Disney Gift Card Deals

[Lain]

I got an offer for $20 fees for June..... I don't really understand what that means for me tho...care to share why that's good?

eBay typically charges listing fees (which are pretty minimal) and final value fees (which takes 10% of your final sale price!) when you sell. They add up if you sell high volume or value, so if you can cap it at $20 for the month that can really save you some money.

DH and I have decided that I will start cashing out the funds required for our DL trip in November. It has been frustrating over the past 1-2 months. I haven't been having much luck with eBay churns since GCM stopped selling Target cards. So I purchased a $400 Disney gift card from a private seller this morning (100% feedback with almost 5k reviews). $409 with free shipping, but I made a profit of $3.27 between eBay bucks and eBates. I can live with that. And it is much easier than buying Best Buy gift cards and then trying to turn those into Disney.

Since I started my spreadsheet on December 31 last year, I have earned $2440 at a 100% discount. This is more than enough to cover our DL tickets, food and souvenirs with extra for our DVC dues and our next Disney trip in 2018. I will still continue earning free gift cards through Swagbucks and Perk and using those to churn, but I didn't want to find myself stuck without enough funds for our more immediate trip.

That is great! Good for you. I haven't tracked all of my earnings and now that there is not as much opportunity I am not going to. I am still going continue earning free gift cards through swagbucks and also continue buying BB through PPDG in small doses, so I don't get stuck with too much if that dries up. It is still nice to have some savings even if it isn't as much as it was for awhile. We are DVC members too and plan to go to continue going for many years hopefully and keep finding ways to get discounts!

Someone just listed $60,000 worth of Target GC's on Raise in $2,000 increments @ 2% off. Wow.

Yeah... I wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole.

It was probably Target.

I've searched on here and can't find it but I know we've discussed the other authorized gift card sellers on eBay. I know of GiftCardMall and SVM. What is the other one? I think it starts with an N?

I think it's National Gift Card. I've also purchased GameStop from Cardency a couple of times.

That was it! I found Cardency but can't find NGC anymore.

Ok, so I have taken a break from churning for a bit and now I am back reading up. And I have just a couple quick questions...

1. Looks like GCM is no longer selling Target Cards through Ebay, so the Ebay, Target method is out the door, correct?

2. You can only buy physical gift cards online with Target with a digital gift card, right?

3. So when buying a digital gift card at a discount through sites such as Raise or cardpool, you can still use those to buy a Disney Gift Card at Target.com?

Correct to all 3.

Correct to all 3.

Awesome! Congrats! I wish I had kept track of my saves.

 

[BruinEd03]

Thanks!

I'm reading your question #2 again, but just for clarification, I believe it should be that you can't buy digital gift cards with gc's.

Does anyone know if you can use a credit card to buy the Disney gift cards at Costco? I know they start taking visa soon and Chase freedom has 5% back at wholesale clubs so I was hoping to grab a few gift cards there for a small savings.

To my knowledge, Costco does not sell Disney gift cards (BJs and Sam's do). I have bought other gift cards at Costco and paid with a credit card. And yes, Visa will be accepted starting tomorrow.

 

[pinkxray]

Bummer. We only belong to Costco. Guess we will stick with the 5% with the Target red card.

Oh, ok. No digital, e-gift cards can be bought with any Target gift card?

 

[Moramoon]

That's correct

 

[JohnDaleswife]

That's correct

Ok. Thanks guys. Guess I'll just buy from Raise or Cardpool at a 5-7% discount and then buy Disney Gift Cards from Target at an additional 5% off.

Just wonder if they will eventually eliminate that method as well.
