Disney Gift Card Deals

[Mike&AllisMom]

I need some advice on a Target order. It was supposed to arrive 5/12. We live in Kansas very near the Missouri border and on 5/13 I received this notification:

Lees Summit, MO, United States 05/13/2016 7:09 A.M. Package routed to wrong local post office. Package will be transferred to correct post office for delivery.

Now Lee's Summit, MO is only 25-30 minutes away, so USPS mail for both my location and this town go to the main KCMO PO to be sorted and sent to the local POs. After Lee's Summit, my order went back through the KCMO main PO again and now this is what the status has said for the past 3 days:

Indianapolis, IN, United States 05/17/2016 12:09 A.M. Package processed by Post Office
Indianapolis, IN, United States 05/16/2016 1:04 A.M. Package processed by Post Office
Indianapolis, IN, United States 05/15/2016 11:19 P.M. Package processed by Post Office

What is going on?!?! Why is my package sitting in IN? Now this was sent UPS via Mail Innovations, so it gets transferred to the PO for delivery. Do I contact USPS since it has already been transferred to them or UPS?

With us leaving tonight, I am very frustrated with this order!

I would start with USPS.

I'm in PayPal digital hell.

The BB GC -> eBay GC worked so well at the store today that I decided churn through again for another $300 in BB GCs and now I've spent over an hour between PP and eBay trying to unlock my account. PP said it was eBay's problem (after going through all the personal identification info) and eBay says that the error is on PP's side. I'm now on hold with PP again.

Welcome to the club!

Same thing happened to me and it was eventually Paypal that fixed the problem.

Has anyone else bought the SW airline GC's that are currently 15% off? I bought $200 last night and I cannot figure out how to get the codes. In 'My ebay', it says "Please see your purchase confirmation in Messages to view your voucher." There is nothing in my messages about this. I have bought SW gc's before from PPDG and the codes have always been emailed to me. I'm so confused!

ETA: Maybe they are just still processing it?? Just never saw that message before when I buy from them and they usually email the code in about an hour. But I see they say to allow 24 hours.

I have the exact same message on the $200 in Carnival cards I bought last night. I don't see anything in my messages regarding the order, so I hope that means they are still processing. I purchased a hotels.com card from them recently and it came through much quicker though.

Welcome to the club!

Same thing happened to me and it was eventually Paypal that fixed the problem.

The ironic thing here is that if I wanted to make a purchase using another eBay account (seller) which is linked to the same PP account, I don't get the error. It's only the "buyer" account that I have an issue with. So this tells me that it's eBay's problem and not PayPal. I think that I will "unlink" my PP account from the eBay "buyer" account and then re-link it to see if that works.

ETA: Yeah, that was useless as well. Now, my PP account is unlinked from eBay and cannot be relinked. I keep getting booted back to the "log into PP to link your account" page once I log into PP.

For anyone that has had luck with sears/kmart gift cards, ebay has $100 Sears gift cards for $85.

I haven't but I've read others have...

Tried at my Kmart on Sunday and was told they have 2 rules for gift card purchases

1. Max GC purchase is $100

2. The only form of payment they will accept is cash!

These "rules" seem to be local store rules due to some recent ATM card theft issues and GC fraud in southern New Hampshire or so I was told by the cashier. Going to try a Massachusetts Kmart and see how that goes...

I hope it works for you! It seems to be YMMV for sure...

 

[disfanforlife]

I had $348 in ebay gift cards left. I used $200 yesterday to buy BB fro PPDG no problem. Did another $100 this morning - easy. Decided this afternoon to use up the last $48
on another $100 - I entered in the gift card number and then when I tried to log into paypal to pay the rest I got the error code that others mentioned. I have no idea if my account is locked or not, but I am not trying any more today or calling. I will test it out again in a day or two and hopefully it will be ok - otherwise I will assume I am locked out too. SIGH.

 

[Moramoon]

So i went ahead and got the sears card for $85, a game stop for $50, and a $100 best buy. I went ahead and checked out not really thinking at the time. I was updating my spreadsheet and noticed i only got $12.70 in ebucks. I knew that wasn't right. I ended up looking at the stipulations on the offer and it's for items of $100 or more...wanted to put that out there so those who are looking to spend don't make the same mistake I did.

 

[wolfies30]

I went to make my first Cardpool purchase yesterday. It was for $25x2 in gift cards. I was cancelled for "Risk Assessment". Does anyone have insight on what triggers their cancellations? I'm not buying large amounts, multiple times per day, etc. it was my first purchase with them, using a debit card, and it was $50.

Any input would be appreciated, as I'd rather not continue trying, if it will be fruitless.

