Disney Gift Card Deals

[Alice Sr.]

Yes, I get about $300 a month from swagbucks, perk, shopkick etc. I used to redeem the first swagbucks as target because it is discounted and the rest PayPal to buy discounted target cards. Then churn from there to get more bang for my buck. Lately I've just been doing all target to skip the discount sites just in case. The benefit of using those sites is that even though I do spend time getting those rewards, I don't spend any of my regular income.

Wow, I had no idea, that's awesome!

I sure wish I could figure out how to do what you are doing. I have been diligently doing SB's for over a month and still only at just over 2000 SB's lol! Sounds like you are doing amazing!

Oh, and I love your avatar pic. That baby is so precious!! Makes me smile every time I see her.

I know, I love her pic too, so cute.

What do you mean 'just does the apps'? Like playing all these movie clips? My dh would find all this stupid too lol! No doubt about it. But I may try to get my dh signed up also!

Yes, he just runs the mobile apps for 86 points each day. I also earn 9 sb each day because I get a referral bonus on his earnings. When there are bonus rounds, he earns more and I also get more referral points. Because he doesn't earn much each day, his daily goals are usually low and so sometimes he also gets enough points for his first goal bonus. From just running the apps, he earned about $30 last month.

So they pay you cash? How often do you get paid then? Can you do it all from home?

So I got an email from Ebates telling me what my next payment will be, actually only my second one! They must have cut off after January as my pending from February 1st isn't included, but still pending. They do seem to have paid out on two cancelled orders. Says payout date is 2/15. The email also said I can get 15% more if I take payment in an Egift card. Not sure what kind of an egift card they mean. Where would I be able to use it, can I use it to buy gift cards? Has anyone done this? Also, anyone know when the next payout would probably be then after 2/15?
TIA!

Swagbucks you earn points and then you can redeem them for giftcards or paypal. You do it on the computer or mobile apps. You can cash out as small as $5. There is a swagbucks thread on here with lots of info about it.

Like Cydney posted, the payout in Feb is from the last quarter of 2015, so Oct 1-Dec 31. I took a look at the ecards they are offering a bonus on. There was nothing I was interested in and nothing that could further my Disney fund. So, I am taking my rebate as a Paypal payment. In the past, they used to offer a bonus to take the rebate as an Amazon GC but that was not on the list for this time.

Thanks, I'll have to check out the swag bucks thread. Not sure I wanna put a bunch of time into it, but it does sound like you can make a good bit of free money which would be good. Do you use your own regular smart phone? Or maybe an iPad or laptop? Can you do on two devices at once?

Hopefully someone will know about the Egift cards. The first check I got was about $8, purchase made in Nov and the check is dated 12/25/15 so that Seems weird with the listed payout schedule(haven't cashed it yet, lol).

Thanks, we doe! Interesting, so I'll just take cash I guess, since nothing would help my Disney fund, lol. Is it better or more helpful to take a paypal payment instead of cash?

I have received payouts from ebates that did not line up with their payout schedule. If you are new to ebates, your payout may have varied. I always take paypal rather than a gift card. Years ago, I took Amazon but they gave a bonus to do so and I could use it. The new ecards they are offering are pretty useless to me.

Just churned my $200 EBay card into $200 Target cards. They should arrive around the 15th.

I had 3 target eBay orders cancelled. Then I got order delayed until 2/11 not sure what's going on......

Your account is probably flagged for suspicious activity. To prevent getting completely banned: Lower the amount you order and spread them out.

Are you ordering $200 eBay cards? Every time I order the $200 ones, my order gets cancelled by Target.

 

[Vernie822]

I know we've gone over this a few times but I just want to be 100% certain. What items, other than rulers, have others added to earn Ebates on Target's website when purchasing GC's!? We're getting married this fall and I'm thinking of adding some Thank You notes.. I'll have to buy them at some point anyways.


ETA: Ooh, I need labels too for save the dates!

Are you talking about your eBay orders with GCM for Target GC? Someone earlier mentioned that they had orders cancelled because of stock. And another member mentioned that the area where GCM is located is slowly started to get back in order because of snow in Colorado.

I agree. I started ordering small batches over night when I get to bed. And see what is emailed to me when I wake up nowadays.

I just got one $200.00 eBay GC processed with an email code this morning. It seems like it's a hit or miss for people.

Yes $200 ones. Do you have better luck with lesser amounts?

The eBay gc's from target using red card default and paying with a gc.

Thanks for responding to all of you! So what is better about taking Paypal instead of cash payout, what s the advantage there? Thx!
I was afraid to click the link incase u was stuck with that option and didn't want it, lol!

Yes, my order goes thru fine when I order $100 eBay cards from Target. I have never been able to order a $200 one.

So they pay you cash? How often do you get paid then? Can you do it all from home?

You can get paid cash through Paypal. You usually accrue your points in real time, though some points take some time to credit. Once you have enough points, you can cash out whenever you want. It takes a few days to get paid. And you can do this all from home.

Each SB is equal to 1 penny and there are different options for cashing out. For the first $25 gift card each month, it costs 2200 SB which is the equivalent of $22. For DH, I cash out each month for a $25 Target gift card. Since he doesn't make as much as me, this is usually it until he has extra saved up over time.

For me, I get the first $25 Target gift card for 2200 SB then I cash out for a Paypal credit at a 1:1 cost. (but I always leave a 2200 SB buffer for the next month). I then transfer the Paypal credit to my Ally bank account and hold the money until I find opportunities to purchase "clean" discounted Target cards. Then I will start using these cards for churning through eBay/Target for extra money. My goal for our 2018 trip is to make no cash investment at all, but rather to use sources of extra income from Swagbucks, Ibotta, etc. So far I have over $600 from saving just a little over 1 month. Not all months will be that good, since I had some lucky income, but I am off to a good start now.
