Disney Gift Card Deals

Looks like they only restocked a 1000 cards this last time.

That's not much.

Things would stay in stock longer if everyone would relax a little (both here and elsewhere). Get back to slow and steady... I noticed cards came in stock on the 6% day and then again yesterday... didn't even think twice about it cuz it's just business as usual. If you see that and post about it, you're just creating a false sense of urgency for everyone to race to buy them immediately and deplete the supply. This in turn just hurts your own profit.

You will make more money doing this if you stay calm, quiet, and unnoticed.

I love discussing methods and process changes, but just creating a race every time something comes in stock will only serve to deplete supply. :-/

But we need our fix. We are scratching and shaking with DTs because we can't churn. 2% is better than no percent. uunnnghhh

Sorry, I had to imitate a junky needing his fix. I still haven't bought any because I can't get a deal and stock at the same time. Patience is key.

I have been trying to find this option, how did you search. I want to be able to pick up in store. TIA!

I searched for Starbucks Gift Card. There were a lot of private sales, which I avoid, and then I saw this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starbucks-2...314d211&pid=100033&rk=3&rkt=4&sd=262075905712

FWIW nothing shows up when I search for Ebay. I can get it from the link but the option to add to my cart is gone and a little thing just sits there spinning like it is trying to load.

Mine too.

Just trying to order some eBay cards from Target. It is back to saying "shipping not yet available" and a little spinning thing.

This is such a good idea, especially w/ 10% Ebay bucks. I always like to have some gift cards on hand for gift giving. Plus I love to use SB gift cards in the parks!

I'm not having any luck either.

Womp Womp. Now to order some Targets from Ebay with no promo . I ran out of time before my stinking DL trip at the end of the month. TBH I am still cutting it too close for comfort.

ETA: WHAT??!! They are out of stock again! . There's not even a promo you idiots! (not you as in the members here--the collective buyers of Target cards.). I guess if we are being fair *I* am trying to buy $1200 in Target with no promo. But still. I need those cards yesterday and procrastinated and now I am mad at everyone else . AND I just woke up and haven't had any coffee yet.

doesn't help that the blog newsletter went out yesterday stating that they were back in stock.

as for target ebay gc the order I placed on may 9th said they would be in stock on the 23rd. so not sure what is going on with them

Well Said. Oh...FWIW I read "definitively" on another blog (not disney) that the Target/Ebay/Ebates deal is DEAD.Excellent way to spread misinformation... (innacurate info, but the blogs abound) it doesn't matter what blog, just google,there dozens of them.

Aren't you the one who cashed out to Disney in store when 5% wasn't working online because one store mentioned a policy change on purchases of gift cards with gift cards? (I did too

I generally agree, but really there are way too many players right now for my behavior to have any effect on my own profit.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the blog sites said that

Is anyone else getting their gift card bonus from DVA without a PIN? I saw someone else mention this awhile back and I had gotten one. I contacted customer service via email and never received a response. I finally called today and they said, "Oh, that's no good. We have to get you over to the gift card people to have them reissue it." Well, I ended up at the gift card folks and they said that this is CORRECT. They don't want you to be able to use it to put back into the DVA as it's "double dipping." (By what, like 40 cents?) She said it should still work at the parks, cruise, stores, etc. I'm not sure what to think.

I also commented that it's a little frustrating that I don't understand why we can't see what the status of our bonuses are (i.e. how much we've spent and how much we've received in bonus cards) and that we cannot. I also asked why it seems like every $1000 is now triggering a bonus $20 automatically, without requesting it. She said she would put in a request for the former and look into the latter and call me back.

IMO I don't think there is a rush going on for these cards. If you look at the purchases they average 4-5 purchases per hour. That's not a lot of purchases in the scheme. As others have stated I do find it interesting that the stock ran out with the majority of purchases being $150 cards (not many $100 or $50 being sold). It leaves me to wonder if GCM pulled the availability or just did not have a large order this time?

I saw it mentioned somewhere else as well. I have another $40 coming and I'm okay since we are spending one day pre cruise at WDW in August. So it will cover a meal and some snacks.

I completely agree about not being able to see the status of the bonus request. It's absurd.

What is this about auto-triggering? I've got a good $6000 in my DVA, it's past the requisite 120-days, and it's not triggering automatic bonuses. Nothing seems different from the past trips I've used this on...

You have to spend it to auto-trigger the bonus. Doesn't matter what's in the account.

GCM has had the verbage on their ebay listing for a few months to be watching for the availability of digital codes. I wonder if they are pulling the physical cards and moving to the digital ones? Would be cheaper I would think for them to email a code vs. having an individual ship all these physical cards. Also, cut down on all these delivery issues that seem to be happening. Idk...just talking out loud and hoping they aren't just pulling Target cards altogether...

 

[anricat]

The auto trigger thing is going to get old fast if I end up with a stack of $20 cards. I bought WDW tickets - $20 bonus. Put down a deposit on a new cruise - $20. Paid off my upcoming cruise - $20. Loaded my onboard cruise account with $1000 - $20 bonus. All but the latter of these, I popped back into my DVA, but if they all didn't have pins, that's a stack of 4 cards I'm carrying around with me on my vacation.
