Disney Gift Card Deals

Once you have GS GCs, what is the next step?

I am going to try to convert mine back into ebay. I've not tried churning at GS before so I am a little nervous.

I only ordered one $25 GC w/bonus and it came as a single $30 eGC.

Thanks. That's good. I was picturing having a bunch of gcs to deal with.

I am not able to purchase the GS GC on sale using Ebay GC'S.

so GS to Ebay just so that you can get the Ebay Bucks again?

Yes.

It would help to read through the thread as everything at this point is YMMV and your churning will depend on the area you live in.

 

[Phatscott25]

Not so much the ebucks but more so the quick 20% gain.

 

[lmtravis]

Thanks guys. I will need to scope out my GS before I jump on this one but appreciate the help!

Heads up before buying GS gift cards. I was at two locations today, and both were just emailed from the district manager to not accept gift card as payment for gift card purchases. This is a new policy for these locations so YMMV.

This was east of NYC.

If you don't mind sharing, what is your general state/location?

Went to a local GS that I had called over a month ago re: eBay GCs and GC -> GC purchases. It went without a hitch and I now have a $30 eBay GC to spend. Portal to portal, with a grocery stop included, it took me 30 minutes.

I also noticed that they had Southwest loadable GCs ($25-$500) on the rack as well. That's a possible end game if you want to get out of the churning process and need to pay for airfare.

Was the e-gift card sent to you separately from the shipping /confirmation emails? I still haven't received anything resembling a gift card.

Yes. Three separate emails...the order confirmation and shipment confirmation came from eBay. The actual eGC email cam from PPDG. Check your spam folder and if your PP account has a different email address from your eBay account, then check it as well.

Hmm, same email addresses for both and nothing in my spam folder either. When I click on the tracking number in the shipping confirmation email it shows that it has been shipped but not received. Also I get this message:



We'll see if I get it later today....

 

[Zhoen]

I'm not seeing them on PPDG. Did you guys snatch them all? ;p

 

[PerfessorZ]

I took lunch to think it over & they're out of stock now!

In the end, I think it's probable best I didn't jump on it until I see what happens after the dust settles at GameStop.

 

[Eighty8Keys]

Couldn't resist a 20% return (23% with eBucks and Ebates) and ended up buying the $25 GameStop card. Went to the GameStop by work on my lunch hour. Hadn't ever set foot inside this store before. Took @wolfies30 advice and was super friendly to the cashier while I checked out the gift card rack right next to the register. We chatted for a few minutes about The Sims, which I've played obsessively since it was released in 2000. Ended up buying a $30 Starbuck GC which we'll use on our trip. Had no problems whatsoever using the e-gift card. I have $1,000 in GS gift cards coming next week so this experience today eased my mind a lot about cashing those in for eBay.

Just as a data point, I live in the suburbs of Portland, OR.

I ordered two since I had one eBay card linked to my account with $48 on it. I only had to pay a little extra and now I don't have any eBay gift cards left. My GS doesn't have eBay cards but I plan to buy steam gift cards for my son for his computer.

You actually got about 17% not 20% on the GS gc. A total of 20% after ebates and ebucks.

 

[CandyCane31]

Just took my two $100 digital BB GC's from PPDG to my local BestBuy, bought a $200 eBay card with them. Smooth transaction! I was a bit nervous going in, but I figured oh well. No problems.

I think you're confusing other discounts where it looks like 20% but it's actually 17%.
Like spend $120 and get $20 back.
