I don't see where the bonus is applied to my cash balance. Is it applied to next "Fat check" without showing in cash balance?

Sorry, found it.

Can you use multiple Target gift cards to buy a larger one? Thanks!

Yes, you can, both in-store at the customer service desk and online. If you do it online, you'll have to pick from pre-set amounts (e.g. $25, $50, $75), whereas in-store they can combine the actual amounts of the gift cards, even if it's not an even number.

Not just In customer service all you have to do is grab a new GC and tell the cashier how much you want and pay with your GC.

On your Cash Back Balance page, there are several sections.
First is your Cash Back Balance
Second section, which is probably the longest, is your Cash Back on Purchases. Then scroll to the bottom of the page
The third section should be Bonuses.
If you had a Fat Wallet account, or had some other alteration to your account, you may have a fourth section called Adjustments.

My bonus was in the Bonuses section, but since I had a lot of purchases with cash back, (one as low as 9 cents), I had to scroll down quite a bit to find it.

I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago. I missed all 3 attempts. After the final attempt they hold it at the local facility for 3 business days. The one I went to had hours until 8pm Monday through Friday. While it was definitely an inconvenience to go pick them up, at least I got them. So don't worry that they will get sent back after the last attempt. You'll have a few days to get them. I would just be sure to give them a call to verify.

Okay, that's good to know at least! Thank you!

Mine came USPS and arrived within 4 days. I ordered them on the 17th, they arrived on the 21st and the shipping status (on eBay) still shows an estimated delivery date of today.

Their ship time seems pretty quick, I would have got these in 4 business days if I'd have gotten them yesterday! Was wondering if you converted yours and how that went the you?

What seller did you buy from, and how much was the total? I want to make sure any gift cards I buy are delivered thru USPS, because I don't have time to go to a FedEx facility. Thanks again!

I got them from SVM, ordered $1000 in WGC's. They did show as shipped.
Right?! It's a pain but at least they are safe. I gotta find where our place is, I hope there is a local fed ex location. After this I'll have them delivered to work, always someone there to sign!
Yw!

For anyone doing shopkick and also Walgreens churn-

Got my svm order from last week yesterday. Went to Walgreens. Saw they had Best Buy in addition to eBay and Disney. Decided to grab part Best Buy since I was gonna be next door to there today anyway and part eBay. Swiped 2 gc in 1 transaction without issue. Went to Best Buy and scanned my shopkick and grabbed an eBay. Didn't net me cash but got me 200 kicks which was a nice little side bonus without a lot of hassle while changing back to eBay. It's convenient for those with the Best Buy and Walgreens by them en route during the regular stops.

Is there a sticky or a comment somewhere in this thread that lists all of the current deals and tricks that still do or do not work?

Can we still buy discount target gift cards and stack our 5% red card savings with them? Other than that, what is the best way to save more than 5% on Disney Gift Cards?

Also, on the Disney Vacation Account, it says you have to have been saving for 120 days. I have had a small amount in there for longer than that, like less than 100 dollars. Do you have to be over 1000 dollars for 120 days or can I purchase 1000 in gift cards right now and get a 20 dollar gift card?

For those with Hy-Vee stores, thru Aug. 2 they are offering a $10 Hy-Vee gift card with a $50 purchase of select other cards. In my area that includes Lowes, Pet Smart, Nike, Buffalo Wild Wings, Facebook and Dominoes.

Since we are remodeling a bathroom, I bought $250 worth of Lowes cards and got five free $10 Hy-Vee cards. I then took those cards and 'bought' a $50 Disney Card.

The deal was made even sweeter because they give fuel rewards for every gift card purchased.

So I walked away with a free $50 Disney card and 60 cents per gallon in fuel rewards.

edited to fix my bad math

I suggest you read at least the last 50 pages. Everything changes on a daily basis and find out what will work for you.

We've decided against providing a sticky because so many things are YMMV. It's best if you read at least the last 50 pages, more if possible.

You only need to have your Disney Vacation account open for 120 days to be eligible for the bonus. However, you only earn the $20 bonus for every $1000 you SPEND on eligible purchases, not for every $1000 you deposit into the account.

I just converted the Walgreen's cards today. I bought a gallon of milk and a loadable eBay gift card. I asked the cashier to put $200 on it and she reminded me that it was not returnable. The total was $202.49 and I scanned my first $100 gift card...total dropped to $102.49, so far so good. Then I scanned the second card...total went to $2.49...awesome. Then I scanned my debit card for the remaining $2.49 and it asked me if I wanted cash back and I saw that the total was now $102.49. I looked at the "summary" and saw that for some reason, it didn't apply the second $100 gift card. I asked the cashier to "back up" the transaction and she got it back to the payment screen that showed a total due of $102.49. I swiped the second gift card again and the total went back down to $2.49. Phew! No problems at all...the cashier never batted an eye and didn't mention the gift card at all....like this is an everyday, normal thing.

My experiences at both Best Buy and Walgreen's have been uneventful and quite pleasant. I think I will continue to buy Walgreen's GC's, but ONLY when there is an eBucks bonus offer. I also bought a $100 BB gift card today from PPDG and had ZERO problems. Right now, I have $200 in ebay and $100 in BB. On Thursday, I will convert my BB into another eBay card when I am over on that end of town. Then, I will sit on my $300 and wait. If a promo comes along, I will dump all $300 into Walgreen's. Otherwise, I will wait another 10 days and use $100 to get BB from PPDG. That way, I still have the funds available if a promo comes up, I'm not running a ton through PPDG and I am still slowly earning eBucks and eBates...$3 at a time

My Cardpool order came through just fine but looks like it will be my only order as I am just not ok with the maybe refund bad cards/maybe not policy they seem to have in place for electronic cards.

For anyone looking to be a new user on Cardpool I used the code NewUser5 to get $5 off my first order.

Is Raise com the only discount gift card buying site that guarantees egift cards? I've noticed quite a few of the sites on Giftcard Grannies Don't guarantee egift or mobile gift cards

I think the easiest thing to start with is buying Target gift cards on Raise.com (or other gift card reseller) and then using them to buy Disney gift cards on Target's website. There are other levels of earnings (I'm still a newbie and learning) but the Target thing still works for approx. 10% off.

Regarding Disney Vacation Account. I kept my account open from a previous trip and reloaded it. I was able to use the funds to pay for another trip and get the $20 bonus per $1,000 without an additional 120 days.

Someone mentioned this morning, still no real definitive word on Kroger 4x fuel points. I guess we'll know in the morning. If there's nothing on the app I plan to go in first thing in the am to check.

CardCash has a 45 day guarantee. I got an empty electronic card from them & they refunded me.

Please let us know if you find anything. I'm ready to max out gas rewards if the 4x sale go into August for now through September.
