Disney Gift Card Deals

[PerfessorZ]

Maybe this is common during ebucks redemption months? This is my first one, so I wouldn't know. I know $150s have been out for the last few days at least. I bought 6 $150s on the 6th, but haven't seen any the last few times I checked. I finally broke down and got 9 $100s on the 13th and so glad I did now that they are sold out too. I need between $750 to $1800 by next Wednesday, so now I'm covered on that, just can't churn anymore through Target until I can convert more Ebay to Target. Funny though, I just went to Ebay to see what shipping would be on the $50s, and if I enter 10 $50 I'm OK, but when I try to add an 11th card it says "You've ordered the max allowed from this seller in the past 10 days". IDK if it is the number of cards I'm trying to order now (over 10) or if it is actually the $ total for the past 10 days. Anyone successfully order more than 10 cards in one order from GCM?

I tried monkeying around with the # in my shopping cart. I was able at one point to get that error message, but it wouldn't go away, no matter how low I changed the number to. Then I cleared out my cart & started over and was able to enter about any number I wanted. I think it's at least partially due to glitches in the ebay website.

This is OT for this thread, but I can't PM you so I'll just respond here.

E-Rewards has a limited number of surveys. They'll occasionally email you links to surveys that you can take. Otherwise, you can download their mobile app which offers surveys far more often than online. Remember: 1 e-rewards dollar does not equal 1 USD.

Its not a bad deal....I use e-rewards to get points I need to get my Disney car rentals. Already up to $115 and $5 more will get me a free one way rental I will use for my cruise in Jan. Will then start over to get my return trip

Thanks, good to know its just the number in my cart and not the total $ over 10 days Yep, I also have to empty my cart to get it to "reset."

So, if I am going to use my mom's account to try to churn (if she get's the coveted eBucks offer) do I need to set up an Ebates account for her, or can I run that through my Ebates account? I would be using her PayPal for those transactions as well.

Yes, you need an eBates account for her. Ebates tracks your purchases with the email address you use with them. I have a separate account at Target and Ebay and Ebates for my husband so I can switch off our red card purchases, with his email address.

Can you use EBay GCs to buy EBay GCs from PPDG?

No. This just changed. Can't do it anymore unfortunately.

As a newbie, I didn't realize I couldn't post deals that could be advantageous to everyone & I got in trouble for it today. I found a deal on SB that could result in 2000 SB. I was able to buy something I needed for $19.99 & ended up with a $25 Target gc as a result of those points plus a few others I had. Every little bit helps!

I use e-Rewards to get air miles with Southwest. I combined that with my Chase Rapid Rewards card, so I am saving crazy miles for our trip. It is totally worth it. I also use that Credit Card to buy the Disney gift cards, so that adds more points to my Rapid Rewards

I also am a member of the Disney Movie Club, so I accumulate points and then exchange them for $10 cards Every little bit helps, right?

Congrats on your first EBates earnings!

I've used e-Miles. I find that (1) it takes a lot to earn points and (2) it takes a long time for the points to post. I do like them for making donations to charities - I've earned 1000+ point bonuses for donations I would have made otherwise. I've also found that my points have always posted to my SW account on the 1st of the month, so watch for that.

My preference over e-miles is e-rewards. I've easily earned 2400 SW points/month (their maximum) for the past few months.

Just to clarify: you are earning e-miles for donating to charities (not donating the emiles to the charity)? So before you donate you go through them? If this is the case, I'd love to see if the charities I give to are on their list.

I see on their redemption page you can cash out for Amazon, Starbucks and other gift cards in addition to FF miles.

karenp64 i didn't know you couldn't post deals either. i enjoyed reading about your deal even if i did not follow up on it.

Was there a referral link in your post?

 

[linzjane88]

I cannot get past repeated verification on my DH eBay account and it's making me insane. I've tried mobile, in cognito, everything!

So I bought $330 in EBay GC yesterday using my eBay bucks. No promo. I had Ebates activated and didn't expect to get credited. I got a $2 credit today and it says my purchase was $30! I bought a $100, $200 and $30.

did you get an email from paypal about having your account flagged for suspicious activity?

Yes, I donate money to charity and earn e-miles for doing so. I haven't found a way to view a master list of charities you can donate to, but I'll randomly have the opportunity come up on my e-miles home page. Nearly always, the bonus requires a recurring (at least two months total) donation. For example, I previously donated to Special Olympics, but I now do so through e-miles. I make a $15 monthly donation, and in exchange for doing so, I earned a one-time bonus of 1000 miles. You could theoretically stop after two months' donations and still be abiding by the T&C of e-miles.

[apologies for the OT.]

did you get an email from paypal about having your account flagged for suspicious activity?

Yes, and my DH changed his password and thought it took care of it. Apparently not. Although I tried adding a 100 ppdg for Ebay AND a $50 Target card. That one worked. I thought if I went back in and bought a PPDG card it would go thru since I got one order. No dice. Then I heard my DH from the other room "Stop using Paypal!" after I locked the account yet again. He was annoyed the first few times I tried earlier. He is getting REALLY tired of it now.

Nope, ebates isnt the "big" trigger. Its the magic/unknown methodology that target uses to determine someone is a "reseller". Once Target determines that you are a reseller, they lock your account and there is no getting it unlocked.

My account was not locked. They simply sent me a warning letter. I called to explain that I was buying gift cards in bulk to pay for a cruise, would be willing to fax my reservation confirmation if necessary, and politely explained that I was offended by the tone of the letter. I then requested an increase in my credit limit, which was granted.

So, I've been trying to purchase some GS gc's late thur night and throughout Friday. So, after work I decided to try it at a different computer at work. I was somehow able to get one to look like it'd go thru, so I tried to add a few more in, to use all my $500 ebucks, but when I did that, the 'error transaction refused' page would pop up. So, I decided to just try one and it worked! It let me buy one $100 card, and it's been delivered! And that's great, but it wouldn't let me do anymore after that. I tried my account and got the error right after clicking the checkout button, and tried DD25's account several times after that and I could get to paypal, but then when I signed in it would bring the error. Later in the evening Paypal sent an email that there was suspicious activity on my account, and they put limited access on it, and to follow the steps provided to get it secured again. So it had me change my password basically and it finally said it was all secured again.
So, optimistic, I tried again but it's still a no go . I don't understand why it let me buy one, but then shut down any more, even after supposedly getting full access to my paypal account again. And I can't buy any PPDG cards on DD25's account either. This is pretty frustrating!

I have a question. I started churning close to the end of last quarter for our September trip. I'm starting off this quarter with $600 to churn, but I can see reaching the $500 ebucks fairly quickly. I'm thinking about starting a separate ebay account for my husband to allow more churning, but at the moment we only have 1 checking account between us. He's a stay at home dad so I don't want to put our money in 2 places when my paycheck is our only income. I do have a PayPal business account though. Do you think they would be mad if we did an eBay account in his name, but had my business account tied to it?

 

[redgokart]

Yes, and my DH changed his password and thought it took care of it.

can you still make other ebay and paypal purchases? PPDG is a PITA!!!
