What is the advantage of doing this versus more target cards? Just to get a faster flip? Just curious if there is more to the digital gift card route than I realized.
Faster flip, and gift cards that don't go through target, making it potentially less likely to get banned from there(?).What is the advantage of doing this versus more target cards? Just to get a faster flip? Just curious if there is more to the digital gift card route than I realized.
allows you to double flip, say you got 1k ebay gift card, ebay > gamestop > ebay > target you get 200 ebay bucks. instead of just getting 100, since gamestop ships gift cards by email.
Do you have to take those to a GameStop store to get them back to eBay gc?
I was able to call and get the additional ebucks after the purchase. The representative I dealt with was very nice. I told him where the banner was and he said he saw it and that I was eligible but he didn't know why I didn't get the notification in my messages. Only took about 10 minutes.can anyone clarify? If you purchase through the 5x ebay bucks banner in the gift cards section will they credit you after the fact. It seems odd they would have it there and then not activate it during that session. I have tried going through it and going through the checkout process to the last screen but it still gives the standard 2%
But then you also lose the 5 percent redcard discount unless you do ebay-gamestop- ebay-target-ebay , correct?Faster flip, and gift cards that don't go through target, making it potentially less likely to get banned from there(?).

Very much yes..the small amount is to try and get ebates to trigger money back to you. Also don't forget to use a redcard to trigger 5% off your total. IE select your eBay cards under payment select your red card enter info then go back and add your target gift card as payment..your purchase total will reduce 5%Okay-I just jumped in! I received the 10% offer for Ebucks today. I went through Ebates and bought a $100 Target gc. I received $10 in Ebucks. Paid with Paypal with my Disney Visa as the default payment for another 1%. So, when I get the Target GC, I'll buy an Ebay gc. Then use that to buy another Target GC with a small item added to cart. I think I have it the process, right? I read through most of the thread. I'm just starting with $100 to get the hang of the process, then will try with a little more later. Our trip isn't until next summer, so I want to start slow.

Correct, but I already spent $2000 through target on giftcards this month, so I am not comfortable doing more. All the non-target giftcards I get do not having shipping costs.But then you also lose the 5 percent redcard discount unless you do ebay-gamestop- ebay-target-ebay , correct?![]()
You don't have to purchase anything additional to get the 5% redcard. I often don't, in fact, in order to not have them spend more on shipping than the extra item I would have bought would actually cost.you have to purchase an item other than gift cards to get the 5% redcard discount.

yupSo are you taking the digital gamestop card into gamestop , buying a physical ebay card then buying Target on ebay?

Mostly right. GCM doesn't have digital gc's. Paypal digital gifts is the one with the digital giftcards. They have a $1000 limit every 30 days (rolling). So, you could get $500 in game stop, use that to get $500 in ebay, and then do it again, and you'd make $100 off the 2 trips to gamestop. You might want to consider how far you have to drive to get to gamestop if you are looking to do smaller amounts per churn.Okay, just peeking here, haven't read all the day's posts, but darn it there isn't another 5x promo! and my cards still aren't here(stamping my feet as I bought early in the day on that last one just for this reason of another last min offer!), but finally shipped, but wont' arrive till Thursday after the promo! Ugh! But, did notice all this talk of gamestop cards. And some gc's not going thru target is good! So, I'm checking to clarify some things if some could help please.
So, what I'm seeing, I think, is that I could go to GCM and buy say $300 in gc's, digital gc's that they will send to my email, so I can use them from my phone. Then I go to my local gamestop store and buy $300 of ebay gc's. And then I come home and can do another round and buy $300 more in GCM Gamestop cards, and go back again and buy more, and maybe flip again! Is that all correct? Eventually then I'd take a round and buy Target cards to convert to Disney cards, right? (Being that I;m in this to eventually convert for my trip). I did call my local Gamestop and they did say I could buy Ebay gc's, $25 - $500 with a digital gamestop on my phone. He did say to read it to be sure it does that but he did say they allow that.
So, any of you who are doing this, it seems this may be a good option for now to add some Ebay bucks with a little flipping, lol. Do I have the process down right? And if they allow the purchase, as he said they do, all should go well and I'll make some ebay bucks?
Hopefully the ebay bucks will show up, DD25 got this offer(i did not but i'm at the $500 limit), I see some are having trouble getting the bucks to show.
Which credit card do you use? I've been using Delta Amex for free flights, but the flight times has been really restricted the past 6 months or so.
