices to decide if it's worth it.
Help?

They have some good sales. I've purchased there on many occasions, though the Target red card discount is as good & I don't have to wait. I use my red card online & get a digital gift card to pay off the bill. Always 5%. I've saved over $3000 doing this. For record keeping I copy/paste the 16 digit card number into a spreadsheet that I use to track expenses so I avoid the "tower of cards"

I don't have a membership to this store. We don't have this store where I live. I have gotten discounted Disney gift cards from them in the past. I was able to see the discounted price without the membership when I bought them. It's been over a year when I last bought them, so it must have changed. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it about $10 savings on a $100 gc.

BJs is a reputable business. It's a regional chain of warehouse stores like Costco. Most everyone I know "in real life" shops there. I was in the store yesterday and I noted that the $500 gift cards were $480. I don't know how much online.

I've bought about $12,000 worth of gift cards by mail from BJs over the last few years; not a single problem. Last year the discount was 8%; added to my 2% cash back card it was very nice. Recently the discount has been about 4%. 2 years ago you could buy them online without a membership; last year I had to purchase a cheap online only membership to be able to buy them.

How much is their membership fees?

 

[MAmama78]

I pay $35 per year, but I recall that there is an online only version that is cheaper.

Looks like doing it this way would save me a little over 300, that's not bad at all.

I am no Disney expert, but a lot of people try to time the GC purchase for when their credit card has an cash back bonus for wholesale clubs. Unfortunately, none of my cards are promoting wholesale clubs right now.

We don't have a credit card, so that's not an option for us.

The online membership was only $10 for a year. $500 gift cards have been listed for $479.99. I’ve used them multiple times and have never had any issues!

BJ's is local to us here. Very much like Costco and the other wholesale stores. They are a reputable business. I know our membership is in the $40 range with an employee discount, not sure if they offer just on-line memberships.
