Disney Gift Card Deals

[GMU MOM]

Successful flips at GS and Kmart today. Still working in Southwest PA for now. I've cashed out enough for my Nov/Dec trip so I'm ok with taking risks with my extra funds.

Thanks for this info, I just got my $500 GS GC's from cardency today and hope to be able to flip them on our way to visit family in PA soon since here in VA the system is no longer allowing the purchase of eBay GC with GS GC.

You have to be careful about the the store credit card at Walgreens vs GC. You can not use the store credit cards to buy GC so the raise stuff is not going to work by the amounts on it seems like they are store credit not GC.

In the past I bought a large amount of Walgreens gift cards to try and buy Disney gift cards, it states on the gift card that you cannot buy other gift cards with it. I would be leary of trying this.

The Walgreens gift card I bought and used to buy an eBay gc did not say that and made no reference to not being able to purchase a gc with it. I did my test with the Walgreens red gc,(though they sell a couple different looking gc's), I bought in store to do the test. They do also sell the Walgreens store credit card there as well, that is described below.

There seem to be two different types of Walgreens gift cards, the second being more like a 'store credit' type card. That second type card says Walgreens on top, then DUANEreade below that, then down in the right corner, it says store credit. I saw a bunch of those cards sold by individuals while looking for sellers of WGC's at Ebay last night. Most were in odd amounts, for sale a bit below value. I saw one that was like a $158 value for $147, (or something close to that), and I was like hmm, that's a decent discount, and I started checking it out. Almost was gonna buy it, but thankfully did not! I saw one of the pic in the display and it showed the gc laying on top of a Walgreens receipt, I think it was showing the value of the card I think. Can't find the listing anymore, so don't remember exactly, but it also showed printed out on the receipt several restrictions. It said that the card could specifically not to be used for purchasing other gift cards, as well as several other things. It's not the regular Walgreens gift card, so I wouldn't purchase this if wanting to use to purchase other gc's as this card does say it is not valid for purchasing gc's specifically.

If looking for Walgreens gift cards to buy and use to then purchase Ebay or Disney(or any other type gc that Walgreens stores sell), the only real choice at Ebay is the red Walgreens gift cards that are offered for sale by SVM. The shipping kinda stinks at $1.99 per card, regardless of quantity purchased. And, just to be sure, I contacted SVM and asked about purchasing several or more of a gc, would they do combined shipping of any sort. But they answered that they do not offer that as they have to cover their costs! Hmm. Anyway, that still makes it a valid churning choice for ebucks, albeit a bit less lucrative than we've had in the past. But, it's still decent if using during a 4x or 5x promo deal, with ebates working that will offset the shipping a bit. I will be going this route for the next promo.
And, these gift cards definitely do not have anything printed on it denying using it to purchase a gift card.

....
Where are you all buying Walgreens GC's? Only seller I see on ebay is SVM. I'd like to pick up a small $25 just to try it but I can't find any at GCM type things at the grocery store. Do you just buy it from Walgreens and go back later with it?

So far, I only bought the one WGC which I bought at one W store, and then used it to buy an Ebay gc at another W to do my testing. Which worked perfectly, btw! I will be buying them at Ebay thru SVM on the next promo.

 

[Alice Sr.]

So at 4x and 5x, the discount after shipping on the SVM WGC would be 6 or 8% respectively, correct? I'm thinking as long as the 5% is available at Target I will just go with that for now and just keep an eye out on ebay for specials like buy 75 get 15, and time other purchases with the 4x or 5x offers. I don't bid so the timing of purchases should work ok. I might revisit the rewards based programs and need to get a Chase or Discover. I might also move to an area that has a Krogers

Now that I am up and my brain is working a little better, I need to take another look at my plan. I'm going to stick with $100 increments when I churn. It feels like an amount that is enough to be profitable on my end and still low enough to fly under the radar. Without an eBucks promo, the cost of shipping on the Walgreen's cards negates the eBucks earned, rendering that pointless. I currently have $65 in BB and $25 in eBay on hand, in addition to $213 in eBucks. Here's my plan...

