Disney Gift Card Deals

[Eighty8Keys]

So my target gift cards are finally about to be delivered. For those that churned from Target to Ebay today.. How's the turnaround time been?

I placed a Target order for three $200 eBay gift cards 45 minutes ago and they arrived about 10 minutes ago. Waiting for my second order to arrive which was placed 15 minutes after the first.

Pro would earn 10,000 points and Free would earn 5,000.

Those are the normal number right? OP said rewards were doubled until 8/31.

It takes about a day, sometimes two for the points to reflect in your account. I received 8,000 points today for everything churned yesterday.

You have to make sure they associate your account with the purchase. Gamestop employees are usually good about asking for your number, though to sell you the Pro membership.

How much did you purchase for the 8k and was it free or pro? Trying to decide if upgrading to pro is worth it. We are churning $1k through today and will churn $2k through during bucks promos in April and May once the rolling limit starts over for each account.

ETA: Just to clarify, is the pro $14.99/mo, a year or one-time fee? The website doesn't say.

I'm pro since I buy a lot at Gamestop. I think free is 1/2 the amount of points. If you buy a lot of games, pro is really good. If you buy a lot of new games, Gamers Club Unlocked at Best Buy is even better (20% new games, even 20% off on sale games).

I churned $800 in total so far to get the 8,000 points which I believe is double the normal amount. Pro is $15 a year or 15,000 points on a free account.

EDIT: If you're planning on flipping games, pro is totally worth it. I'll post on here when Gamestop has good used games flips to store credit to help you guys out with trading games, if you want to go this route.. One of the employees I was talking to, said that they're planning on taking out gift cards from the POS systems to purchase with gift cards, so this may be short lived.

It has my power up rewards number on the receipt, but the available points listed are the same as from my last purchase a couple of months ago. Wouldn't the points from today be listed on the receipt? I'd love to be wrong about this

How quickly do you get the Gamestop digital cards that you purchase on eBay? If they're quick I'll try for a fast churn tonight, otherwise I'll just purchase Target with the eBay cards I have and try Gamestop next time.

I think mine took about 20-30 minutes to show up today.

Speaking of game flips... this is hopefully going to be good. Keep your certificates.

Thanks! Depending on how quickly my eBay cards from Target get delivered, I may just get to churn through Gamestop after all!

It takes a day or two to show up. You won't see it instantly on the receipt. You'll see it online soon

 

[DIS_MERI]

So, I ordered paypal digital gift cards yesterday and brought my total to $985 in the last 30 days. I was able to order $75 more today, so I am at $1060. Don't really need to push it any further, but might try anyway, lol. After all, I have $.10 in ebay bucks limit I'm leaving on the table

It takes a day or two to show up. You won't see it instantly on the receipt. You'll see it online soon

Ohhhh, fingers crossed! I will have some very happy teen boys if I get the points

OK, I'm still totally confused lol. The website says 10 points per $ for free members and 20 points per $ for Pro members, so it seems like you should have gotten 16k points. Also, I don't know if the numbers on the website include the double rewards promo or if there is even a double rewards promo since I can't find anything about it on the website. I think I'm going to sign up for the free one today, see if and how many points I get from it and then upgrade to Pro if the numbers are worth it. How often do you have to pay the $15 for the pro? Is it a one-time thing or yearly? I, for one, would love to have help getting started with the game flipping. Even if my GS doesn't do GCs for rewards credit, I could still use it for Christmas/birthday money for the kids

Thanks for the quick responses everyone. You were right, got the Ebay cards within 30 minutes and now I'm just waiting on Gamestop cards.

So, with something like this, you buy the 3 used games (one of them free) and then turn around and exchange them for store credit? Then you can use the store credit for gift cards?

UGH! Target order for eBay cards cancelled!

 

[MommaBerd]

So one of my Target GC shipments came today. YAY! So I churned those puppies, using 7 gift cards. I entered each, and was left with a balance on one card. Or at least so I thought. I went to my transaction in PayPal and it looks like only a certain amount was deducted from EACH GC, which leaves me with a balance spread over seven GCs instead of only one! AND, the GC numbers haven't been showing up on the transactions in PayPal as of late, so I have no idea which card is which!