 

[uncharch7]

I think the world might be ending. I got 2 PPDG orders to go through today. I already did eBay-BB-eBay today once, now I'm waiting on my second BB order to come through. Hoping it does in the next 45 minutes because there's a BB across the street from my son's soccer practice. If I can make it go through a 3rd time, I'm really going to be convinced the world is ending after yesterday's 7 or 8 lockouts.

Also-this morning I tried paying 100% with eBay GCs and it worked. Yesterday I tried paying with mostly GCs and a very small balance on a CC. So far so good today with just repeating my $150 GC purchases. $30 in eBay bucks, 2x$5 extra CB on ShopAtHome with $150 purchase, and 1.5% cash back on $150x2. Not bad considering our limited options right now!! I still have no cash tied up in churning, this is all from Target GCs accrued over the past year in the $5 or $10 GC w/ purchase. I'm also sitting on some cash from eBates that I need to throw into the mix since I was unsuccessful yesterday.

For those sitting on ebay cards (with or without PP issues) and not sure what to do with them, here is a suggestion that sounds good to me. Purchase discounted Sears card for $85 (if you have 5x, make sure you add at least 2 to your cart, so you are over the $100 minimum) (there is a limit of 3 per account).
Without 5x, you will get $1.70 in ebucks, now you are down to it "costing" you 83.30, use a portal for another $1 or $2 in savings. Total cost of the Sears card is about $82.
You can then sell it to a giftcard site, I use GIFTCARDZEN.com, and right now it is buying Sears at $82.00. (this could change, but usually not by much).
Once I know that the sale has processed (a day or two), I then can go buy any gift card that I want with my credit card (usually go to Kroger for target or ebay to maximize process), knowing that in about 3 weeks I will be getting a check from giftcardzen to pay for it.
If you do this process, and also have the 5x, you will make money in the process. Plus these are not PPDG, so you can take advantage of the promo, even if PP is not cooperating.

No, it doesn't work for me, I tried at our one Kmart awhile ago with no luck.

Error Codes: 70245 70358 TRANSACTION_REFUSED

Any help? I bought one GS voucher yesterday, now I can't checkout of ebay...

Error Codes: 70245 70358 TRANSACTION_REFUSED

Any help? I bought one GS voucher yesterday, now I can't checkout of ebay...

This is what happened to me all night last night/all day today.

2 reasons I got, in my 3 attempts at calling:

1) At one point when I tried to check out last night, someone tried logging into my account from Chicago and it locked my account.
2) I was "trying to purchase it" too many times and it froze my account (probably because PP made me verify my account 5000 times!!!!)

After calling Paypal 3 times they were able to unlock my account so I could make a purchase.

 

[JKalai]

I hope everybody gets everything resolved with PPDG.

I went ahead and threw everything back into GS with physical gift cards through GCM with the 10% ebucks promo and then I'll go into Gamestop and transfer back into Ebay when I get them.

What good is $500 for free that you can spend on pretty much anything you can imagine... [?] Ebay sells everything but true love... and I guess Target cards when they run out.

I do love eBay, but I have to admit that I have racked my brain trying to figure out what to buy. Best I can do is DS's college textbooks (sometimes) and Lowes gift cards. I don't want to purchase junk that I wouldn't have otherwise bought just cause I have the gc's. Would be ideal to reduce monthly expenses somehow. I need a new (used) car. Can I buy that on eBay?? If you are willing to share, I would love to know what you're buying! I would just churn BB to Ebay if PPDG wasn't such a pita!

I'd be interested to know what everyone gets on eBay too. I buy gift cards & an occasional item (daughters hair supplies & coupons) but that's all.

 

[lorijohnhill]

I buy all kinds of things on eBay, but I really don't want to "waste" my churning money on frivolous items. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get my eBay GCs back to Target, Walmart, or PayPal Cash (to use at Sam's Club). I don't have the 5X promo, so I'm using the time to ponder.

 

[MichelleB]

I didn't get the promo either. I've got $1000 gc in eBay so am considering options.

I got the same problem. Paypal has lifted my limitation, but I still can't access eBay checkout. As soon as I click proceed to checkout, it just gives me the error. Or if I get to the checkout page, it prompts me to log in my Paypal account. Once I do, that error appears. SO FRUSTRATING!

Same here-I tried PPDG once this am and didn't work so after yesterday I didn't bother calling or trying again. I did however use a small eBay coupon I got that expires in a few days to purchase a physical panera gift card from SVM so I know my PayPal account is working PPDG just doesn't like me
Guess if GCM doesn't restock target cards I will need to find other physical gift cards to cash out.