The first step is to stop at BB and get a $65 eBay card. That will give me a total of $303 in eBay funds. Then, I will use that money to buy (2) $100 Walgreen's gift cards and (1) $100 BB gift card from PPDG. I'll convert the BB gift card into an eBay gift card and that way, I will have $100 on hand to order another Walgreen's card if a promo comes up while I am waiting for the other Walgreen's cards to arrive. I think if I run my "cycle" with no more than $100 at a time, and no more than once a week, through PPDG, I may be OK. I want to make sure that I have at least $100 in eBay on hand at all times in case a promo comes up. When it does, I would have two options: buy Walgreen's directly, or do BB=>eBay and double-dip. Depending on the timing, the double-dip might be doable.

No matter how I proceed, I have two things working to my advantage. First, ALL of my current churning money is "free". I have no cash tied up at this point. Second, our next planned trip isn't until April 2017 so I have time to be patient...but maybe not the willpower.

Does anyone know if the $5 ebates bonus can be used more than once at best buy? If so, I would do several small orders instead of one large one.

I've been trying to come up with my own plan. I had $225ish from ebucks. I used $100 to get yard house gift cards for my brothers' bdays. Then used the other $125 for Best Buy-Disney. My trip is in Oct and I have to start exchanging cash for max discounts on cards. I want to maximize Kroger - target - Disney as much as possible but haven't had a 4x promo and I missed the June one since I was out of town. If I buy at their 2x fuel points and use my publix 20% off gas gift card it's only 17%. At 4x it's 23%. I also get rewards from my chase and generally fly for free. Downside to fuel points is there's only so much one can do and I suspect I need more Disney cards than I can get with gas discount.

I think right now my goal is to purchase 4x when it comes up the max I can use in gas for a period. Probably around $1000-1250. Then use Target. I need a backup to get the balance which could be getting the 5% at Target, churn eBay for BB and Walgreens. Decisions.....decisions....

Although if here isn't a Kroger 4x in the next 2 weeks I'm going to have to start churning at the 2x because I'm running out of time!

Thanks, I did not get the email, but the offer did show up on my ebates, but I did not see the terms & conditions listed.

Where does it show on ebates? I got the email but don't see it in my ebates and was wondering if there was a link I needed to activate or code

When I've gotten similar bonus offers previously (I specifically remember one for Lowe's I used), I did not have to do anything special. Just click through ebates to activate cashback for the website of interest as usual. Hope that helps!

When I clicked on best buy there was a blue banner with the offer on the top of the ebates page for Best Buy.

Ok so what if I get a $25 Kmart GC and a $25 GC at Best Buy ? Would I get $10 back?

 

[Lain]

Doubt it. The terms say "Limit one Cash Bonus per eligible member," which suggests this Bonus is capped at $5 per account, not store. If you try, please report back!

 

[Lain]

That is so strange. I did one order with Disney GC plus shampoo and conditioner and only got ebates for the shampoo and conditioner. I did a second order, clicking through ebates a second time and ordered Disney GC plus two shirts for my daughter and didn't get any ebates for that order. So random!

I didn't get Ebates cash back on any part of my order even though my items have shipped from Target. I think Ebates is still glitchy. I haven't been getting cash back even on qualifying items at Target before Ebates went down (and then back up).

I had 4 GameStop gift cards that I was worried about switching to eBay because of others issues. However it still works in my area! And somehow a couple of my game stop cards had extra money on them! Has this happened with anyone else's orders??

Yep, my aunt's GS cards from the latest promo each had $140 on them rather than the $100 they should have had. She had bought $500 worth so she earned an extra $200! My cards did not have any extra.

How much extra did yours have and was it on all the cards?

Local GS tells me that it's federal law that they cannot sell a gift card with a gift card. I tried really hard not to laugh at him.

I can believe that Homeland Security has warned that some bad guys are using gc to gc transactions to launder money, and to watch those kid of transactions. But unless you are moving thousands of $ per transaction, this shouldn't be a cause for scrutiny. However, some stores may have told their workers this, so they would be more observant.

Just successfully flipped $500 GameStop cards to eBay. I got them during the 4th of July promo.

Quick question. Can you earn ebucks on a purchase paid for with and ebuck certificate? Trying to decide whether it's worth it to wait for a promotion to use my certificate.

I got ebay bucks for using my certificate.



I also received a $140 on all 4 of my GS gift cards I received (extra $160).

Someone really screwed up at cardency.
