Disney Gift Card Deals

BUT! The Ebates quarter ends on 4/30 and pays out on 5/15. This eBay Bucks quarter ends on 6/30. So you could reason that taking advantage of this Ebates bonus will get more cash back to you sooner that you can use to fund more eBay purchases for a quarter that won't end until June.

My ebates quarter ended 3/31 for payout 5/15.

Oops. It's been one of those mornings. Thanks for the corrections.

Not sure about you, but my ebates quarters run with my ebay bucks quarters. So, my May 15 payout is for the quarter that covered Jan 1-Mar 31.

ETA: lol, my page hadn't updated the new posts

I see it this way: with a 5x's eBay Bucks promotion I'm getting $99 (I have $900 to churn), 4x's $81 and 3x's would be $63. With the Ebates 4% I'd get $54 plus have to do an extra churn through Target. Just not willing to take that risk. I'll be happy for everyone that gets to take advantage of this if there isn't an eBay Bucks deal this week though!

Just saw this on amex
25 off 100 purchase in staples online..
from Slickdeals you can buy a physical ebay giftcard for $101.99 (includes shipping) and recieve a 25.00 credit on your amex.

Thanks for posting
Also if anyone is not churning (or has a trip coming up very soon) they also offer Disney gift cards for the same deal

I had the staples offer as well for American Express. I noticed I also had x2 back in points for target.com purchases.

While attempting to purchase Gamestop gift cards, my paypal account is now completely locked. It made me verify, change my account information, etc. over and over again until it just wouldn't let me do anything at all. I have now been on hold for 20 minutes to get this resolved. Pretty sure I am giving up on this Gamestop element because Paypal makes it impossible.

Just received this from American Express for my ebay egc purchase

Dear xxx,

We appreciate you using your Amex Offer at WWW.STAPLES.COM 472. Look out for a $25.00 statement credit, which will automatically be applied to your statement if your purchase meets the offer terms.

AWESOME!!!

Call paypal and ask to speak to the limitations department. They should be able to help you out. Also, sometimes the paypal app works when it doesn't work online.

I went for it - I just don't have the stomach to hold out for a promo that may not come this week.

With PPDG... if it doesn't log you into Paypal automatically (since I saved Paypal onto my ebay account) I just stop right there and wait a little bit until it does, in which it eventually lets you. I don't want to risk my Paypal being 100% locked since I use it for other things besides churning.

Does anyone ever book their Disney resorts through Orbitz? Ebates has 8.1% back on Orbitz & Orbitz has up to 15% back with their promo code. Since we're planning a week & a half vacation, that would be a huge chunk of savings!

Is there any reason why the Lowes promo card today cannot be used to purchase EBay cards in their store? Our Lowes has all kinds of giftcards for sale.

I go this and used it x4 (thanks!) but I stuck to physical gc's per the terms for the $back- one side note Staples currently has a glitch on their site for gc orders and is charging sales tax- when I tried online chat to fix (from slickedeals) they said 'a number of customers have same issue right now, just pay then call the tax center # to get it refunded

ok, I skipped a few hundred pages, went up to 486, so I want to check if something has changed if you don't mind. I don't have an Amex card. Does ebay bucks no longer work for purchasing target gift cards with ebay cards? I don't know if I should post what I understand the plan to be as I saw it upsets some people. For our last trip, I simply did the raise and bought target gift cards and used that to pay for my Disney gift card. I have not ever tried the churning through ebay, or using the swagbucks or ebates. I am planning on trying this for our new trip we are taking this November.

If I post what I think the process is, will you guys tell me if I have it wrong?

I have never tried but several people have posted in the past they will not allow you to use Lowes gift cards to buy third party gift cards

Just used GS to churn $500 for the 4% ebates. Everything went great and while the cashier at GS looked at me oddly I got my PPGC. I will hold out and see if we eBay bucks offer tomorrow before sending through Target again. We leave May 8th so trying not to cut it too close.

ebay Bucks work for purchasing target gift cards with eBay cards-At least 1 posted has had trouble getting Ebates credit for target card purchases using eBay gift cards-when they inquired about the missing cash back they were told purchases made with eBay gift cards did not count toward ebates credits-however many of us have never had problems with orders tracking and crediting-I guess it is just a matter of luck-if it doesn't track for some reason they won't credit it if you report it.
I bolded your earlier statement because I don't think anyone is ever upset if someone asks if they understand what they have read here. What people get annoyed about are those who stumble onto this thread and want everything spoon fed to them with a guarantee that they are going to save hundreds of dollars doing this. The loopholes/promotions we all use could close without warning today and we could all be stuck with lots of money in various companies gift cards/credits rather that hard cash or Disney gift cards. Honestly that is the most important reason to really research and make sure you are comfortable before investing your vacation funds. If you have read along and think you have a process people are very willing to look at what you post and give suggestions if they see a flaw/incorrect statement.
