Ok, So am I missing something? I have been away for a few months and finally got back. Are Ebay cards not available from Target.com anymore??? I can't find any. If not, how are you churning? I don't have many store chains close by.
Yep, you missed a lot, lol! Actually it pretty much stinks, lol. Without GCM selling the Target gc's on ebay, really took away a huge churning opportunity. Who knows if we'll see target gc's from an authorized seller on ebay again, hopefully, but doesn't seem so likely as more time passes.
I went to the GS - Ebay - GS route, and some BB - Ebay - BB, to earn ebucks and we were able to max out our ebay limits for both myself and my DD26, in this last quarter that paid out on July 2nd or 3rd. But, although GS is still working for me in my area at this time, caution is a good idea. Then there is
Best Buy as they sell both Ebay and Disney gc's, and that's great, but the only authorized seller on Ebay is Paypal digital gifts or PPDG, and they are often very difficult at best, and some have had serious issues with them. I've been able to get some churning thru in a simple manner, but it's inconsistent and nerve wracking, lol.
My newest churn I'm going to try is thru Walgreens. I'll buy Walgreens gift cards at ebay and then use those to buy Ebay gift cards there. They also sell Disney gc's, as well as many other gc's, so that could be a good way to cash out when that time comes. I have tested this, and a few others here have as well, and you can purchase gift cards with WGC's. I'll probably do a bit thru GS, as well. I don't want to put any more cash out, have decent amt of funds already allocated towards Disney(some cash, some from my gains thru target), and are in Ebay gift cards, so I will keep churning them while I still can for the ebucks. Not nearly as lucrative as the Target ebay churning was, but still getting more 'extra funds' than if I just stopped and put all into disney gc's now.
To really see how much things have changed you may want to read back thru the last few months to May or so.
Is anyone still holding out hope for an eBucks promo this month? If I recall, there has not been any bonus offers all month, right? I used my eBucks to buy $200 in Walgreen's gift cards, but with shipping at $1.99/card, it's only a break-even without an eBucks promo. Well, I guess I did get the 1% in eBates, but that is not nearly enough to justify a snail-mail churn. I just received the notice that my cards have shipped and I also have a $100 eBay card that I bought at BB. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we see a promo some time in early August. I am antsy, but I have to pace myself, especially with PPDG. I'm going to really try and limit myself to a $100 card every 2 weeks. Other than that, I plan to slow-churn through Walgreen's, but ONLY if there is a promo. Otherwise, it isn't worth it.
I am, and hopeful for one to pop up tomorrow or this week some time! I mean, we did have one last time in April, the last ebucks redemption month. There was a flash 6 or 8 hour sale(our first flash sale that I remember). Seems like since then, most sales were limited time flash sales, until that last one near the end of June that was two days. That was nice, much more time to get things done, like the good 'ole days, lol. Flash sales are so much harder while working and all, lol! Anyway, I thought there was one each redemption month, but not positive on that nor have the details. Other posters have put out past promo dates a couple months back, I think. And, yes, you are right, there have not been any ebucks promos at all this month. And, you're also right that a churn thru Walgreens is only viable with at least a 4x - 5x ebucks promo. So, yep, definitely holding out hope for a nice promo deal this month!
I've used it towards an egg incubator for my duck and chicken eggs. Not quite Disney related...
.
I think someone mentioned before of buying game systems with the GC and reselling them, if I have no other choice I might have to go that route.
