Disney Gift Card Deals

[Narnia_girl]

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.

Love your plan for paying off the trip using rewards like this. The only change I personally would make is not keeping that 2200 SB buffer for the next month. People sometimes get banned or their accounts deactivated on SB and they lose their earnings; or they could change the rate/worth of SB on a whim. Like I said, it's just me, but I barely get above 2200 and cash out, then barely get above 2500 and cash out....repeat.

If I lost $25, it wouldn't end me. I like knowing that I have enough to cash out for $25 right at the beginning of the next month. Maybe it is silly, but it helps me see the progress right away that month and it helps motivate me to earn as much as possible to see how much more I can get that month, I guess.

These are good resources. I don't mean to take over the feed with Swagbucks talk, but these are more related to earning gift cards towards Disney than with the specifics of how to earn.

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

 

[kidsfirsttrip]

So, I am trying to purchase $300 in Target GCs on Ebay. I am using a $200 Ebay GC and a $100 Ebay GC purchased from Target. My Target order was delivered to my email with the GC codes. One of them (the $100 one) is working. When I put in the $200 GC code, it tells me "We can't apply this code to your order." Any experience with this!?

eBay GCs from Target.com delivered by e-mail are not instantly activated. Time ranges from 4 hours to a whole day. Did you just receive the GC codes from Target?

Then leave the SB discussion for the SB thread. It's one thing to mention using it for churning or extra rewards for purchasing Disney GCs. It's another thing to clutter this thread up with general discussions on how to earn, how to redeem or when to redeem on any particular rewards program. The last four pages have been overrun with SB discussions to the point where it's harder to follow the Disney GC discussion.

JMO, but I agree with @PerfessorZ on this point.

Right! Usually it will give you a message saying it's not yet activated. I purchased them on the same order, so I don't know why one would work and the other wouldn't.

Is it possible that you have hit that magic $5K GC purchase limit on ebay?

 

[Vernie822]

I've only done this once before and I purchased $400 that time.

If you remove the $100 one, does the $200 work?

I'm gonna try that. I found that after I entered my PayPal account is when the $200 stops working. But I think I've figured it out. My paypal username is using one email. I have another email I use for random stuff such as coupons and store emails. I sent one of the eBay GCs there so as to "switch things up" and not make it seem like I'm buying a ton of eBay GCs for myself. Well- that address is different from my PayPal address. I bet that's why it's not working!

Probably not.

I have one email address for PayPal, another one for eBay and then yet a third one that I use for Target and other online purchases. The only problem that I have run into with the ebay GCs purchased on Target .com is the the delay in activation.

Maybe it takes longer for the $200.00 to activate since it's a different amount GC? I did noticed that my $200.00 "shipped" e-mail took longer than my $100.00s

Good point! I need to not be so antsy. I'll try it again in a bit.

 

[JohnDaleswife]

The app is still telling me that the few gifts cards that I have left are invalid. (A whopping $1.12). If anyone has a theroy as to why this all of a sudden happened, feel free to chime in. As long as the desktop version will still work for me, I'm good. Just puzzled.

 

[Cydney]

I find it interesting that people ask and give details about getting target gift cards from ebay, kroger, raise, giftcard zen, getting the ebates exception etc but when people have questions about swagbucks people get upset that the conversation is on here. I did try to pull the conversation over to the swagbucks thread yesterday when it started to get more specific. I agree that the more in depth discussions should be over there, but this page has actually turned more into "Gift Card Churning" than it is "Disney gift card deals".

 

[adudeinblue]

I was curious, so I applied the $200.00 GC I purchased last night around 10 PM PST. So it's 11:00 AM PST now and it worked for me when I put in multiple different eBay GCs ($100 and $200). So for sure the mechanics work. I'm certain that it will activate in time.

Raise gc's.... they all seem to be e gift cards.... this is legit?
