Disney Gift Card Deals

[mkymouse40]

I guess I better hurry up and go over there to buy the Disney gift cards before that ends too. Man, this is depressing!! Can anyone confirm that if you buy the gift cards and maybe some regular items, can you pay with gift cards and the Target credit card and get 5% off of everything???

Would be nice if that happened, but unfortunately you'll only get the 5% on the amount paid with your Red Card.

Ok, new to the disney gift card thing ... I'm about to go drop some serious $$$ at Sams and get some of the $500 packs for $474. I can just enter the gift card on the website to use as payment, correct?

Some people here have tried that and same result; their entire target .com order was cancelled. You can't use a Target GC to pay for any part of an online order containing third party GCs.

ETA: As for in store, @Eighty8Keys is right. You'll only get the REDcard 5% discount off the amount actually charged on the REDcard.

Does anyone know a way to find out which Target stores have self-checkout?

Well, I'm screwed for sure. I have $1700 worth of Target gift cards. Now what? We can't use them in the store for Disney gift cards, correct?

I think your problem will have more to do with availability than being able to redeem those Target GCs for Disney GCs. I had no problem using the self checkout to use GCs to pay for GCs. However, there wasn't a single Disney GC to be found in the checkout aisles at my store. I found some $50's in the electronics section but there weren't a lot.

And it bears repeating for anyone who is churning: ALWAYS HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY! You don't want to be "screwed" and end up with GCs for which you have no use.

You can do that. If you are going to pay for your vacation with gift cards, you should investigate whether a Disney Vacation Account is right for you. It's like a savings account, except you only get "interest" if you have the account for 6 months before you remove your money, you can only use the money for Disney vacations, and you get $20 for every $1000 you transfer, but no partial payments.

You can combine gift cards at https://www.disneygiftcard.com/, which is where you can also verify how much is on each card.

I think it's a matter of going into the store to find out. Self checkouts are not a feature listed when you use the store locator search on the website. I suppose that you could call, but it's kind of an unusual question and could draw unnecessary attention to the checkouts.

Lori, I have been using m+ to get points, trying to do swagbucks, and now when I shop, I try to buy things I need at Target, and do the deals that get the free gift cards. All of these methods are slower, and may not add up to $1000, but if you combine them with whatever is working in your neighborhood, you might get there. Honestly, that's where I am. I can't do Sears/Kmart, but Walgreens is working near me.

I have been following a site called Living Rich with Coupons, and they post ways to combine savings from coupons, apps and instore loss leaders. For instance, if you get $30 worth of school supplies from Target, they will give you a $5 gift card. Those free gift cards add up, and I am going to use several this weekend to get a $50 gift card. I would have preferred to use them online and get that same card for only $47.50, but since I have been getting these cards for essentially moving my food shopping to a different store, this is essentially free to me.

I do Swagbucks, Perk, Mpoints+, and Shop Kicks. I think I'm going to move my cash outs from Target to Best Buy (where I can) since I can get Shopkicks on BB purchases. I also have some coins I need to take to Coin Star to trade in for a BB GC>Disney. We are having a yard sale the first weekend in Oct, so I am scrambling to find as much stuff as I can sell. I'm trying to think if there is something I can make to sell on the side at the yard sale. I'm not great at coming up with the right thing.

I purchased about $10 of Disney cards not covered by my target gift cards. I used my red card and only got the 5% off that $10, no additional discount was given for what was covered by my target gift cards.

Is this a recent change? I bought Disney gcs online with Target gcs but had my Target card as the defult payment and got the 5% off the total.

Yes, very recent.

Not only do you no longer get the discount, but it appears Target is canceling any online Disney GC orders if any part of the order is paid with Target GCs.

Earlier this week. Did you get it to go thru recently?

 

[CookieGVB]

It was about a month ago - not that recent.

Just a heads up. If anyone a Sam's Card, and you have a discover it. Oct-Dec will be 5% at Sam's (up to $1500 in purchases -$75 in cashback). If you don't have a discover it, I believe they have an offer for double your cash back for the first year.

142.88 for 150

1500/ 142.88 = 11 sets for (1571.68)

11 x 7.12= 78.32 + 75.71 (CB) = 154.03

So 1650 worth of GC's for 1571.68 with 75.71 back or 151.42 if new card. So either 9% off or 14% savings.

If you do not have a sams card get the discover it first and buy membership though discover deals for a gc for signing up.

Walgreens disappointment in Oregon. Went to 2 different Walgreens with red gift card to try to get eBay and was unsuccessful. One store I had used before and one new one. Would not scan. Cashier tried putting in manually, did not work.

I put a $100 gift card in my basket and went to the check out page and the discount of 5% was there.

That's wonderful! Let us know how it goes when you complete that purchase.

Oh, I just did it as a mock purchase. Would it get canceled you think?

Yes.....if you pay with a Target GC. Try it and see.......just for fun.