UGH!

I tried Gamestop today with $1,000. I called this morning to make sure it would work okay at my local store. I asked a couple of times to confirm and I was told yes. So I figured all should work just fine. When I arrived she took the printed gift certificates to the back and when she came out she said they could only process $100. My heart stopped. That would leave me with $900 in Gamestop gift certificates. She said that someone recently created a fraud of over $15K in this district so they were limiting gift card usage or something like that to $100/person in our area. However nothing of the sort was mentioned in the morning. I asked in the morning if I could process $1,000 worth. Long story short after a few phone calls, a 15 min wait and upper upper approval they went ahead and processed the cards. I also learned that they process bulk orders through corporate. They said they will setup your name and info on file to be able to process large orders directly with corporate. No idea what the turnaround time on this would be. Figure I will call when I have 30 minutes to an hour and try to figure out how that would work. The guy in the store told me that the district manager said it is easy to do. They also told me that you cannot get any reward points from purchasing gift cards.

I'm not too sure about the points as I was buying things and trading games when I was flipping the gift cards yesterday. The $15 fee is annually, but helps with game flipping as you get 10% off the B2G1 and 4 for 20 promos with used games. It pays off in the long run.

When you upgrade to pro, they give you a B2G1 used coupon in which you can use to your advantage to get a good flip when they do a trade in promotion (30% more etc).

So, with something like this, you buy the 3 used games (one of them free) and then turn around and exchange them for store credit? Then you can use the store credit for gift cards?

Exactly. It depends on the trade in values tomorrow and if some of them hold.

Here are some of the basics/tips to game flipping.

- You can only trade in one of the same title at a time, however your milage may vary with trading in multiples of the same game. I've traded in multiple copies of the same game at some gamestops, however I've been denied at others. You can however trade in 2 of the same game on different consoles such as the same game... ex. one on PS4, and one on Xbox One.

- You can only trade in three of the same title and system period. Once you trade in the 4th of the same game, your account gets flagged for review in which the district manager sometimes views and there have been people that have been banned.

- You should jump on flips ASAP. Most of the times when trade in values are really high, it's because Gamestop has been slow at updating their systems. It is very likely that the trade in credit will change. Most of the time they change it overnight.

- Utilize the website for inventory. With some sales like B2G1 and others, some gamestops won't have a specific game. The website is good for locating specific used games they sell. With some sales/promos, you'll have to find 3 or 4 at the same gamestop so that can get tricky.

- You can return used games. If a flip does not work out, or you couldn't find a game, you can return the used games for your money back (only at gamestop). A lot of people take advantage of this and buy a used game, play it for a week (the return period) and then return it for the price they paid.

- You might get hit with a refurbished fee. Sometimes when you trade in game, with some of the employees, they'll charge you a "refurbished fee" which is what they charge you when the disc is too scratched or damaged in any way. Yes, they'll sometimes charge you for it with a game you just bought at a different location. Check the game to make sure there isn't any huge scratches. I usually walk back in and ask them for another copy if I see one.

- Don't trade it back in at the same Gamestop. I haven't tried it as there are a million gamestops where I live (3 on my way from work to home), but I've heard stories of people trying it and getting denied.

Game flipping can be great profit when they have good sales and trade in promos, but can be tedious depending on inventory of used games at certain locations and how many locations are near you.

Wow. That's crazy. I would have just taken my gift cards to another store and have them try it. Small increments at a time. Either they are lying to you or have taken out the points from your account as I recieved all my points from flipping today.

UGH!

I recently read the warnings about Target gcs balances being drained, so I've decided to use all of my gcs in full, whether on Target or eBay. Today, I received my GCM cards in the mail, made a 10 minute run to Target, and combined the cards for the amount I knew I would spend at eBay.

It is an extra step, and I'm probably spending some out of pocket as well, but it makes me feel more comfortable.

Thanks for sharing this split gc issue. It makes me feel better for taking these extra steps.

i did 3 diffrent stores with 300 each, way safer than going to one with 1k.
