Disney Gift Card Deals

[Superchikk]

Oh, and DH doesn't know this, but the second we get back, I am starting to save my GC's for the next trip!!! We have a different trip to save for for next year, but If I can get $600 from Swagbucks in 1/2 of a year, I could pay for food AND at least half of the tickets with a year and a half to save. If I got another condo like I have booked this time, we could do the whole rest of the trip for cheap enough that he couldn't say no (I hope, ROFL)

What are your strategies for getting that many Swagbucks? I use it, but I don't get nearly that many.

Bought $900 worth of target gift cards (3600 fuel points) with my Disney Premiere Visa (2%) and ordered $900 worth of Disney Gift Cards from Target.com (5% off), still have $45 on a Target gift card. Just filled up with gas and saved $26 with fuel points Will deposit those gift cards into my Disney Vacation Account when they arrive.

Rinse and repeat 4 more times and my trip will be paid in full, with a nice little bit of savings

I'm doing something similar. Just an FYI - the Amex Blue Preferred card gives 6% back at grocery stores (there is a yearly fee but worth it) up to $6K in purchases. The Amex Blue everyday card gives 3% back on groceries (same $6K limit), and there is no fee. Gift cards count as a purchase - adds up quickly. Love these cards!

I have a question how did you get 5% off the Disney gift cards on target.com when paying with Target gift cards?

Unfortunately no. The discount is applied only when paying with the Red Card.

Unfortunately no. The discount is applied only when paying with the Red Card.

You would think, but you CAN get the 5% even when paying with gift cards. You must set your default payment method as your Red card. Your items will automatically be discounted. Then click on "pay with gift card." The 5% discount is retained. I've ordered twice this way and had no problems.

I think I recall reading that on here once but it didn't stick. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[CluelessDisFan]

Great info! Thank you, I'm happy i asked!

 

[w84no1]

The fact that you have to set it to pay with the red card, then go back and change to a gift card for every transaction is a bit of a pain. But worth it for the extra 5‰ off.

My trip saving will be this:
$100 in Disney gift cards from Visa (2% back)
$100 in Disney gift cards from Disney Vacation Account ($20 for every $1000)
$520 in fuel savings (20000 fuel points)
$250 off target (5% off)

It is worth the trouble.

I haven't had to set it to pay with the redcard every time....there is an option to set the redcard as your default payment type and it always there every time I go in. I just choose to pay with gift cards instead and the 5% discount is applied.

It has been that way for me too until this past time 2 days ago.

The website does kinda look different. Or maybe I'm not recalling it correctly

Can we use more than 1 target gift card at online check out or is a limit of 1?

 

[pillow]

I have used 2 gift cards before, so I know you can do that. I suspect there is a limit, but I'm not sure what it is.

There is a 4 card limit + your red card

What are your strategies for getting that many Swagbucks? I use it, but I don't get nearly that many.

Well, I have my daily routine going now. I start the morning by turning on SBTV on my phone, and select the "news" channel bc those are shortest. I let that play as I do my morning stuff, and during the day, as I am doing things. I found that with the Facebook chat heads, you can use messenger over the videos that are running, but everything else pauses the videos. SBTV is good for 50 sb/day. Then I start Entertainow app (TV spots channel) on my iPad. That could get you up to 120 sb/day, but it takes a LONG time to accumulate them. Still, adds up.

I do my morning dailies (I have much of this running all simultaneously, clicking back and forth, as I also do things like look up recipes, post on facebook, etc):

-Start SB TV, and periodically click on those (the ticker goes up a few seconds after each commercial ends, you don't have to watch the whole video)
-Start an Encrave video (go to Discover, then Encrave). Select one of the ones with the circular arrow, then click the x in the upper left corner to turn on "discovery mode" which will play the videos one after the other
2-NOSO
1-Poll
1-Daily Crave
10-Games (I always choose Swagasaurus Run, click on it, just let the guy run. You dont' have to DO any game playing, at all)
10-15 for going to Special Offers, and clicking Radium One, then sorting by "low payout to high", and clicking on each of the 1pt offers. I just click each (or if there are a lot, I will do it in 2 groups), and let them sit open for 5 minutes, then close them. I don't actually watch them or click the slideshows. Refresh once, and some will reappear to do again.
-Check to see if there are any videos at Special Offers/Peanut Labs
-Morning search win (I get at least 2 search wins/day, from searching through SB. Until I get the win, I will open every site I go to, like facebook, etc. by "searching" for it, and then clicking)

So I will do all of that for a bit, and after I am done with those, and doing my morning facebook junk, etc. Every day, I hit at least my first goal, and frequently my 2nd. That nets me bonuses of about 600 sb/month or more.

