Disney Gift Card Deals

[Minniekins]

Has anybody ever not received a tracking number from GCM, but they shipped it anyways? Today is the 4th day without them confirming that my cards are shipped with a tracking number on ebay.

Just wanted to see if this is normal or not... Thanks

Yep, back in late March, two orders in my account ($500 and $100), and Order in DD25's ($100). They were Target gc's. They still don't show as shipped. All were USPS since under $900. They all showed up in the time stated though.

I was wondering if this was happening to anyone else! Waiting on GS gc's. Right now mine still doesn't show as shipped yet either but says it'll arrive UPS today May 26th - Friday Jun 3rd.

This is exactly what's happening to me!

I usually get the tracking numbers the day after, but haven't received them yet. I'm thinking it might just be an error.

Hopefully they'll be in my mailbox today when I get off from work!

This happened to me once a month or so ago. It never showed up as shipped, but arrived in a timely enough manner that I didn't have to worry about it for long. Coincidentally, this was the one and only time Ebates didn't pay out. I was guessing because it never showed up as shipped. I wasn't going to contact Ebates because I paid with gift cards and didn't want to draw attention to that fact. I ended up emailing GCM to let them know that even though it didn't show as shipped, I did in fact receive my items in case they wanted to update the eBay transaction. I was hoping by doing that it would prompt Ebates to pay. Of course, GCM completely misunderstood my email and after a couple of exchanges back and forth, I gave up.

I've heard of this happening to others a few times. However, I have not received ship notification for my Monday order either. So this time I'm thinking there could be a delay if two of us are experiencing the same thing. If I don't get a ship notification by tomorrow I will email them and ask about it because it has never taken this long for me before.

ETA: I also have not been credited by Ebates for the GCM but my other transaction from Monday did credit after I got the ship notification.

Definitely lots of weird things going on with GCM lately.

UGH! I somehow deleted my spreadsheet!!!! I've been searching for 2 days to find the one someone originally shared with me so I can at least start over. It had the Return On Investment column and everything. I am cruddy with math and calculations and this one had it already set. It was a google doc/sheets one. Anyone help??!

I put one in post #13797. Not sure if that's one you were using.

Yes, I'm hoping so, as well! I was excited that monday thinking i may get them by today, so hopefully they show up tomorrow, don't wanna have to wait thru the long weekend just hoping for UPS to be coming soon.

I have already received my ebates for my Monday order that is still showing as not shipped. They showed up early Wednesday evening. I had this GCM order, and a PPDG order, that credited as well. I also received ebates for the orders back in March that still don't show as shipped yet either, but were received basically on time.

For those of you with Kroger and hitting up the 4x fuel points this weekend (14% return if you can maximize the full $35 gas savings) they have Target gc's. With Disney online back in stock I think I'll get $250 of target and turn them right into Disney for a 19% total savings for a quick boost to my vacation fund. Pending the 4x rewards applying to most cards of course. I'll know soon!

with all the drama around various eBay outlets I'm sticking with a low churn there of about $600 back and forth and looking to increase my vacation fund for October with a little less risk.

I'm headed to Kroger this weekend for gift cards. I've got enough Target but a little more won't hurt to get my June fuel points up to 4,000. Right now I'm just sticking with Kroger to Target to buy Disney. 20% discount will have to do

I'm doing the same but struggling about whether to purchase Target gc's or Ebay . . .

Hi! I'm a long time lurker, but couldn't remember my original account, so I had to start a new one.

I haven't been to Kroger in a while, so I just wanted to clarify.

Kroger- Buy Target GC's. Get the 4x fuel points by doing so.
Target online- use the GC's and RedCard to get 5% off Disney GC.
So I wind up with potentially free gas and 5% off the face value of what I paid upfront. Correct? Blah. I hate math, this all makes my head hurt, but I think the Kroger fuel deal might be an easy way to get my feet wet. HAHA!

Yes. Max discount is $1/gallon. So if you have 2,000 points you need to use that over two or more fill ups. Buying target at Kroger during 4x fuel points saves me about 14% (6% from Amex and 8% in free gas for my van which takes 20 gallons when empty). Some people bring two cars or gas tanks to max out the 35 gallons. Then I use the Kroger gift cards on target.com with my red card set as default and get another 5% off.

Can anyone confirm that Target or eBay qualify for the 4x fuel at Kroger?

Not yet but it's their standard coupon. Sometimes they run specific ones (e.g., movies and restaurants) but this one is general.

Kroger has quickly become my favorite gc place with the fuel points - thanks to this thread and reading up on Kroger option. I'm just sad I can't use it more! I only need 1000 more points through June so only $250 for me this weekend. I need to figure out if we can get the 4x online on these special weekends so I can order when I'm out of town for the next 3 weeks.

I've been having the same struggle. Starting with an eBay card at 14% off from Kroger then cashing in a promo for that 6-10% then cashing in for Disney. I've been nervous holding eBay because my accounts haven't been getting the same offers and once I use a card for one account it's linked then PPDG fails and I miss promo then the other account gets the next promo and my gc won't work because it's linked to DH's account! So I've decided to sit on my $200 eBay I have now and use that back and forth. I may add in another $400 but for now I plan to take my eBay portion of churning slow and focus on building my vacation fund for October up slower as I still have a good $3k to pay.

There was some word of a Target 10% coupon for this weekend..Is there any word on how many people have that? Is it good on GC's? Is it a generic coupon or a one time use coupon? If I can get something like that its time to cash out

Does anyone know if there is a limit on best buy gift cards you can use in store? We're going this weekend to buy middle DD her laptop for college next year and I have a bunch of $100 best buy gift cards to pay for it with. I hope it doesn't end up being a problem because there's a limit on number per transaction or something like that.

15 Per transaction in store.

EDIT: A while back I used a BB GC to buy a bigger denomination BB GC online. Might want to try that if it's over $1,500.

Thank you. I saw the part about the 10 per transaction online, but I guess I didn't read down far enough for the in store purchases. I'll see how many I have. Our purchase will probably be over $1,500, but I think I only have 13 gift cards, but I'll be sure to double check. Thanks again!
