Disney Gift Card Deals

Can you use the same Paypal account?

We do. Two would be preferable, imo. But I could never get my dh's PP to work so I just moved him to mine.

 

[wendow]

Where did they say that? Does this enforcement apply to everyone or individual?

I wasn't aware of it until today either. It appears to be a GCM limit b/c it says the "seller" limits how many of this item you can purchase.

Can we each have a paypal account of our own but linked to the same checking account? Can a paypal acct be linked to a savings account?

Trying to wait for my redeemed SB ebay gift cards to get here before I jump on this offer. I could always save them for the next go round though.

I've never heard of the GCM limit either but I don't come close to ordering that many. I think my norm is about 10 cards in a month.....much smaller potatoes than many of you.

You have my sympathy. BTDT. Paypal has the lamest CS I have ever dealt with.

Thanks. I was of course told the issue is with eBay and a memo was sent out to them today about it. Then I was told to Unlink my PayPal account from eBay if it's linked or to link my PayPal account to my eBay account if it is not linked. This is the equivalent of turning my computer off and on to see if I'll get a different result. Stupid!

I'll try again tonight.

And for what's it's worth. I got the offer, my husband did not.

I don't know if two accounts can be linked to the same account but yes, you can link to a savings account.

I used to receive the bonus offers, but now I haven't received any since January. We set up an account for my husband a month and a half ago and he has yet to receive any offers.​

 

[Jing]

I have the bonus bucks offer on my app, but not on the desktop version. On my App it's on the featured tab - under today's deals - 3rd one down it's a pic of a girl on a bike that says Bucks Booster Earn up to 8% in eBay bucks AND it has a countdown clock that is counting down 1 day 14 hours. So YAY because I've only gotten 1 offer since I started this in early March. Clicked on it and it takes me to a page that says Bucks Booster with icons of some things either in my cart or watch list. So I clicked on the Target card, ordered 5 $150 cards and checked out using all my ebay gift cards. Worked wonderfully.

HOWEVER, then I logged in to the desk top version and see that I was only credited $15 ebay bucks for my purchase. I contacted ebay support and they had me hold quite awhile while they checked and came back saying that I didn't get the promotion and didn't qualify for the 8% bonus offer today. Whhaaaat? Why is it on my app? It definitely wasn't there before. So after some back and forth with the ebay agent, and reading word for word from the app, and offering to take a screen shot of the offer, she reluctantly agreed to credit the remaining ebay bucks as a 1 time courtesy. How thoughtful of them.

It's bizarre that it is on my app if I didn't qualify for it.. anyone else not have it on their desktop, but have it on their app?

I got the offer and activated it on the app, but it didnt credit the 4x. Called CS and she verified I had the promo and would submit a ticket to get the 4x applied. Said it would take 24-48 hours to post, but I wish there was some kind of tracking on the request to make sure. The rest of my GCM order comes tomorrow and if I can get all of it converted in time, I may hit upon the 25-in-10 if the $150s are out of stock.

 

[DIS_MERI]

So, this is my 1000th post. Yay me I haven't posted for 4 days because I wanted it to count

I got caught in the paypal lock thing last week when there was the flash 4x. I was pretty upset at the time, but I guess in the long run it was really just an annoyance and a time waster. It would have been nice if the first person I talked to had told me it would be the next day (or more) or before I could make purchases instead of another hour+ of phone calls and trying....I did get today's 4x, which helped take the sting out of last week.

I started to order the Target $100s from GCM since they were out, but decided I didn't need to order *that second* and sure enough, pretty soon the $150s were restocked. I went through swagbucks, so I should get 900SB and $72 ebay bucks. And, I save $2.98 on shipping with my small amount of patience These will go to Disney cards when they come in; I save my Target volume for that since I have a big trip in October. Assuming they will be sent UPS, I will ask to reroute to my UPS store because I will be at Disney for 4 nights starting Sunday (yay Gin Blossoms!).

