Disney Gift Card Deals

[Ava]

This is off topic, but have any of you that use shopkick noticed that the target giftcard option is gone?

Darn it! I was waiting to cash out until I had enough for a $25 card so I wouldn't have to combine so many small Target cards. I'll still wait, in case they come back. If not I'll cash out for Walmart or Amazon I guess.

You can buy a $25 Disney card at walmart! I was going to cash out for a $5 and combine it with one I got from Mobee and a swagbucks one. Now I'm just going to keep on saving! haha

Do you get cashback when you buy eBay gc on target.com with Target gc? I've heard people mentioning buying ruler on target to get ebate credits. Were they referring to this step?

Yes, you can. if you read through this thread a little bit, you'll find it explained!

Kroger has 4x fuel points (at least in the mid atlantic) fri-sun with digital coupon! Time to buy enough target gift cards to pay off my August cruise!

Just out of curiosity how much is 4x fuel points? We don't have Kroger in Pittsburgh. I'm assuming it is probably roughly equivalent to our giant eagle double fuel perks promotions (40 cents off per gallon of gas for every $100 spent on gift cards) as I think they are both stores that sell cards from gift card mall.

I was going to ask how this worked, we do not have either option in our area. Is there a limit on the $ spent on GC and does the discount on gas roll over or get banked until you use it? I'm so jealous!

Quick off topic request for information. Are there any cashback/rebate offers for any companies that sell WDW tickets? TIA

I think you can get $2.50 off for UT through ebates but not sure about any others

For me it's 14%. Depends on your credit card rewards (mine is 6% back) and how much fuel you use in one fill up (my van takes 20 gallons so that's $8 of free gas for every $100 of gift cards). I'll buy $800 worth because I already have 700+ fuel points and I can't use over 4,000 by 3/31 when these will expire.

No limit. But they only last through the end of the next month. It's too bad Sunday isn't 3/1 or these would last through 4/30. But they will probably run a two week long special around Easter.

So at Giant Eagle we earn $0.10 off per gallon of gas, up to a 30 gallon max fill in a single transaction, per $50 spent in store (gift cards and groceries except things excluded by law like milk). However they often run "double fuel perks" promotions on gift cards. Sometimes it is all gift cards (except giant eagle/getgo) and sometimes it is only certain ones. Then you get $0.20 per gallon per $50 spent.
That's $0.40 per $100 which could be up to 12% "cash back" in the form of discounted/free fuel (depending on how big your gas tank is and/or if you fill gas can(s) at the same time) but you have to use giant eagle gas stations (called getgos). There are lots of them around where I live. Combine that with a good credit card cash back program (like 5-6%) and you could potentially save 18% just buying your Disney gift cards at giant eagle. If you buy target and then turn them into Disney using the 5% online discount (or when target ran the bonus $5 target cards for buying Disney cards in store) and you can get over 20% savings with no eBay churning.
I am not aware of a limit of gift cards you can buy over time as a lot of people will buy $1000s of Lowes or Home Depot when they have large purchases to make there but there are signs saying you cannot purchase over $10,000 in a single day. If you have a lot of fuel perks it will only deduct the cost of gas from your total when you redeem it (if you have $5 but gas is $2.50 it will deduct $2.50 when you redeem). You have until the end of the month two months later to redeem or you lose them. For example what you earn in Feb must be used by April 30.

Oh that stinks you only have until the end of the next month with Kroger. We have until the end of 2 months later. So all the fuel perks I got from the the target cards I recently purchased with the Valentine's Day sale are good until April 30.

Kroger runs a deal almost monthly so it works okay but it would be great to have one more month.

Giant eagle does run a lot of deals too but it is not always all gift cards. Sometimes it is a specific category or even select cards (like 7-8). Sometimes it is double fuel perks some times is it a mail in rebate to gift card mall. Once last year it was actually $10 off groceries on a future visit for every $100 spent (plus regular fuel perks). That was a great deal as you could combine the $10 coupons and use 5 to get $50 of groceries (or more). However those $10 coupons had a short expiration date (2 weeks I think) so had to make sure to not overbuy gift cards.

In the past, I have bought tickets through Orbitz using the Ebates portal when they had a daily double promotion on activities. Today it's at 3.75%, which isn't bad. Maybe check Travelocity or Expedia too; sometimes they have buy 4 days get 3 free or something similar.

Hi I tried placing a order thru ebay for the 100$ target giftcard for 95$ last night with a ebay giftcard. They had me go all the way thru PayPal and eventually went back to the ebay screen saying a limit was reached. I never order before but I assumed they must of sold out. Is there anyway for me to check that money wasn't taking off of my ebay giftcard? Thanks

You could put something big in your cart, start to pay for it, apply the certificate and see that it works. It will. If you close out before you "Complete Order" the cards are not deducted and they remain open to use with any Paypal account. I have had many orders go close to completing and back out, and the money never comes off the cards. If the money *had* come off the card, you'd be able to see that in your Paypal transaction history.

Looks like GCM has sold out of the $100 Target GCs for $95. They had 10,000 to sell and there are zero left. I'm glad that I bought mine on Monday. My shipping notice was in my email this morning.

 

[Vernie822]

10,000, wow! So glad we all got ours when we did. Thanks to whoever posted the tip, otherwise I wouldn't have known.
