Disney Gift Card Deals

I would call and ask them. They should be able to tell you.

It looks like even if they include 05/12 as day one, your 120 mark is 09/08 which is one day past your 60 day fastpass window starting.

I'm ok with not doing FP ON the 60 day mark but would like to do it as close as possible. I emailed them about a week ago and no response. I'll call. Thanks!

No help there She said, "I think it would be May 13th as the first day." She didn't sound like she had the exact answer. Then she said "Once you've hit the threshhold of spending an icon will pop up." But that didn't help me either.

Once you add two in there separately, there's a button that says "combine" and you just click that and which one you want to combine.

Just as an FYI, I find that when I add gift cards on my cell phone through target, they do not show up in my saved cards on the target website on my desktop. I have to open my target app and get the gift card number and access number off of it and input it on line. Never had any issues with them combining or not working once I type them in, they just don't show up as saved. I've combined over $100 worth now and haven't had any issue

Thanks, I don't see a combine button on mine? I open target, then hit account, then my gift cards, then it just shows my 2 gift card with a + in the upper right corner to add another. What am i missing?

You might need to click on one of the gift cards to see the combine button. I sadly don't have any target gift cards right now, otherwise I'd pull mine up to check!

This is exactly how you will find the combine button.

Weird, I must have been on the wrong app/page. I just went to my target app. I couldn't combine on the My GiftCards page. But on the bottom right of that page there was a link to click if you are looking for previous gift cards. When i did that it opened a whole new webpage and i could combine on that page. Glad i found it, thanks to everyone for there help! ")

Oh my gosh. It sounds like they employ the same people as target.com, lol.
If it where me and I wasn't concerned about the FP's I would wait until 09/09 just to be safe.

This is what I had to do to combine mine

Just got an email that Kroger is doing 4x fuel points today/Sat/Sun!! Looks like there is a downloadable coupon for it. Yay!

P.S. One time use only.

I had to post this.....

I keep a spreadsheet (like all good budget-boarders do) , showing how much I've ACTUALLY spent on gift cards, what their actual value is, and then the final amount of Disney gift cards I purchased. This includes all of my "FREE" gift cards earned from SwagBucks, Perk and the "free with purchase" gift cards from Target. I'm saving for our trip in October 2016 so I have plenty of time to maximize my free cards, thereby maximizing my amount saved.

So far I have SPENT $322.99 on Target gift cards. Those Target gift cards have a combined value of $521.30 and I have purchased $550 in Disney gift cards. That means I have saved over 40% so far... or $225. If I am able to keep going, my $4700 budget will only "cost" about $2800!

I do the same thing. I made my last payment to Disney yesterday, and then showed my husband the spreadsheet, and he was blown away. I wasn't able to save as much as you, but it was still enough to cover our park passes for 3 days.

Can you explain the eBay deal? Is eBay still offering that deal that everyone was getting about a month ago?

The deal involved discounted electronic ebay GCs on Target .com ($90 for a $100 GC, plus an additional 5% off if you had the REDCard as your default form of payment) which was then used to purchase Target physical GCs from an ebay merchant (originally $95 for a $100 GC w/free shipping, later it was $100 for a $100 Target GC + $2.95 for shipping). That deal is over. However, if you can find ebay GCs at a discount from another source or if Target ever brings them back on their website, you could do the same thing. Some of us who got in on the deal early were able to cycle our new Target GCs through the deal a second time before Target .com ran out of eBay GCs.

I'm not great at spreadsheets, but I keep a "frugality" list where I track the number of swagbucks I've earned and when I redeem gift cards from them, mPlaces, and Shopkicks. I just started this at the beginning of July and already have $200 in Disney gift cards with $0 out of pocket!

I don't keep spreadsheets, either, but I did keep track how I did with the recent Target/ebay/Target/Disney GC deal. I turned $850 worth of Target GCs (which I had earned through Perk, SB, Shopkick and a rewards CC) into $1100 worth of Target GCs which were then used to purchase $1150 worth of Disney GCs with change to spare on my remaining Target GC. That doesn't even count the ebay bucks earned or the shopping rewards from Mypoints.

Yay for free money! I'm taking my sister to the F&W Festival later this month and it's barely costing me anything!

A little off topic, but the local Targets here in South Florida have Universal Studios Gift Cards. I'm not seeing them online, are they in store only or out of stock online? I'm new to the Red Card and gift card buying.

I have only got a average of 16% off of the ones I have bought so far, so I am really going to try to keep my average % off to at least 15-16%. Would love to get to 20% off. But I will have around $800-$900 worth of free Disney Visa Rewards when we go back, if we wait until late 2016 anyways. Less if we go sooner.

Thank you for the tip on combining Target gift cards. You all are the Jedi Masters of this craft!

Does anyone know of an online or app method to combine WalMart gift cards? All the info I can find says go to the store and buy one large WM gift card using the smaller ones. I have a lot of $5 and $10 ecards from this or that app.

You can actually buy them online and they offer free shipping. Theres a maximum number of GCs that you can use though...so I usually combine the max number of cards by buying an e-gift card, get that within a few hours, then rinse and repeat until they're all combined. The last one, i get a physical gift card.
