Disney Gift Card Deals

[MinMou]

I ordered 2 Target cards from ebay last week when they had the 8X ebuck promotion. (For those of you who didn't get that one, take heart, I didn't get today's promotion). They were ordered 4 hours apart. Both supposedly travelled the same route at the same times, both ended up in NOrth Houston Sunday, one was delivered yesterday, and the other is supposed to be waiting for me when I get home.

I posted this for those of you who are worried about where your cards are. While the tracking systems are electronic, the people who make the inputs are human, and things are not always what they seem. I have had an order that showed delivered before it even got on a truck or plane, several orders that arrived a day or two before they were supposed to, more that arrived a day late, and now this. When this happens, I try to wait afew days for the delivery service to get it right. But I'm human too, and sometimes I write to the sender to let them know that something is late, so they know.

Of course, I haven't lost any GCs in the mail yet, so we will see how calm I am if that happens!

UGH. I bought a $25 BB gift card from PPDG last week and I thought it had delivered but that was really just the order notification. So now I'm searching high and low and I can't find it. I don't think it was ever delivered.

I'm having the same problem. Bought a BB GC earlier this morning, like 12 hours ago and it hasn't been delivered yet. Never had this problem with them before, usually they arrive within minutes. I have to wait til tomorrow morning to ask though because they state that it can take up to 24 hours. Hopefully it arrives before then.

I had the same thing happen. It finally came after 2 days.

Local Sams Club's usually have 3 packs of $50 Disney GC's for $142.98. Anyone find any further Sams Club discounts?

The $500 for $474.98 sold on the website is a slightly better deal, and you can get $18.99 from TopCashBack on those (the $150s and $50s always get denied for me though). I'd suggest buying Walmart GCs through Raise first (about 3% to 3.5% off, if your comfortable with that), unless you're using a CC that will give you a high percentage of cashback from Sam's.

Never received the eBay GC's I ordered from Target at 5pm yesterday. Order still said "order created" online. So, I finally cancelled it and the money went back on the GC's I had paid with. Phew. I reordered the GC's and am waiting again. This time though, I ordered nothing with them. The order from yesterday contained 8 or 9 other items so maybe that was just too much. Idk. Won't do that again.

GCM is officially out of all denominations of Target GC. I hope they restock before the end of the eBay bucks offer. Don't know if they keep regular business hours, so that might not be until tomorrow.

 

[Minnie368]

A month or so ago they restocked in the middle of the night- around 1am EST.

Good to know. I'll keep checking throughout the evening.

It looks like this Bucks bonus just isn't going to happen for me. I got the bonus on my account (I seem to get all of them), but my wife didn't get it on hers.

Despite estimated delivery dates for three packages all originally scheduled for today or earlier, all my funds are still in transit, and especially the ones shipping through USPS seem to be sitting at USPS Facilities for days without any movement. So frustrating that one of them has been at the "Destination Facility" in my city since 5/1 but still hasn't made it to my local post office for delivery. Now GCM only has $50s left in stock and I am loathe to go OOP for small cards that I'll have to pay even more shipping on. I've also been avoiding PPDG because it refuses any transaction from my wife's account, and after reading the horror stories from you all these past two weeks, I don't want to risk locking up my account.

*sigh* I really didn't expect eBay to run another promo so soon (Monday) after the last flash promo (last Thursday). I hate missing out on promos because my funds are in transit, and on a 4x bonus too! I can only hope for a 5x bonus next week (although more likely 3x or none considering the last three have been 4x) and take the time to slowly convert my GCs now that the 5% discount is back.

ETA: I see that GCM has now run out of Target GCs altogether.

My DD opened an eBay account. She doesn't have a linked PP account. Anyone know if she can just log on to my PP to check out?

Well, one of my GCM orders that should have been here yesterday is taking the scenic route through Illinois! So, annoying! This is the second time this has happened.

My other package should get here today so at least I will be able to do something.

There are no scenic routes through IL but they may have decided to catch a Cub game.

Where is everyone finding physical eBay gift cards in their Target stores? I checked my Target today, looked at every checkout and an end cap by the greeting cards, but no eBay on any of them. I'm not sure if my (small town Minnesota) store doesn't have them or if they are located somewhere else.

We have a small Target too. Our gift cards are located back by electronics, near the greeting cards, and then there's a bunch of tiny end caps on random places (beauty, vitamins). The little end caps caught my eye because they had Disney gift cards and I thought it was an odd place to put them.

Yes you can. I keep my eBay account and dd25's unlinked to either of our Paypals and can use either with either account.

Well, should've stuck to what I know. If I would've purchased eBay online through target I would've had my Ebates, 5% off, and $40 in eBay bucks that I currently don't have because GCM is sold out of cards.

I guess I can rest assured knowing I got $48 eBay bucks yesterday & I have one less order going through target online.

I did some churning in Target's store yesterday but they were super busy and I didn't want to get unwanted attention buying $900 worth of ebay with GC's so I only did $400 in store. I came home and placed an online order for another $400 of ebay (two $200's). That was at 5pm. I bought like 8-9 other items I needed also. The whole order still says "order created". I got notice of the ebates about an hour after placing the order as well as the email that says "a shipment will be coming your way soon". But the GC's haven't been delivered. Anyone had this happen? What to do??

I had issues last night on Target.com, could not complete the order. I finally closed out and have not tried again yet. I thought they were making improvements to the site but I don't see it.

The delivery status for the package that was supposedly on this morning's truck changed this evening to "held for future delivery requested" and an email I received stated that delivery is now scheduled for MAY 17th!!!!!!

Dealing with UPS chat was absolutely useless. He couldn't tell me who made that change or why. He claims that the package IS at the "facility" but that no one will contact me about its whereabouts until tomorrow morning by 10 AM. It could be placed on the truck tomorrow. It could be on it's way to East Gibbip. It could have been stolen or fallen behind a shelf. All I know is that I have $1K in missing GCs from GCM. I sent a message to GCM thru eBay and I'll be waiting to see if they open an investigation with UPS from their end.

Not happy right now and very frustrated with UPS. I know that eBay/PayPal will make it right...eventually...if the package is indeed lost. The package tracking shows that it was never delivered but it's up to the sender to make the actual lost package claim. It's very nerve-wracking to be in limbo for the moment and I'm trying to remain calm.

C'mon, GCM, restock already! Don't you know we have eBay Bucks to earn????

Can you go to the facility to get it? I don't know how far it is from you, but that may be a possibility. I've had to go to the main facility in the past, for a package for work.

this is why i use UPS my choice, lets you dictate delivery times so i know i get it at a certain time or just have them drop it off at a UPS store

It's UPS that has lost my package. They would have lost it before it even got to a UPS store. It's supposedly in a "facility" which is located in Philadelphia. No address for me to go to and light a fire under them to look for it and given that this is Philly that we're talking about, it would likely be a very large distribution center. I truly believe that the envelope has been lost. I've had packages go for the scenic tour of the East Coast before, but they have always been tracked along the route. Even packages that have reached Philly and were not delivered on the day they were expected ended up being rescheduled for the next day. I have never seen a package get "held for delivery" for 2 weeks after allegedly being on the truck that day.
