Disney Gift Card Deals

[Vernie822]

They must have us on repeat, they probably have our orders ready before we even check out.

I also take a pic, or have one of my kids read the numbers to me. Most of the time I just guess especially between the 6's and 8's

Ha, Whenever it says invalid number, I change my 6s to 8s and vice versa.

Mine are about 30 minutes from me. I'm thinking they will come tomorrow. I think I'll use them in store to buy Disney gift cards and buy a new eBay gift card from Kroger since they are running 4x fuel points this weekend. Even without the 5% savings I'm around 35% off already with two churns.

So clearly PPGD does not like me either regardless of what card or value I try to purchase. I was reading on a different website that PPGD works better when you have a bank account tied to Pay Pal. I only have my credit card with CB tied to Pay Pal. Does anyone have both a bank account and credit card tied to Pay Pal?

I do, I believe you have to have the bank account for your account to be verified - I could be wrong but I tend to NOT attach my bank account to anything so that rings a bell to me.

I also have my CC for when I want to pay for things at stores that take Paypal, I'll just use my linked CC.

Your use of the word "only" here makes me want to have a big glass of wine on your behalf!

It's not as bad as it sounds. Although, the last one and the 125lb dog are in close contention for being the most trouble....

If you ever run out of extras, let me know, I'd be happy to volunteer to be an extra! (Though it's been an awfully long time since I was considered to be a kid, but I think I could fake it.)

lol, I get a lot of volunteers We are at room capacity for October, which will be our last trip to the World for several years

I have both and it still locks me out. It's not you, it's them....

Has anyone returned an item to Target that you ordered online (with GC's) and received ebates credit? I have become bored with school supplies and one of my dd's is about to turn 16yo so I have been ordering her b-day gifts. I ordered a pack of tsum tsum's and my other dd said they aren't the right ones. So, I need to return and just wondering if I will lose my ebates. Not a big deal if I do but just curious.

My experience is that once ebates credits it does not go away. I have had Target cancelled orders after ebates credited and I never lost the ebates. I have also made returns (not sure about Target but definitely Belk) and I did not lose the ebates. Of course, YMMV, but I'm betting the ebates will remain in your account.

Also have both and also get locked out.

I have returned things and lost ebates, but it's rare. Like others, I've also gotten ebates for cancelled Target orders.

I have received Ebates on things I've returned. I buy clothes online when stores have sales & then I return whatever I don't like/doesn't fit. I do get Ebates for them and I don't think I've ever seen any disappear - I have seen them disappear when I cancelled a hotel reservation.

Although I did have about $3-4 disappear from my balance last week and I haven't figured out why; I didn't go back and look too hard though.

I know people had asked about the reliability of iconsumer for cashback. I just got an e-mail from them that they mailed me a check for my posted cashback through April 30 (it takes ~90 days to post), and they are working on getting paypal and ach set up. It probably won't come before I leave for Disney Sunday, but it seems like a good sign.

I got my iconsumer check today, and notification of my $18 for my purchases on Tuesday

Ebates does clawbacks for JCP returns. I haven't been able to find any portal that doesn't. I make alot of regrettable purchases at JCP. I'm trying Chase Ultimate Rewards now.

I bought over $600 of JCP gcs last week at Ebates when they had 15% & 18% cashback. I tried w/ $200 and when it actually posted I decided to got back for more.

I have so many gift cards that I have nightmares(but awake) that I've had a stroke and I'm mumbling about gcs and checking the mail.

 

[StuckInKS]

I have that problem too. I'll walk into a target and think, okay, shoot, where is x in this one? Because all 4 of them are laid out differently.

My problem is when I find one that has a healthy supply of Disney $100 GCs and I'm trying to go back and get more. I'll think I know which now it was, but once I get in there and look for them, i'll then remember that it was a completely different one. Its hard when they are all laid out mostly the same and there are so many around.

I just got this $50 Target gc in the mail. Used several small extra gcs that was on Target acct.

I looked at fred meyer last night and they have Ebay gcs. Fred meyer was always bottom of my list because they don't carry Target gcs and they don't categorize as a grocery store for my Amex Blue. I just got the Chase Freedom which does consider them a grocery store (from what I read) so I plan on hitting them up Friday.

I have always kept my ebates from cancelled orders, including the order that I cancelled on my own a few days back...feel badly about that 'a little' but I am also doing a ton of buying in store and skipping ebates so I don't feel *that* bad lol. But never returned anything. If they take it, it's not a big deal but I was curious. I am trying to think if I have ever returned anything to any store and lost my ebates and I can't remember that ever happening.

That is so cute! Did you choose the design online and chose mail delivery?

 

[ColoradoDisneyFamily]

If your ready to do some shopping Target has the $50 Disney cards back in stock

No one has to lose for all to make money. All we are doing is playing the arbitrage between a buyer and seller. There are investment bankers and hedge funds that make their living from this. They find a buyer who is willing to pay one price and a seller who is selling for a lesser price. They buy from one then sell to the other. They keep the difference.
We are doing the same with GCs.
Stores are marking up their goods by as much as 100%. They can afford to sell GCs at a discount.

I started with $0 on my credit cards and no gift cards. I've now ended with $0 on my credit cards and no gift cards, but I have $3000 cash that I did not have before. That money came from SOMEONE. That someone in this case is a combination of Disney, Target, Ebay, GCM, Ebates, Raise, Cardpool, etc. I believe it is mostly from Target, and Target actually lost more than $3000 while some of those other companies made money from my transactions too.

The $3000 was not printed by me. The pool of money is constant... so if I gain $3000, someone else lost $3000.

Your hedge fund operator is similar. Every transaction he does, he's taking from his buying customer and/or his selling customer, some amount of money which is his cut. Think about it. If buyer simply met seller, they could have both sold for more and bought for less! They would both be better off without the middleman. But, his job is matching those up so he gets paid.

Now if hedge fund operator is a genius, he'll find a way to sell to buyer and buy from seller repeatedly... EACH TIME skimming some. $100 traded, $1 skimmed. Repeat. Now eventually, buyer and seller will catch on and see that they've been dinged for $1, 25 times. They will fire the operator for doing that. If he keeps it small and under the radar, and they do not know better, maybe he can get away w it. If he goes too far, they will see and fire him. It is exactly the same thing. We are doing this to Target, and we hope they never catch on.

Random thought:

I was focusing on Disney GC as the end result of my churning. A while ago someone mentioned that ebay carries Hotel.com GC. That got me thinking. Today I investigated and Hotels.com had an 8% off promo code which did work on Disney hotels. Not sure if they offer promo codes regularly but if so this is a even better way to go. Assuming you are planning on doing a room-only reservation. Also you can go thru eBates (or your preferred portal) for a possible 3% cash back. (It excludes purchases made with giftcards but we all know that ebates exclusions don't always apply.)

This also got me thinking about other vacations my family is hoping to take. I spent a good amount of time searching hotels.com, thinking about non-Disney trips my churning funds can go to. (Universal, Great Wolf Lodge, ect)
