Disney Gift Card Deals

[afan]

Everything good came later in the month last time.

While true, I think the offers the beginning of Sept expired the day before the last one's posted. I think some in August were only good for a week. I would imagine those that expire at the end of the month won't have a new offer post until November.

Bummer that the RMN deals aren’t back. I only jumped on that bandwagon last week so just got one round in for myself and one for hubby. We leave 2 weeks from today and still need to purchase $1000 in GCs. I guess our best bet is to order from BJs. We don’t have Redcard.

If you’re not interested in the target credit card you could apply for the target debit card. It links to a bank account and still gives you 5% off like the credit card.

Then I went to Staples...

The only Disney gift cards they had were $50 and that wasn't going to happen. I decided to get creative and I opted to buy a $25 Target gift card. Then, when I go grocery shopping at Target on Tuesday, I'll use the gift card for the groceries and buy a $25 Disney gift card with my Red Card. I also bought a mini Sharpie to keep with me and mark all of my Target FWP gift cards. Well, so far, I haven't seen a credit yet for the Staples purchase. I'm a little bummed because I really didn't need to buy the gift cards. I only did it because I decided to get the kids some souvenir money and I figured that spending $100 now (which is money coming out of the vacation account for next year's trip since this year's trip is already paid for) would "earn" me another $40 to put into the account for next year's trip anyways. Is there still a chance that I will eventually see a credit for the Staples purchase? Is there a delay or has it consistently been instant or not at all?

I did a $50 GC with $3 filler last week that credited on Sunday. So I linked the offer again, and tried on my way home from work yesterday for another $50 GC with $3 markers. It has still not gone to pending, even though it was the same card, same Staples, and same amount as worked on Wednesday. On Wednesday, it went to pending immediately.

Walgreens credited, too, so I also had that linked again. Drove right there after Staples didn’t work, and my $25 GC purchase showed pending before I got back to my car. Same credit card.

Maybe Staples just wasn’t working well on the last day of the offer. I’m not holding my breath for it to credit.

I tried to talk hubby into doing this but he wasn’t comfortable at all with linking a debit card. Plus we hardly ever shop at Target. Thanks for posting though! I’m still learning about all the savings methods.

Dosh is offering 5% cash back at CVS for 1 week only.

No problem! I just wanted to mention it because I’ve met people that weren’t aware of the debit card option. I’m learning too - this thread and the credit card thread have both given me lots of information!

Can't tell you how many people I have mentioned to about the debit card option and they says "I thought they only had a credit card."

 

[Marshmelo]

Well, I ordered 10 $100 GCs from BJs with my Discover card. Fingers crossed that both transactions go through!

 

[Lvsdisney]

I'm having Paypal issues (*surprise*)

Not exactly a gift card deal but I know lots familiar with PayPal issues here.

I can not add a bank account to my Paypal account. I had an old bank account on there that I deleted. I've been trying to add by usual bank account and I get caught in a verification loop. Any tricks to avoid this?

Also any other way I can payout from Paypal. I saw I could pay at target*com with paypal. So I thought I would buy a Disney GC there. But when go to checkout it only lets me use my credit card that is attached to Paypal and not my credit that is sitting there. Any tricks to get this to work?

I'm not much help but you can also use PP to pay at shopdisney dot com, so that could be an option if target isn't working.

Fingers crossed for you. Are you a member? I would love to order like in the past, but do they allow guests still?

I also need to buy 2 one-day USO tickets. I haven’t seen universal gc’s at my Kroger, but seems like I’ve seen them at others. I haven’t heard of them being at Best Buy though. @Teal03 which Kroger have you seen them at? Or at least what general area? If I can find them at Kroger during a 4x fuel points offer, I can get 14% back in fuel plus another 6% back using my Amex BCP.

I’m in Ohio (assuming you are too @MelOhioDis) and the one I *think* I saw them at was in Marysville, just northwest of Columbus. I only get over that way occasionally, but I’ll have a look next time I do.

I was half asleep when I typed my first post. They aren’t at BB so the only deal is Kroger Fuel Points + credit card bonus.

Kroger owns many stores so check to see if you have one of them in your area.

We are staying on property for the express passes and doing one day at Uni/IoA. We might do 1 day at each park but I think with an unlimited express passes both could be done in the same day if we get there at rope drop.

I do swagbucks and have the chase freedom card. I'm going to try this today when I buy my daily $100 GC at Best Buy:

5% back using chase pay app with the chase freedom card (quarterly category starting Oct 1st. BB is one of the few retailers that accept it)
7.5% swagbucks bonus when you buy $100
2% swagbucks shop & earn

Anyone try this yesterday?

 

[su_A_ve]

All 5 deals from late last week got approved. HD, Staples, Kohls, Walgreens, CVS. All pure GCs, no filler. Cashing the $50 now...

It'll work, I did it Q1 or Q2 when Chase Pay was a category too. Just did it for another Chase Pay promo that ended last week and worked fine. Have fun with it

Don't forget to add your BB number too for rewards points.

Speaking of BB rewards points, I'm not totally familiar with all the new structure, does anyone know offhand how long can you bank rewards points? Is there an expiration? We earned Elite status for next year too so I don't have to worry about losing the bank for a while but don't want to get tripped up if the have some type of expiration still.

The rewards expire. I'm elite and I think they last about two months???

Did anyone have a hard time with CC>CG transactions for the RMN deals? I was able to get 4 transactions in, but had to drive to more than 4 locations because I kept getting denied.

Can anyone also confirm if Apple Pay would work on RMN? I was hesitant to try it as the retailer does not receive your card number with mobile pay.

I have been earning BB rewards points for about 6 months and the points haven't expired for me yet. I finally earned enough points in September (hello, new washer) to generate two $5 rewards certificates. The rewards certificates expire in 2 months from issue date.

So points haven't expired in 6 months. Rewards certs expire in two months...just my experience.

Hello all! I've been out of the GC loop for awhile and have some SB to cash in. Is it still possible to purchase Disney GC with a Target GC or should I just go for PayPal?
