Disney Gift Card Deals

[la la limon]

Morning! Anyone have experience with a Target GC order that says delivered but never actually was? UPS says my package was delivered Wed. I have chatted with Target 3 times since then and twice they said to check again the next day. Now they are saying to wait until next Thursday (6 days after they were "delivered"). Plenty of time for some dishonest person to sell/drain these cards. Just wondering if someone else had this same experience and how it was resolved.

eBay cards are still missing from Target. When I click this link now, I get "Sorry, this item is no longer available". Anything can happen, as we all know, but it looks like eBay cards may be gone from Target for good. I guess time will tell.

It says "currently unavailable...try again later."

It says "currently unavailable...try again later."

That's strange...I'm getting "sorry item is not longer available" with a sad target dog on the screen.

I get no results found for ebay. Which doesn't bode well at all.

I'm trying not to get too stressed over this because, as we all know, things can change in an instant......but, does anyone else find it strange that both our major churning avenues are right now pretty much gone? I mean GCM is out of stock at the very same time Target removes (temporarily or otherwise) eBay from their site? Could they be working together to stop the churning or is that just crazy??

I would call UPS if it says it was delivered, but wasn't. I haven't had a problem with Target, but I have had with GCM. They messed up on a large order and had it sent to a different state.

Call UPS.

Call UPS.

Thanks, @razsav and @SUSIEQ. Target has really been no help.

I'm not going to lie - I'm much more concerned with the out of stock of GCM than ebay gift cards being removed from Target. I can always go to the store and buy ebay gift cards at Target (did that yesterday) but if GCM discontinues selling, churning basically ends for a significant portion.

IIRC it has been mentioned on here that you have to be booked through Disney directly to use GC for payments. Travel agents do not accept GC for payments.

Unless something has changed my last trip in 2013 was paid entirely with GC's through a TA

I know I'm probably grasping at straws, but if GCM was going to stop offering Target GC I would think they would have ended the listing rather than just reduce the quantity to zero. I'm really not ready for this to end yet.

Anyone know why eBay does not allow digital gift card sales (or emailing code after sale) for Target? Is it because PP has the rights to sell them and does not have authorization to sell them? Seems safer in that your not mailing "cash" to me.

I'm thinking maybe it's going to be ok with the eBay gift cards on target.com. Even if they were going to stop selling them online they would be shown online but just listed as "available only in stores". I think I would be more worried if I saw that. Hopefully not seeing them at all is just another temporary weird thing that will be back to normal soon.

Even if Target .com goes back to normal with eBay gift cards, I'm not planning on buying any until I see what GCM is doing.

 

[amandaz]

Can I buy disney gift cards with Walmart gift cards? Or would I have to go to SAMS to do this? Just trying to figure out all my different options for cashing out my ebay gift cards for my Sept trip if Target is no longer an option. Trying not to stress just yet....

 

[Eighty8Keys]

So I heard back from my email to Gift Card Mall asking if they plan to restock or are they are discontinuing offering Target GC altogether. The answer was as vague as I expected, but at least I had to try. Here what they said:

Hello,
Thank for your inquiry. If the cards are out of stock as soon as we get more stock in they will be shipped out.
We appreciate your business and are happy to assist you with your concerns.


Thank You

Sorry if duplicate info but I just ordered 50.00 Disney gc from target 2 minutes ago. Hopefully 100 back in stock soon

Placed a small order of a $25 Best Buy GC with PPDG last night, testing to see if this might work as an option for spending the $900 in eBay GC's that i was saving for a possible ebucks offer next week. Was a little nervous based on other people having problems with them. The order went through without any issues, arrived within 15 minutes, and I immediately purchased a $25 Disney Gift card from BestBuy .com for in-store pickup. Went through Ebates for both the PPDG and Best Buy transactions, nothing yet from PPDG, but I did get 1% on the Best Buy purchase even though gift cards are listed as excluded. Picked up the gift card in store this morning and noticed that my store carries both eBay and Disney in $25, $50 and variable load ($5 to $500) denominations. You can't order the variable load on their website, but once I'm sure GCM isn't going to restock Target, I may try to purchase them in store. This is assuming I'm able to place multiple orders with PPDG without locking up my account.

Another successful Kmart run last night. Mine has not restocked $50 gamestop, but I was able to find a total of $250 in $25 gs gift cards throughout the store. They also had a nice big stack of $25 ebay cards, for when I unload the rest of my sears cards (unless I can find more gamestop in Indy when I go there later this weekend).

I am willing to buy from PPDG only if I think there won't be a better offer soon, and probably no more than a single order of $500 about every 10 days. I will ask about digital gift cards at gamestop next time I am in flipping cards (the guys that work there recognize me, so I don't see an issue with tipping them off about anything). If they think digital are going to be an issue, then I will get best buy cards from PPDG and turn those to ebay. I was able to buy $500 in best buy on 5/2 from PPDG (required 2 account confirmations) and had no issues with the 3x on 5/9.

I got 3 x $200 in ebay cards from target .com during the 3x with no problem, but I am also not seeing them now. I've got less than $100 in target right now, so I'm not too worried about getting stuck with cards I won't be able to use. Hopefully there's just some sadist in target IT who loves to see everyone flail about in a tizzy for a few days, and everything will be back to working fine in a few days

How do you do your Sears/Kmart flip? Do you buy digital Sears and then spend at Kmart on eBay or GS?
