Hi All! It's been a while since I've been on here. I just want to give you all a report on my success with the many helpful deals and advice/strategy you all have been posting. Thanks to everyone's help, this past December I was able to fully pay off my first
Disney Cruise that I'll be taking with family this November. I was also able to get extra discounted gift cards for our hotel stay before the cruise, onboard credit spending, excursions, prepaying tips and for 'gifts and amenaties'. My overall savings comes to a little over 24%, which also includes the rebate we will be getting back through booking with Costco. Below are some of the promotions and strategies that I found in this thread and personally used. I made sure to use a cashback credit card for all to maximize savings. These things change over time so as many of you already know, it's important to check this thread regularly.
- Best Buy CardStar pomo w/ Shopkicks and Best Buy Rewards
- Target 10% off Target gift cards promo w/ Discover 5% Cash back + Discover Cashback Match (first year)
- Various Ebay promos on gift cards (including Bed Bath & Beyond, which was a mess for me to convert)
- Kroger 15% off Best Buy gift cards promo w/ Shopkicks and Best Buy Rewards
- Chase Freedom Chase Pay 10% cashback at Walmart w/ Sams Club
- Rite Aid Disney gift card Plenti Points promos (Plenti Points program discontinued)
- CardCash 10% off Target gift cards + Coupon Cabin 10% cashback rebate
Thank you all for your help! I can't wait to get back into planning and savings mode for future vacations.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was also able to fund and renew my
Disneyland Annual Pass with these strategies. Thanks again, you all are awesome!
