Disney Gift Card Deals

Are you in the lower 48?

Yes, PA

Question for those who use Giftcardmall on Ebay:
Have any of you had your shipment arrive postage due? When you already paid for the shipping as part of the order?
Just happened to me AGAIN, twice in about 2-3 weeks. They escalated my first complaint to their "team" for review but i have not heard back a thing as of yet. Just emailed them again about today's shipment.
My husband is furious and wants me to stop ordering from them.

Goodness! How many GCs are you ordering at a single time for them to be arriving postage due? I've never had that happen but I tend to keep my orders small.

 

[Vernie822]

That is so strange. We are in PA too. I have ordered from them numerous times - the highest I have ever gone is $600.

 

[TheDisneyDoll]

Me too! I was hoping for a good offer tomorrow, one more churn through & I'll be a good girl until it's time to cash in my Ebay bucks.

And even if you can't churn, can you put Target gift cards (on Ebay) on your Visa, and then use those Target cards for Disney gift cards? Like a mini-churn?

Definitely! Even if it's only 2% cash back its something. If I don't get anything by next monday that's what i'll be doing.

First order was 2 ($100 each); this one is a $100 and $150 ($250 total). So I am thinking amount is not the issue. I think it's either GCM messing up somewhere on their electronic postage OR my local post office. I am trying to figure out where the problem lies. Anyone here know anything about those postage scanners the mailman/lady uses?
I have successfully received the two other orders from them without issue.
Oh boy, just when I was getting the churning down pat....

 

[Eighty8Keys]

That is so strange. How much are we talking about? If it's under $1 I would be annoyed but would likely just pay it. If we're talking about more than that I'd be a bit more irritated.

GCM is great as long as things go smoothly. When things don't, it's a pain to deal with them.

First was 3.98 and this one is 5.31. I paid the first time; it was an Ebucks promotion timeframe and I just wanted the cards for churning ASAP. I am still waiting for a resolution on that one. I'll most likely pick up this order tomorrow after work and bite the bullet. I am giving them a reasonable amount of time to rectify the issue; otherwise I'll go through ebay for action.

ETA Unless my mailman wrote it wrong on the notice, the postage should have been 5.98. That's what I paid when I ordered.

That's awful. They don't seem to be putting any postage at all on your packages.

 

[kidsfirsttrip]

Nope
I have been doing Mypoints for a while and have the routine down pat. So I doubt it is user error twice.

I last got credit on a Target order placed 3/15, I placed 2 orders since one on 3/17 and one 3/18 and no credit either. Darn it, I really prefer MyPoints to adding the extra item to get ebates.

I would be super annoyed. I cannot figure out why this is happening for you. I've never had this happen. So sorry!

 

[techslacker]

i've thought about throwing one together, but to put it in a video it would be super basic information on how to start.

The age old question comes into play...is it better to post easy instructions on how to exploit this system via a platform that reaches more people on average so that more will better understand and do it or is it better to keep it reigned in so that it doesn't get anymore abused and thus shutdown?

Personally, I think a majority of us learned how to do this ourselves without a step by step. Asked a few questions, read through pages and pages of posts. I once thought a step by step would be nice to help others, because I really like helping others plan Disney trips and save money. But if I/we did all this work myself (ourselves) to get this far, why should we give away our "secrets" to others? Work hard to learn, ask some questions, you'll find the benefits in all of this.


(Sorry if that was harsh. Every now and then I get a little bit feisty. Lol)

@TheDisneyDoll, please don't make a video.

On the one hand, this kind of information is not secret, and we all learned from someone else, and I and many others here don't mind sharing and helping others out. But that's different than putting a video out there that will be viewed by thousands, or potentially millions of people, who might take your basic information and misuse it.

What's great about this thread is that everyone who offers advice talks about weighing risks and churning responsibly. And we're here to explain, troubleshoot, and offer up our thoughts and experiences for more unique situations and strategies.

I worry that by putting out a video with just basic information will give just enough knowledge to get someone into trouble, and possibly draw unwanted attention to the rest of us using this process.

I'm really happy that Ebay has Staples $100 gc for $85 right now. I think I'm going to wait for tommorrow, hoping for extra ebucks promo. I buy canned juices(orange,apple,grape) and snacks from Staples all the time. The stuff I buy is never on sale so I buy $20-$30 off Staples coupons on Ebay for about $5. You can only use these coupons for regular priced items. Staples has little cans of 100% grape juices, 48 ct for $30. It's really hard to find 100% grape juice any more. It's usually 100% juice but 1st ingrediant is apple. Also if you eat gluten free, there's nuts, chips, beef jerky. Don't forget shopping portal.
Last week I tried and failed at buying Disney gc at B&M Staples w/ Staples gc.

I agree, @TheDisneyDoll . No video please!!!!

If this gets shut down it will b/c of overuse and abuse. Yes, lots of people know about this already but honestly, most people don't. I really only discuss it here (and I do expect people to do a bit of work on their own and then ask specific questions) and I have one family member I have taught it to. But that is it. I don't go spreading this all over to anyone who might be interested. The more people we share it with, the more likely it is to be shut down.

But again, I will help anyone who wants help in figuring it out. Provided they go back and read to gain a basic understanding.

I agree, I have been on this board for years and just started churning this winter. Before that I only used the target to Disney method. The information and friendly people here were key to me giving it a try. I think it's great to help each other out but don't think a utube video would be a good idea.

 

[DomesticKrys]

I've already seen a video about using raise, ebates, swagbucks, target gift cards and DVA. It doesn't have many views but I saw it a few months ago. It's not a secret but many people won't do it because either they don't know about it or think it's too much work.

I don't see any upside of doing a video. You're giving away information and getting nothing back and it may cost you future savings. Sure there are people here that don't offer much but it seems like most of us have something to contribute from time to time.

This all the way...

It would only require one of those clickbait facebook news sites to get a hold of the video and make it viral for then to ruin it for us all.
