Does anyone know if eBay sells variable load gift cards? I want to get something that's $35 and am stopping at Kroger on the way home, so I was curious.

Kroger used to carry them. I think they still do.

CardCash on ebay has several gift cards that are $5, $10, $15 and $25 amounts you could make work.

I want to thank everyone for their help with the BB/SB questions I had. My gift card running went fairly well this week with only a few mishaps. I did 9x 50$ transactions at two different BB. I was only going to try and do 3 transactions at each store but I thought I would go in strong and cut back if needed. I made the hour trip, right? (by go in strong I mean be as sweet and innocent as possible and politely ask ). First store I went to I asked the checkout girl if I could do a few transactions and let her know I was more than willing to step aside for other customers (it was a ghost town in there though). She had no problems with it so we did 3 back to back and then my Chase Pay got frozen due to suspected fraud. Took a few minutes on the phone to get it sorted out but then I went back in and did another 3. From there I went to another BB 10 minutes away and did 3 more (this store was busier and had a posted limit saying max of 3 same GC per person). I messed up a little here because instead of scanning my phone with her gun for the Chase Pay the girl had me tap it to the swiper machine. Even though it was showing my CF it charged all 3 transactions to my CSR so I missed out on 600 UR's (I sent a SM to Chase--no go on getting points added). Despite all of my transactions happening in an hour (on the 8th) it took has taken until today(11th) for them to all credit. I was really worried because of the 0$ sku on the receipt and the lack of anything pending in my SB account for the first few days.

My Safeway MC--> Fred Meyer Disney card will be completed today. I didn't realize Safeway doesn't give fuel points on the fixed value VGC's so that was a bummer but other than that those deals were fairly straight forward. So, I spent $746.80 on $750 gift cards initially which earned me 3,634 UR's ($54), 1200 Fuel points ($30), and 5400 SB's ($55) working out to about 17% off.

Now I need a vacation. Aulani, perhaps. Tomorrow will do

Just want to make sure you know what happened here The girl had you use Apple/Samsung Pay processed via apple/samsung wallet and NFC technology. Chase Pay process via a QR code, that's different tech and there is literally no way to tap to pay with Chase Pay. Your CSR must be the default card in your Apple/Samsung wallet. Idk how Samsung's work but if you have an Apple phone you can change the default card. I usually remember to select the right card by double tapping my home button while a couple inches from the payment machine so the payment can't process before I'm ready but sometimes I don't remember so I put my CFU as my default card for those days where it all processes before I even realize what's going on! Sounds like you should do that with your CF.

This might be what my grandma feels like when I try and explain her TV to her . OK, so if I get this straight: When using Chase Pay there there is a difference in payment processing when using the QR code vs the NFC? Do they both code as Chase Pay for the 5x UR on the CF? You were correct in my having the CSR as the default. I changed it so I won't run into this again. I don't have an Apple/Samsung products--just Chase Pay and Google Pay.

EDIT: I Googled. Wow, I didn't know what I didn't know! LOL. https://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/2018/01/10/use-chase-pay-store/

Hahaha!! Thank God for Google & DISBoards

Fwiw I too have run into confused cashiers who try to get me to tap it but I know that won’t ever work for Chase Pay

According to the fine print here https://creditcards.chase.com/freedom/calendar this quarter you will only get the bonus if you pay via Chase Pay (QR code).

I just wanted to share with everyone what I scored this morning! DH and I have been banking with the same credit union for years we have several accounts with them including a visa credit card and two debit card accounts...anyways, the other day I was looking at the forum and saw a really old post about someone who used their credit card rewards and scored Disney gift cards. I knew my credit union had a rewards program but I never signed up on it and figured one would have a million points and that would get me a pen set or something..you know! Well inspired by this board I went in and registered and found out I had 62,480. Points...Then much to my surprise I found out I could redeem said points for Disney gift cards! GREAT, EXCEPT THAT ..it takes 5 days by ups to receive the GC and we are going to Disney this wednesday! So I called the 800# and asked if I could get next day air, but no they didnt have that but she sugested that I take to cash back offer and they could deposit the cash equivalent of my rewards in my account within 3 days! I ended up getting $625.00. YAY..big score...So moral of this story, check your bank or credit union for rewards programs!

My Best Buy restocked their Disney! Went in today and saw 25s, 50s & variables. Bought 50s, SB shows on each receipt. (Used a credit card for each purchase.)

Look Out

Just wanted to make sure you all check your mail boxes today, I just received Ebates "Big Fat Check" $35 - WOOT!
Churn, churn churn!!!

EDIT: And Ebates is celebrating their birthday, a lot of stores are at 15% CB, makes for some awesome savings when combined with credit card discounts (AM. Ex. offers) and deep department store discounts.

Was in Costco and saw Blue Apron and Nutrisystem gift cards it was $100 for about $60+change. Not Disney I know but for those that use the services figured I'd let you know you can save $40. Bought some for my mom for mother's day.

 

[PolyRob]

I don't think I saw it posted yet, but all the Disney gift cards are back in stock on Target's website. I just bought the digital ones to renew an AP.

Woof! What a long day of shopping! FYI, be sure to double check your receipts at Kroger. They had three, Saturday ONLY deals; Ribs @ $1.77#, Sabra Humus 10oz. & Stacy Pita 7.33oz. @ $1.49 each x5. At my store, the humus & pita were ringing up at full price! I'll be going to Customer Service tomorrow for a price adjustment AND my extra $5 on both items via Michigan Scanner Law.

Can someone explain how the Kroger 4x fuel points on gift cards saves? If I buy $900 in Disney gift cards today, how much does that save in gas? Thank you.

Can someone explain how the Kroger 4x fuel points on gift cards saves? If I buy $900 in Disney gift cards today, how much does that save in gas? Thank you.

During 4x fuel points, $900 in gift cards earns 3,600 fuel points. How much that is worth depends on how much gas you can use in one fill up. If my tank is empty, I can use 20 gallons. We only have one vehicle and I don't want to mess with gas cans, so for me 3,600 points saves me $72 on gas. You can get up to 35 gallons of gas at one time with fuel points. If you can use 35 gallons (2 vehicles or using gas tanks), then that's $126 in savings when you purchase $900 in gift cards.

Some of us buy $100 visa gift cards to save a little more. The fuel points you earn should more than offset the activation fees. Then you use those gift cards (with the pin) to buy disney gift cards.

At 4X, $900.00 would be 3600 points.
Every 100 points gets $.10 off per gallon.
You can use up to 1000 points, which equals $1.00. off of each gallon of gas purchased at a Kroger gas station.
If your tank, like mine, holds 25 gallons and was near empty you'd save about $25.00 for the fill up.
Since you'd have 3600 points from the 4x $900.00 gift card purchases you could theoretically have four opportunities to fill up with a savings of $1.00 per gallon three times and $.60 per gallon once.
The only kicker is that you must use the points within the following calendar month that they are accrued.
This is especially helpful if you have a vehicle that requires mid grade gas.

Where we are you can use more than 1,000 points / fill up but I forgot not everyone can do that. Right now I’m using 2,600 points/fill up since gas is $2.69/gallon or so.

Thanks, everyone for explaining the fuel points. What’s the visa gift card savings? Can I buy Disney gift cards using the same Visa cards? Thanks again.