I still had a little over $1000 in ebay cards, so I went with $1000 in sears gift cards from SVM. I will probably get those later this week. $80 in ebay bucks and $13 from iconsumer. Those will go to GameStop and then Ebay to continue my churning.

I still had $25+ left in ebay, and I wanted at least $350 more for my Disney trip next week. I decided that when I ran DD19 lunch (she works at the Mall and got called in with 15 minutes notice because someone else didn't shown up and didn't have time to pack lunch; I literally threw a pack of poptarts and a bottle of water at her as she ran out the door for breakfast), I would check Best Buy and see if they had Disney cards. Not only did they have $25s, but they had $50s *and* variable loadables. They also had a bunch of ebay $25s and variable loadables. I wasn't planning to use PPDG anymore, but I decided to chance it, especially since I can't see needing to use ebay before I get back home Friday of next week (famous last words...). So, I figured I might as well get a little extra, and get a total of $500 in ebay cards to try to turn into Best Buy, to get Disney with.

Looking at my best ways to get this done quickly, I knew Kroger fuel points would give me the most bang for my starting buck. However, I still have 25+ gallons left from my last gas run, and 2000 fuel points from April to use by the end of May (which is pushing it when I will be gone for 5 days). So, I decided to get a $300 gamestop card from Kroger. That gave me 600 fuel points ($21, good through June), plus $18 Amex cashback (6% grocery). I still wanted another $175 in gamestop, so I went to the Speedway by the mall (13100 points and 1000 bonus points, about $14 total) and used my Amex (3% gas stations, so $5.25). Then, I got a $475 ebay card from gamestop, and $9.50 worth of gamestop points Went home, ordered 5 $100 Best Buy cards from PPDG in 1 transaction. I did have to verify 1 time by text and 1 time by phone, plus login to paypal twice, but it did work! Went through iconsumer for $6.50 and $40 in ebay bucks. Took my BB cards in on my way home from picking up DD13 from school, and got a $500 Disney card. In total, I will get back $114.25 on my $500 in Disney cards purchased (plus the $174 from my other 2 ebay orders), which I think is pretty good for a ~2 hour turnaround time (and I went less than 2 miles out of my way to do it all). I don't plan to use PPDG for quite a while (at least 10 days), so hopefully I won't be locked out next time (but I did my other orders first to be safe!).

Spoiler: And now for a long OT personal ramble for my 1000th post

This has been a crazy 15 months. I found out my STBXH was cheating on me last February (the same day my BFF of 30 years found out she had cancer), and I filed for divorce, and the agreed to un-file because he said he would change and I didn't want to lose his kids. Found out more in October, and filed again. I was really hoping his kids (who I still consider my kids, aka my oldest 2, or my bonus kids) would get to go on our November trip, but as I feared they couldn't. Younger 3 and I moved out and DD19 moved in with STBXH (partially to care for the dogs, but also to keep him company). My now cancer free BFF and her family went with us to Disney instead, and we still had a wonderful time, but I hated the oldest 2 missing out (they never got to see Osbourne lights ).

Things got worse on seeing them, and by the January trip (just me and the younger 3) I wasn't sure how much I would see them anymore at all. But, right after we got back, things got better with them. STBXH doesn't know, but when she moved out of his house, I was the Mom DD19 moved in with, not her Mom-Mom DS16 comes to stay every other weekend too (his Mom-Mom works then) instead of doing visitation with his Dad (who he hasn't seen since January). I hate for them that he's making such awful choices that they don't want to see him or talk to him (and they got even worse after I left), but I am *so* glad I can be here for them. Things should finally be finalized with the divorce at the end of the month, and once it is, we will be buying a house big enough for everyone (currently in a rental intended for 4, plus DD19's friend is staying with us because her parents kicked her out 6 weeks before high school graduation).

