Disney Gift Card Deals

[DIS_MERI]

I only received 100 on my cards, but I was able to successfully flip them yesterday. My friend in southern IN got shut down last week and ended up coming to visit me so she could flip hers.

I only had $100 on the 5 I ordered. Plan on flipping some tonight on the way home from work then going to another store tomorrow morning for the remainder.

so out of courisity, the people that ended up with extra on your GS cards did you end up getting the email that said that even thou the letter only said $60 , you will get $100,?

 

[ellie05]

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!

I was going to try it but since I never have tried to flip through Kmart I just did it through BB. My order went through no problem and I already got the email to come pick up the order. I also got credit and the $5 bonus.

My best guess is no. I got the email about the $60, the sheet attached to my cards stated $60, and my cards only had $100. I'm guessing the people with no email probably had sheets that stated $100, and their cards actually had the $140.

Did you order anything other than the gift card?

 

[Camiandcarson10]

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?

Yes it was $140 on mine !

Yes I got the email and the paper said $60 but it was really $140.

No just a $25 Disney GC.

Successfully churned $620 GS cards into eBay this afternoon. Going to try my last $500 at another location tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Good first experience with Cardcash. Ordered something small ($42) to start to see how quick their delivery was and it was about 13 minutes to get the card into my email. Ordered another $200 for Target after that and about 5 hours later they sent a confirmation text to me which I got when I woke up this morning. I get why they do that for first time large orders. After I replied the codes were sent within minutes.

Stopped at GS in south central PA. I had success at another one just on Monday.

The associate ran the transaction, I swiped my cards, then a message came up that said the transaction was not approved. He said it was weird and called the manager over. The manager got a new ebay card and logged in on a different computer and ran it through. I think the noose is tightening.

Just an update to my saga (and a warning):

As most of you know, I was permanently limited a few weeks ago and had to fight tooth and nail to get it reversed. I was told that I could not use eBay GC to buy GC on eBay. I was told I could use eBay Bucks to buy eBay GC.

So since then, I've used my account a few times keeping with what they told me:

6/28: Buy cables through BB's eBay store using eBay GC - OK
7/2: Buy cables through BB's eBay store using eBay GC - OK
7/13: Buy gas card from SVM (NOT PPDG) using eBay Bucks - Permanent Limitation from Paypal AGAIN!

I called the PP limitations department up and the person spoke with a supervisor who instantly messaged the person I originally spoke with. I told the supervisor of what the original person said (that I could use eBay Bucks) and that I wanted to speak with the original person if he disagreed. Well lo and behold, the original person disagreed and I was put on the phone with the original person.

The original person wanted to keep the permanent limitation, but I argued that he told me I could use eBay Bucks to buy GC. He wouldn't believe me. So I convinced him to review the phone call again. After a few minutes he came back and claimed that I got him on a technicality since we supposedly never talked about eBay Bucks. This was a lie, because I remember specifically asked him about it given eBay Bucks were coming due in July. I also doubt he would have reversed if it was really never discussed. So he said this would be the last time he would reverse it and made it clear that I couldn't use eBay Bucks or any other non-direct bank/cc payment using Paypal to pay for GC.

Few takeaways:

1. Once you get on the GC watch list (from PPDG) they will watch all GC purchases, regardless of whether it is PPDG or not.
2. Paypal will record phone calls. It worked out in my favor this time, but it may not for you.
3. Paypal keeps records of who spoke with you. It worked out in my favor this time, but it may not for you.
4. Paypal still sucks - they don't even remember their own phone conversations. If PP is a separate company from eBay, I can't believe eBay would be happy with the customer service eBay's customers are receiving from PP.

My aunt did get the $40 extra per GC and she also got the email alerting her to the letter stating there was only $60 on them.

And get this, she ordered 5 GC's but in two separate orders (one through her ebay and one through my uncle's ebay) and the $40 bonus was on all the GC's. So, my guess is that it was a select batch of GC's that all got ran at the same time. I am pretty sure she ordered fairly early in the promotion.

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

Yes, the shipping definitely sucks, biting into my ebucks. Right now, the amount I have in ebay cards to use for churning, will still net me an okay profit, particularly with a 5x promo. So, most recently with GCM GS cards, I think on 10 cards ($1000), I spent 11.90 shipping (IIRC), so I'd get $10 in ebates, and $100 in ebucks, minus the 11.90. Still almost a hundred dollars free that I wouldn't have had. BB cards were better with no shipping, of course, but a direct way to Disney gc's. Now if I do that with the WGS's it'd cost me another $8, so a smaller amount but still profit. Certainly things were much better with the Target churning. The money I have currently in ebay cards I could either cash into Disney now and just keep it for my trips and be done. Or I could churn with a smaller profit, while I can still churn, using GS till that changes, WGC which is new, or BB depending on being able to get some BB easily or not. I figure I might as well keep working it while I can. I've put enough money out already so want to put out just enough on a bigger promo to still net more than I'd have if I'd done nothing. I don't have Krogers or rewards cards other than SW card and a Disney rewards card. And that and buying discounted Target would still require more cash outlay which would be more than shipping. Maybe my math is wrong but for me I think I'll still make more 'free money' spending a little more in shipping, but that's all the extra I'm spending. A small promo would definitely not be worth doing at all, so mainly 5x , maybe some 4x and a bit of BB gc's ocassionally if that works. I'll just have to keep working the numbers to see what's gonna work or not.

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.

Yep, we got ebucks when using the ebucks we had earned!

There are colored boxes halfway down the homepage and one states I have 5 bonus offers. But I also find them when I go to my account page and the bonus offers are listed under my cash back account.

The last time I tried to use one of those bonus offers,it was for groupon, I used the link,and nothing. I emailed, and their response was it was up to the merchant to alert them to give the bonus. not worth the hassle IMHO.

 

[hsmamato2]

Yeah.... cashed out this week.... used all my ebucks for some WM gc's,which will convert to dis gc's at another 5% off at Sams.... then I'm out of this part of the action...thanks for all the great info and advice here, it was a fun ride!This last cash out is kind of fun,seeing as all those ebuck were 'free' so it's a good feeling overall, just got to look for other little ways to keep costs down in the future! (I still keep reading this thread tho,it's become a habit after so many months!)

I used the BB yesterday and the $5 already showing pending I already got my cashback showing too.

Did you get the Walmart gc from private seller? You can use the Wm gc at SAMs I'm guessing - is this online or in store?

Ditto. $5.25 back from the transaction. Instant 20% back - don't mind if I do!

Was successfully able to flip $400 of my gamestop cards at 2 stores in Indianapolis yesterday. I'm going to do my remaining $100 this afternoon. Neither store mentioned anything about the upcoming change though at the first store the cashier gave me a mini heart attack. He said I looked really familiar and was trying to figure out where he knew me from and while we were talking he mistakenly slid the ebay card in the card reader and got an error message on his payment screen. He realized what he did, but for a few seconds I thought I was out of luck. Found someone on ebay this morning selling Disney at face value with 100% rating so I went ahead and picked that up since our payment's due next month.
