Disney Gift Card Deals

[havaneselover]

It seems the Easter 4x fuel points at Kroger is a one time use only digital coupon. Used mine yesterday and now it's gone

I know we can't use our gift cards to rent dvc points, but what about going through a travel agent? Are they accepted as payment by, for example, TA's that offer certain magical deals???

It says unlimited use????

Some TAs will take your GC #s and pay for your reservation for you. That's because they get paid their commission by Disney. However, there are others who won't. I don't use a TA but I'm pretty sure that I know what TA you're talking about. I've seen at least one post that says they will accept GCs but you should go directly to the source and drop them an email.

This is WAY less time-consuming than couponing! (Granted, I don't do perk, swagbucks, etc.) But when I couponed, I would spend HOURS. It was worth it at the time because we were really on a crunch budget. But once things loosened up, I decided my time was worth more than the return I was getting from coupons. Now, I just coupon in the things we regularly buy and that are regularly BOGO, especially cereal. We go through a TON of cereal!

I absolutely agree! I would seriously spend 2 hours a day on it. Just to stock up on things we probably wouldn't buy at the grocery store. After a few months I stopped buying things we wouldn't use - we were giving our families a lot of things we don't use, but even so we would end up with 30 tubes of toothpaste WHO needs all that toothpaste!? Lol. I totally agree, time is worth more than the return in our case as well. I'll still use a good coupon now and then, and BOGO deals are my favorite, but shopping the sales is way less time consuming!

My coupon says "unlimited use"! So maybe go back and see if you can download another one.

And yes, the "magical deals" TA takes Disney GCs and Disney Dream Reward $s. Basically, they accept any form of payment that Disney does. ETA: I am currently working with them for our next trip.

Me too-just used the DVA to pay off my trip the other day
I know others have had problems but knock on wood I never have and the $20/$1000 spent is a nice perk.

So I followed all the advice and set everything up in Ebay, making sure I am set up to receive the promotion emails.

But it seems like some people have yet to see these 4x offers. Do you guys recommend I just go ahead and start without one, or should I wait? My trip is in November so I have some time but not a lot.

I personally think that if you're comfortable with the amount you're profiting (Ebates + Ebay bucks less shipping costs), go for it. For example, if you start with $300 (2 $150 cards), you'll earn $6 in Ebay bucks, $3 in Ebates for a total of $9 and you'll pay $3.98 to ship. So you're looking at a profit of $5 from just the one Ebay transaction. I did a few at the regular 1x before I started receiving the bonus offers.

Hmmm....this looks interesting! I rarely shop at Rite Aid but there is one right down the street. I'm looking to purchase a $100 item from eBay tomorrow so, if I read this offer correctly, I could make (2) purchases of $50 eBay gift cards and earn a total of 1600 Plenti points...and possibly an additional 1000. At a minimum, that is a 16% "rebate" that I can use to buy some household stuff from Rite Aid. Perhaps I should be more diligent in using my Plenti card...I could save up Plenti points and use them at Macy's for the Dooney bag that I can't afford.

We signed up for Plenti when we got an offer for some bonus points, but we haven't really used it. I need to take the time to read up on how it works. I do believe we have $5 free gas at Exxon or something right now. One more thing to keep track of . . .

This is a good idea. I also recommend spacing them out a bit, especially if you are going to earn Ebates (you'll need to add a small item to your order in order to get Ebates). I usually try to only do one transaction per day. Don't forget to get the 5% Red Card discount if you have one!

Thanks I'll space them out a bit and go through beats to get the extra 2% cash back. I have a red card that is how this whole save money inDisney idea started .

Good points!

Another hint: Choose "signature required" for delivery if you can be home to accept it. The GCs will come via UPS. Otherwise, they will be sent via USPS SmartPost. UPS delivery has always been quicker and with fewer problems for me. You can also verify that the package has not been opened and emptied by someone else when you sign for the package.

Thanks for the tip I will make sure I choose signature required. I am home all day so it shouldn't be a problem.

The theory on not getting the eBay #X promotions until you earn $5 in eBucks is an interesting one, but doesn't apply to me. I signed up on or before 2/22/2016 and have earned $41 in eBucks since then, I have yet to see a promotion and I have been checking e mail, spam, and eBay banners every day. I am hoping that once I start spending the eBucks that will trigger something, we will see.

At this point I have a lot of time before I have to get serious about this- our trip isn't until next year and I already have most of what I need for tickets and food- we are renting DVC points so I can't use gift cards for that. Anything extra I save will just be held on to for the next trip

I don't think it applies. I have $7 on ebucks and I didn't receive the offer. Honestly I never looked at the ebucks offers before so I don't know if they ever send me any. I know all the settings for communication are marked rights since I checked last night.

These Kroger fuel points coupons have been so screwy lately. It should be unlimited use (I did 2 transactions yesterday and received the 4x on both). I have found customer service at Kroger to be great. I would give them a call and have them reinstate your coupon. Either that, or just call them if you try to buy more gift cards but don't get the bonus points. They have always been willing to make adjustments for me.

I had the same issue yesterday. I tried it with the desktop site and on my phone and neither would work. I just logged out and back in, and kept trying, eventually it worked.

PITA!!!

Mines not on there anymore but there wasn't any fine print on it that I could see. I'll have to double check the ad. Maybe customer service can put mine back on my account. Hope so!

Thanks everybody!

So this is weird but when I went to the app and clicked on mine to view the details it disappeared. I went to the website and added it back to my card and it still doesn't show up. But I can see it on the website as being there. Really odd.

Catching up...
I saw other people responded, but I'll chime in that I've done several orders with $200 and $100 (but not multiples of each), and I haven't had a problem so far. And as for asking for email of recipient, getting an email, etc., sometimes I have to enter it for every card, sometimes only one. I send it to my alternate email, and sometimes it comes through and then sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's pretty par for the course for Target's IT.

I'm going to try this.

I tried again this morning with 2x200 and 1x100, but the order was canceled again. Three canceled orders now! My order for just our shopping list items went through last night, though. Strangely, I received Ebates for all of the canceled orders (which I expect will be corrected eventually.)

Although I've read about other people having issues with the $200 cards, I've never had problems until last night.

The good news is that there's a good chance that Ebates won't catch the cancellation and you'll get credit for the order anyway.

Just got a Groupon email for a $50 Target gift card for $40. (Not as good as the $20 for $10....but saving $10 is saving $10!!!)

Also, Groupon usually has a high rebate % on portal sites. If you take advantage of the deal, take advantage of using a portal!

I went to Groupon and couldn't find this. Do I have to get the email? I have an account.

Yes, you have to get invited by email for these deals, usually.

...which also means that you can't go through a shopping portal like ebates to get cash back.