DD19 is going with us to Disney next week (DS16 can't miss that much school), and our October trip is only 4 days so no one has to miss school and everyone can go (as well as DD13's BFF and DD19's BF). Thanks to churning, we are going to do the Wild Africa Trek and MNSSHP too. Disney has been my therapy this year, and we will end it with a big family therapy session

I know it probably sounds obvious, and you probably did it already, but I always ask, did you be sure to sign up your Dh's account for ebay bucks? I made new account for DD25 about a month ago, and helped a friend about 10 days ago, and after doing that they both got the offers that came right after they signed up.

Congratulations on your 1000th post, and nice work on all the savings. I have been churning regularly for about 8 months now. I don't have a gamestop near me, so I never used them before, but there is one near my job. Are there any restrictions on buying giftcards with their store gift card? Also any other good choices besides ebay (although that is what I intend to get)? Thanks.

There have been reports that gamestops are going to stop allowing all gift cards to be bought with their gift cards, and other reports that just amazon and ebay will be restricted. Some have been limited to purchasing certain amounts. I have had no problems whatsoever. I also won't be crippled if I get stuck with 300-500 in gamestop cards since I have 2 teen boys Ebay is my card of choice, since it is great for churning. A distant 2nd choice would be amazon (since they now seem to allow churning), and then they have a bunch of game and food cards.

Thank you, I think I will test the waters with $200 today (also have ways to spend if I need to).

 

[redgokart]

I'm now deciding if I should forego the Target 5% and just convert it in store so I don't have any problems/cancellations, or just buy it online......decisions decisions.

...or have your funds in limbo. my T orders didn't come through til 30 minutes after Wednesday's flash deal ended (which took 5.5 hours to deliver!).

Does Sears sell GC or just Kmart?

Then, I got a $475 ebay card from gamestop, and $9.50 worth of gamestop points

I'm assuming with the Pro Rewards, you get rewards for buying gift cards?

we will be buying a house big enough for everyone (currently in a rental intended for 4, plus DD19's friend is staying with us because her parents kicked her out 6 weeks before high school graduation).

CONGRATULATIONS! What a mess, but it seems like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[tz2989]

No, it's the BJ's offer. I didn't buy Disney GCs because I can do better elsewhere, but I bought supplies for an upcoming party. I had to use a friend's BJ's membership because I don't shop there and don't have a membership. The charge and the credit hit my AmEx almost at the same time. Now the offer says "redeemed".

I found where you see the offer has been "Redeemed". After using the offer twice it has two entries for the BJs offer.

Sears does sell GC, but I have not tried to buy from them with GC. Sears carries a much more limited variety of cards, I don't believe I've seen ebay or gamestop lately (although my sears is closing, so it may be more limited than most). Kmart seems to have a decent variety.

Yes, that is with prorewards. With the regular one you get 10 pts per $1, vs the 20 pts per $1 with pro.

Thanks It's been crazy, but I guess life always will be with 5+ kids. I wouldn't trade it for anything

 

[wendow]

Went in to Target today to buy ebay GC's there rather than running so much through my account. I'll happily forgo the 5% and ebates if it keeps my account from getting banned. My store now stocks the ebay $200, which I know others have mentioned their store carrying as well. That is a great addition! So, bought $400 worth through the self-checkout. Used 3 Target GC's to cover it all. No problem. Easy-peasy.

I wasn't planning to buy DIsney today but just wanted to see what the stock looks like. My store has no $100's that I could find, a handful of $50's and more $25's than you can possibly imagine. Every register is overflowing with the $25's. I wonder what is going on?? Is it simply people buying them up, or is Target going to begin carrying a higher denomination or variable card, like other stores are doing now? Target needs to run a sale on the $25's. Apparently, no one really is buying those.

Thanks for the info! I don't have a KMart near me, only Sears. I guess I can take a look and see what they have.

Darn, I didn't realize you got points for buying GC at GameStop. I will have to remember this for next time.