I also subscribe to the "Accelerator". I took 2500 sb, and took a payout through Paypal. I used that to start paying for the Accelerator, which is 9.99/mo, but gives 1500 sb. I also use my ebates money to pay into that PayPal account, so I never have to pay for the Accelerator with real money (would love if you pm me for a referral link if you are not signed up with ebates or swagbucks).

Periodically during the day, I go on my phone app to "Discover" then check Trial Pay for any 1pt videos, and Brand Connect, as well.

During the day, the SB app will alert me that there is a new code. I then go to the Swagbucks FB page, and just look in the comments for the new code, rather than going to twitter or instagram or wherever the code is, bc I don't use those sites.

I sometimes print and use the grocery store coupons, though not often, as I don't use a lot of processed food, need special dog food, and don't have babies. They add up, though, eventually.

When I am shopping online, I look to see which is the better payoff: ebates or shopping through swagbucks. They have different promos going at various times. I currently have 356 "shop & earn" sb pending, for example, from booking a cheap hotel night through hotels.com, and buying a LivingSocial deal.

When I am watching tv with dh at night, I will sometimes do surveys or keep Encrave videos running, and I continue to run the Entertainow app on the ipad, and either the Sport.ly or MovieCli.ps apps on my phone. I then run the Entertainow app on my phone as I go to sleep.

Now, some people have lots of referrals. I don't. I only have one, who is brand-new, so I earn basically all of these sb myself. I would love more referrals, but I don't blog or bug my friends or whatever to sign up under me. I just kind of quietly do my thing, lol.

The big key for me is to keep the videos going, and to multi-task the stuff in the morning. It does help greatly that we have 2 monitors, but it can all be done with one, just having many tabs open, as long as your computer can handle that. If not, it can all be done, just take longer.

HTH!!

HTH!!

Can you tell me more about the Enterainow app & this accelerator thing?

I usually hit my goal everyday & my 2nd goal on most days but all I do is this:
Daily Crave
Daily Poll
NOSO
SBTV app for 50 sb/day
I aim for at LEAST 2-3 searches through the search and earn
Then I click on 'Watch' for the videos online to make up the rest

I didn't even know about the games giving you 10! I always check Sbcodez for new codes because sometimes it doesn't alert my phone for a new code.... most of the time it does though!

Wow! Thanks!

I didn't want to quote bc it would get huge, but the other apps that I mentioned are available in the Google Playstore. Entertainow gives you 120/day. Sport.ly and and Moviecli.ps give 20/day. All 3 are 2sb per 10 videos. In all of them, you don't have to wait for the whole video to play, only about the first 30 seconds, and then you can hit "done" and then "next video". That makes it go WAY faster, but also requires your input, so I usually just let it run on its own.

Only the Entertainow app is available for ios, the others are for Android only.

On the games, you get 2 sb every other game you play, up to a total of 10/day. You only have to start the game, not actually play it.

Thanks! I have an iPhone so I will definitely look into Entertainow. I got my 10 for games & I never do the special offers but today I did a ton of the RadiumOne offers & got an extra 20

Another thing that I forgot to mention is "Laptop Guy". On the home page, there is a "tile" where he shows up sometimes (has been there a LOT recently, it was never like that before). It shows a guy with a Laptop and a coffee mug, and says "take a discovery break". Different videos or whatever will show, with countdown timers. Some of them count down for a minute or so. Sometimes you have to do 5 that are 30 seconds, or 10 that are 10 seconds or whatever. For each round, you get 2 sb. If I am not running videos on my phone I do those (can't do it through the app, only through the browser) or on my laptop, I will poke it as I am watching tv, etc.

Doing only the things I have mentioned above, not one special offer (besides the 1pt radium one videos) or a single survey, I currently have 314 sb today. Now, I have maxed out all of the mobile video apps, and I don't usually do that, but it is definitely possible. Hope all of this info helps you guys reach your goals faster!! Please feel free to share your tips, as well. It's not like I am some guru or something, these are just tips that I have learned along the way. I very rarely do any kind of special offer, unless it is something that is being touted on the SB Facebook page as something that credits right away.

Oh, NEVER use the "radio loyalty" tab. There is something going on with it, and some people have had their accounts shut down. Just absolutely not worth playing with it.
