Okay so not deal related but figured you all might know- where can I buy variable load Disney Gift Cards in stores besides Best Buy (they are out). My son has been earning spending money for Disney but its an odd amount and I am trying to find a place to buy a variable load card for the amount he has earned. Any suggested places to check? In NC if that helps.

My Kroger carries them, and so does Lowes.
 
***GOOD NEWS****...maybe....

I was just able to go online and place an order for a $25 Disney gift card and I applied a $25 REWARDS CERTIFICATE as payment. It took the balance to zero and accepted the order. I did NOT do store pick-up since I am an ElitePlus member and I get free shipping anyways. I am anticipating that the order will get cancelled, but we'll see. The fact that the option for the rewards certificate was there and that it actually applied it to the purchase was promising. There was not an option to apply a GIFT CARD as payment which I believe is a change from before.

I will be sure to report back....I'm honestly not too optimistic at this point, but I was quite surprised that it went through. It did ask for a credit card so to be "safe", I used one of my pre-paid Visa's that I have here that has a whopping $0.99 left on it. IF the order doesn't work, at least I know it won't charge my CC for the $25:teeth:.

We’ll be optimistic for you ;)

My Publix and Target sells them. I think my Kroger does as well but not sure.
 
I see my Safeway account has coupons for $10 off 2 $50 mastercard gcs and $15 of 2 $100 gcs. I'm thinking about using my Discover, then taking the gift cards to my Kroger and buying Disney gift cards when they have a 4x points promo. So I'm paying around face value for the cards, but getting 600 points at Safeway, 1200 at Kroger, and then 5% back with Discover...
Just thought I'd mention that I bought these mastercard gift cards yesterday at my store. The fee on the $50 was $4.95, and the fee on the $100 was $5.95. I think the same as Visa, as someone else mentioned (I haven't bought any of these for 6+ months...). So I paid $296.80 for $300 in gift cards, and will get back $14.84 on my Discover card. No fuel points earned.

I plan to take them to Kroger this weekend to get Disney gift cards during the 4x fuel points promo. After my gas savings that'll be about almost 11% off.

Meijer stores have them.
Their MPerks Rewards program has a $5.00 Reward for every $50.00 in gift card purchased with a cap of $50.00 in rewards.
I picked up a $500.00 variable amount Disney card and have $50.00 in Rewards to spend on anything at Meijer.
 
Did you end up trying this?

I haven't yet, my son is sick and I'm staying home with him. I did print out one QR code and am ready to go hopefully tomorrow.

I bought a $50 Visa at Kroger during 4x Fuel and there was also a $5 off coupon when you bought one, this was a long time ago. The $150 MC is from slickdeals, there is no activation fee but it does have an expiration date.

Your online order may be canceled, but you should be able to use your rewards cert in store for a GC purchase. Since you were able to put it in, hopefully it will go through.

I wonder what the "system limitations" are? I would have figured that if there were a "system limitation" then it couldn't be used, but since my order is currently beyond the "processing" phase and into the "preparing" phase, and I can no longer cancel or make changes to it, I would assume that it is not a "system limitation" at this point. I will keep an eye on it. I remember when I tried to buy GC's online using BB GC's and the orders were cancelled. The cancellation e-mails usually arrived within the hour. It's now been almost 4 hours since I placed this order and so far, so good. I am starting to feel slightly more optimistic...but still only about 50-50 that this will work.

UPDATE: My son woke up at 11:20 and said "I want to go to school NOW." I told him he didn't have to if he's not feeling well and then it slipped... "I want to see my girlfriend." Wait, what now????? My baby boy has a girlfriend :eek:
Before I pick him up after school I'll purchase a $50 Disney GC with the Visa and report back. I don't see any issue using this method of payment.

I think the "system limitations" probably refers to the fact that the gc input box doesn't appear when purchasing GCs, but possibly that's been fixed for rewards certs since this posting.
 
Not seeing $50 disney gift cards listed online with Best Buy anymore, just $25s. Were $50s there before or am I just getting confused? (totally possible lol)
 
I posted the same thing yesterday. They use to have $50’s online. Now they are gone
Now that you mention it, the last time I was in the store, they had $25, $100 and variable load, but the $50 cards were emptied out. I thought that was odd since there were a lot of all of the other ones, almost like they had been intentionally removed.

I've gotten them at Walgreens. If you have Walgreens there, is check there.

I've seen them go out of stock and then come back a while later.
