Disney Gift Card Deals

[brios86]

Quick question. Does Target ever let you buy $100 Disney cards online? Or is it only $50? I've looked on Target online and it seems you can only buy $50 Disney GC online right now. I'm still new to this but have gone through one successful churn cycle.

It's been sold out for a while. I'm sure they will be back in stock some day. Who knows when.

Okay-thanks! That's helpful to know.

if you guys are still getting locked out of gamestop gift cards, i always though that it was a rolling $500 limit on paypal digital gift cards every 10 days. ive on occasion gotten the errors, but just wait a couple of days and been able to order a large amount.

I tried while using my wife's eBay account, which is relatively new and I think has only purchased a $100 iTunes gift card (for $80) from PPDG about a month ago. eBay won't even let me check out so I never even got to PP's verification loop.

Amex gets "level 3" data from Staples. That means they basically see the whole receipt. I would not count on e-giftcards working for this promotion, even if you get the email. If the charge remains listed as "Staples," it will probably work, but if it doesn't, there's no point arguing about it.

Yes. The "meets the offer terms" language makes me think I'll order the physical gift card.

2. I used to buy last spring/summer via raise, card cash, etc but then found that I get a better deal using my credit card at my local supermarket (get 5 or 6% back depending on the card and the time of year plus fuel perks that works out to save a lot more $)
I know others that don't have this option continue with the resellers however a few people banned by target af the beginning of the year had all been banned after using gift cards purchased via gift card zen so there is that to consider.

Which credit card do you use? I've been using my Delta Amex, but I'm pretty unhappy with the restrictions in the last year on flight that I can book omnibus and certificates.


Also, can someone help me understand the advantage of using PPDG for GS cards? Is it to avoid Target or to cash in ebucks fast? Is there an additional discount that adds into utilizing GS that I am not seeing? Thanks!!

This is where I struggle! I am about the least patient person alive!

In this particular case, I feel I was patient enough for my level of risk by holding out to this point. GCM $150 cards were in stock, my eBay bucks were burning a hole in my pocket, and I got an extra 3% from eBates that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Am I going to kick myself if I get a 3-5x promo tomorrow if all of the above hold true? Of course! But not as much as I would kick myself if I didn't get the promo and lost out on the eBates extra or if GCM was out of stock. But this is all a risky business, and everyone has a gambling threshold. Heck, I only started churning in February after reading about it for a year, so I'm obviously not the high-stakes type!

It's for a faster flip.

With ebucks promos, you will be able to flip the same amount over in the same day since you will receive the gift card through email. In today's case, I've flipped through GameStop to still have my balance ready for tomorrow in case they drop a eBay bucks promo.

I got an offer to try the Amex preferred blue last summer which carries a $75 fee per year but gave a $150 statement credit if I spend so much money in the first month or two it was opened-so I looked at that as paying the fee for the first 2 years basically. It earns 6% cash back on all grocery store purchases (excludes target, Walmart, warehouse clubs) up to a max of $6,000 per calendar year (then it drops to 1% back). I also got rid of my old visa that earned next to nothing and changed to the chase freedom card-it has rotating catergories for the 5% back. Last quarter it was for gas stations and commuting costs so I used it to buy gift cards at a local gas chain called getgo when they ran a special leap day promotion. This quarter is grocery stores. You can only earn 5% back on a max of $1500 per quarter so not as good of an earner as the Amex preferred blue but also no annual fee. If you don't get an offer from Amex for a statement credit to sign up for the preferred blue you can also do the regular blue card (think it is called the blue everyday?) and get 3% back on up to $6,000 then it drops to 1%.

Okay just an update on my problems with the PPDG order I was trying to push thru to spend DD25's ebucks. The PayPal supervisor actually did call me back tonight! Actually about two hours early, and I almost didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number and wasn't expecting a call from Omaha, lol. Luckily it was a lull at work so a good time where I could try my stuff again. He said he thought it had had time to clear and he thought it would work. So, I added an extra $100 gc to the cart of GS gc's, for $500. I wanted to do the 4% Ebates deal for the day, if it was gonna go thru, lol, and by luck, happened to have one extra eBay $100 gc on hand. So, it worked!! Finally, after getting to the page where I clicked to use ebucks and then tried to sign in to PayPal, it finally signed into PayPal and let me finish checking out! That was where I kept getting the error code. I was able to use the 340 ebucks, plus the 100 eBay gc, plus the cc for the balance and it all went great! It was awesome, lol!

Then he talked with my DD25 a few minutes and verified her account and fixed hers but suggested waiting a day so we'll do that. Now we're all set with our free ebucks money into GS into eBay gc's and ready to go for a new promo! Finally all cleared up, hopefully it stays that way! Not sure, if there's a promo, if I'll do some GS churns first, it's pretty tempting to make extra ebucks easy as long as it's still working between PayPal and the GS side of things.

I got a message in my eBay inbox. 8% eBucks today and tomorrow. Offer is effective at 8:00 AM Eastern Time/5:00 AM Pacific.

 

[DIS_MERI]

I don't have that message in my ebay inbox. Hopefully it will show up soon, and I can be part of the cool kids club for this round If so, I will have to decide how much to put into what kind of card. I don't think I want to order any target just now since I'm doing a lot of Disney now (18 days!!). I think gamestop physical has a shipping charge, but my Kmart was out of gamestop....Choices, choices.

This starts 5 am pacific time. Don't order yet. I just did and didn't get the bonus bucks. I requested to cancel and they said the request takes up to 3 days.

 

[kool_kat]

Wohoo - had it on both mine and my husband's account!

 

[kool_kat]

Question for those who use more than one account (husband/wife mother/daughter etc...). Do you do all your churning on one account until you hit the max on ebay bucks for the quarter and then flip to the other account or do you do amounts on both through the whole period? I finally got my husband set up with an account and had ordered a few gift cards to get him moving with ebucks and he also got the offer for this morning. I'm wondering if I am better to do one order on his account and one order on mine or do two orders on mine until it is maxed out.

 

[WeLoveDisneyBunches]

Yippee...ebucks offer in my inbox also. This will be my first go at it; keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly.

I took advantage of the 4% ebates via ebay earlier to order $300 in GS gift cards PPDG using an ebay gift card. I normally use Chrome, and it made me log into Paypal on the ebay part, and wanted a verification. So, I used IE, and it also wanted a verification, but worked fine after a single text verification. I seem to have good luck with the $300-in-1-shot orders with GS and PPDG. This brings my total for the last 4 days to $800 in GS via PPDG (2 x $100 orders on 4/15, 1x $300 on 4/16 and 1 x $300 on 4/18; just to be clear, the $300 orders are 3 $100 gc and for some reason when they arrive it is 1 card, then 5-10 mins later another and then 2-3 mins later the 3rd). Not sure how much I want to do in digital since it is more of a pain for the gamestop guys.

Why is the digital more of a pain for the GS guys? I printed the eGC and he scanned it no issue.

 

[Ryoukoe]

Wahoo! 8% today!!

I didn't seem to receive the offer on any of my accounts.
