Disney Gift Card Deals

[3 DD love princesses]

Did you use the same credit card or a different one each time?

Same cc actually had to verify it wasn’t fraud

UA portal just went to 2 miles per dollar at Best Buy today using a UA CC, so if that is a 'currency' you are focusing on you could get the GCs and some miles- and if you are signed up for the holiday portal bonus, you can get even more miles (assuming GCs are included- didn't read the terms and conditions yet).

Not Disney gift card related but given the Amex offer at Best Buy I thought I'd mention the Best Buy has a gift card offer on certain gift cards like crate and barrel, sephora, whbm where you get a $5 bb gift card when you purchase a $50 gift card. I picked up Sephora for my sister's Christmas present. Seems like an okay deal with the Amex offers. Especially since I've maxed out my grocery spending on my bcp.

You can definitely do them all together. Best Buy stores carry variable load cards that can fit up to $500 on them. You can ask for $495 if you want and pay for it with all your eGCs and savings codes. That’s just 6 codes the cashier has to scan. I believe you can use up to 10 gift cards/codes/certificates in one transaction.

Best Buy has been running this deal a lot lately so I'm sure you'll see it again.

I realized that even though I don't have enough in my savings account to cover ALL of my DVC dues, I do have enough to take advantage of $450 in BB gift cards through this offer. So I decided to jump on it. I'm going to put it on my BB Visa card and see what happens. Maybe I will get some rewards...maybe not. Either way, this works out almost as good as a 10% Target deal and since that may or may not happen for me, a bird in the hand....well, you know the saying

Check your Kroger coupons. I have one that saves $5 on a $50 Visa or MasterCard gift card. Expires 11/11. I'm a little confused though - my coupon says "5X SATURDAY ONLY offer," yet the coupon appears to be active already. And the fine print doesn't say that the 5x is only good on Saturday???

I think it only will work on Saturday even though it's loaded and you can buy five $50 gift cards. That said, I can easily see this not working like it's supposed to.

ETA: Never, mind--you're right. The other ones specifically say they only work on Saturday??? Suggests this one is live.

I tried calling customer service. They are clueless and no help at all! Guess I'll just wait till Saturday and risk them being sold out.

So this would basically refund the fee of 4.95. Then you'd get 2x fuel points. Does that sound correct?

I don't know if I just didn't notice it yesterday of if it just didn't show up for me until today, but I got the Google Express deal on my Amex this morning. Now I have to look back through yesterday's posts and see how to use it. I think I saw directions on Slickdeals too.

Sounds right. And you can buy 5 of them.

Along those lines, I've noticed that some of my Amex offers are showing up "late." I'll read about a deal and check all of my cards. Nada. Then a couple days later, the offers will appear.

Sounds right to me too.

Seems like a good use of the $150 card I picked up at Safeway last week for $10 off...

Can someone help me figure out the Kroger deal posted above. If it breaks even after activation fee, is the only benefit to buying the card gas points and CC rewards? I usually get my gas at Costco, so that won't help me much, unless there is something I am missing (which is very likely). Also, do you just use the Visa cards for your regular shopping or gifts, or is there a way to flip them for Disney? Thanks

You can turn around and use them to buy Disney.

I'll buy five, earning 500 fuel points (worth $10 to me). I'll also get $7.50 back from Amex (already maxed out my BCP so have to use my BCE).

I then can use those (at self checkout, I've been denied at my Kroger by a manager when using a cashier) to buy $250 of Disney gift cards when they run 4x fuel points (worth $20 to me).

So I will pay $242.50 for $250 of Disney gift cards and should get about $30 of free gas.

Thanks for laying it all out there for me. I am not a big Kroger shopper, so I wasn't sure of their policies. Good to know! Thanks!

Has anyone used Ibotta for the Best Buy cash back recently? I️ noticed that they added language about not applicable to gift cards recently.

The fee is higher then that more around $5.95 but don't quote me on that. These are nice to have to use for online ordering with companies you've never used before or gift giving. That's why I get them, just a few though.

$5.95 for $100. $4.95 for $50. So the coupon offsets the fee.

Correct! That's why it makes a nice gift.

I think that wording has been there for a while. I used it on Saturday to purchase Starbucks gift cards at Best Buy and my cashback posted yesterday.
