Disney Gift Card Deals

[mrsg00fy]

Whew. Thank you. We bought enough to use for Disney trip spending and groceries etc. but it would be difficult to use all $5400 by March!

So I bought the gift cards and signed up for the Redcard debit card online today and I have to wait 3 days until my Redcard is approved. Would anyone be worried about waiting to buy Disney gift cards with my target gift cards in say, a week from now instead of tomorrow? I guess I am scared they will change their rules but I really want the extra 5% off with my Redcard.

I'd be more concerned with them being sold out in 3 days.

Won't they come back in stock though? I have over a year until my trip so I have time. Does that change anything or should I just buy with 10% discount?

 

[MrPTato]

Oh they will come back in stock...you have plenty of time then! Some people are taking vacation in the next couple weeks, myself included.

Thanks! I'll wait then and hope that they don't change any rules in the meantime Have a great vacation!

Now what time will they be active tomorrow?

Now what time will they be active tomorrow?

10am cst

 

[My3Princez]

We don't have to redeem tomorrow, right? I can hold on to my target gift cards and order them in a month or two?

Yeah - if you don't NEED them tomorrow, I and everyone else who has a trip coming up in the near future would be very grateful if you waited a month or two.

Some info needed from all of you veterans out there (I am new to this) - is it likely that they are going to sell out of the Disney cards tomorrow? Do you think the shipping time will be longer than normal? I plan on buying them tomorrow but not sure that I will be able to do it right at 10 AM CST due to work. We leave on January 2nd for our trip so there is no way I will have time wait for them to restock. I ordered some earlier in the month on a Sunday and had them by that Friday so if they ship like they normally do I think I will be ok. My other thought was to ship them right to our Disney resort to my attention.

One other question, I know you can buy Target GC's with Target GC's, if by chance I am not able to get the Disney GC's because they sell out or something, can you buy other GC's like for restaurants that Target sells online?

Got my gift card in the email within twenty minutes tonight!

Right now they have a "Seasonal Delivery" option, which offers a free shipping upgrade if needed to get you your order prior to Christmas. Otherwise it is giving me an estimated arrival date of 12/28-31. Normally they meet the estimated delivery date. But, it's a risk, especially with holiday postal service.

Another option... have someone you trust get your mail, and then send you your gift card numbers. Then you can combine them on the Disney Gift Card site with whatever cards you have in hand.

I am trying to order some from my phone right now and am getting a "oops there was a problem, please try back later." Anyone else?

Thanks that is a great idea. Have a neighbor getting our mail anyway. Never thought about her sending met the numbers and combining them. Such great ideas on here. Thanks again

I totally get that, but I want to try to go ahead and get mine ordered in fear that 2-3 months down the road the discount might change. You just never know.

I get that too. But since the other poster asked ... well, you know ....
I went ahead and took the chance for two reasons: First, I spend money at Target anyway, so I'll use up a good chunk of what I bought without even trying. Second, if I am not able to buy Disney cards with my discounted Target cards, I can resell them for not a whole lot less than what I paid. So while it's a risk, I feel like it is more of a $30-$50 risk than a $900 risk ....

incase anyone was wondering from my earlier post, I did call discover today and asked about Target being a department store. They said no - they are a discount store and do not qualify for the 5% cashback bonus.
I ordered target gift cards online today...2 out of 6 orders were cancelled (1 with the same email, 1 from the same phone but trying to buy a mobile card). Had better success in-store. I have 5 targets within a 25 minute drive of my house. Went to each several times. Jealous of the $11k guy...next year I will be better prepared and ready to book our cruise!

Will ebates work when we apply target gift cards to buy Disney GCs?

 

[cattywampus]

I bought four $300 cards at self checkout, one right after the other in separate transactions, using cash. No one noticed or cared.

&Div: we have had varying results with Ebates. You definitely have to add something to your cart other than giftcards. Health and beauty items didn't work for me but socks/underwear did yield ebates. Others suggested they had luck with 25 cent wooden ruler.
