Disney Gift Card Deals

Wow. Everyone killed the deal already. I am greatful that ppl post deals but when ordering some may try and kill it immediately without even thinking

So all of my $50 cards have shipped, but the $100 one I ordered yesterday was cancelled. I don't think the $90.25 was put back on the Target gift card yet. I tried to combine it with my main card I keep for combining, and it's telling me there is nothing to combine. I'm guessing there is some delay for putting the funds back? At least it's just 1 card to keep track of that should be refunded.

Edit: I tried adding the gift card to the Target mobile site just to see if it would show me the history and it gives me this "giftcard in force closed status". I guess I first used the $90.25 then combined the balance online. I'm noticing that other cards that I combined the balance give the same message, but cards that I used fully will add to my account and show a $0 balance with history available. Has anybody encountered this? Target has to refund me for the order they cancelled. Am I going to have to call to get the card un-force closed?

Rule#1- don't combine Target gift cards that have been used to place orders until you are sure your orders have shipped. You will have to call, and they will issue your refund onto a new Target gift card. They can't "un-force close" a gift card.

Okay, thanks. I guess I'm paranoid about using the balance right away which is why I combined. I will know better for next time. Guess I'll give them a call.

I see that someone ordered 67 cards...no wonder they ran out and stopped the offer. That is wonderful that they were able to save that much money, but unfortunately if many people ordered quantities like that, the rest of us lose out. I guess I will have to finish ordering my cards and be happy with the 14% off I get. I was trying to save enough to take my grandson on his first trip, but I guess I will have to work some more overtime instead.

I checked my order status online earlier and three of my six orders have been cancelled. I only have a refund back on one on my Target e-gift card right now. I haven't touched them since I placed the orders Friday so if the money isn't fully refunded by tomorrow I might need to call as well. I'm still waiting to see what happens to my other three orders as still no shipping or cancellation emails have been received. Clearly it's a mess right now

Anyone else not seeing their refunds yet if you used a Target gift card?

Has anyone had any luck with the actual stores honoring the $5 off coupon code? Only reason I ask is I was just at my local target and noticed they had plenty of gift cards in stock... was too chicken to ask!

Sully, Target does have their own 5 off 50.00 deal right now. I don't have the coupon, but there is another site where people were buying thousands of dollars in gift cards with Targets own coupon. It's likely why they fixed the entire 5.00 off 50.00 for all cards. There were two different deals going at the same time.

 

[KJMAX1]

Just checked, the Target code ended last night since the new sale started today. They did mention it was because Target did a Black Friday sale last week, and they run this promotion in November again for Black Friday, so you can save your GF and buy more then. I'm going to plan for that. Someone on another board bought Southwest GC since they are going over Christmas.

I just checked my orders few minutes ago, one of my 5 orders has been cancelled probably because it was placed after 11pm Friday night. Nothing happened to the eGiftcard yet I used to place order yet, I will wait till Tuesday to see if they fully refund to the eGiftcard. It is a mess now so give them one more day

 

[mkymouse40]

I didn't know Target had the $5 offer also on all their cards Too late now.

You'll work no more overtime than you had planned to work last week before this deal existed. It's not like your vacation suddenly rose in price. Don't try to guilt people who had the means to take advantage of the deal when they did.

 

[Tinkerbellerella84]

I did the deal 17 times and so excited I did....now I only own $1000 more and everything is paid off woo hoo!

 

[jessie31383]

I called Target just to find out when they would have the card in stock again, not asking about any coupons or anything, and they said that the gift cards will be back in stock on Weds.

 

[Tinkerbellerella84]

think they will run another $5 coupon anytime soon again?

Several months ago, I ordered Target gift cards on Raise, and used them to buy several $50 Disney gift cards on Target.com. I realize (from reading the above) that there was a promo going on, and the Disney cards are sold out.

Just curious...when they are back in stock, am I still good to go with the same thing I did last time (Raise, then Target)? Just want to make sure nothing has changed since I did this many months ago. I don't want to be stuck with the Target gift cards! I was hoping to use some $100 Disney cards to buy Halloween Party tickets. I think I would have to first combine all of the Disney gift card balances onto a single card so that I can use it for the tickets online.

Please let me know if this sounds like a good plan or not. Thanks!

 

[KJMAX1]

Lisa, they are just sold out and someone called a Target said they will get them back in stock on Wednesday. You can still use Target gift cards to exchange for other cards.

Well, my lousy (1) order for giftcard with the discount code got cancelled :-(
So either it got cancelled because they are out of stock, or it got cancelled because they got on to us and we were not supposed to use the discount code on disney gift cards

Even if the Paypal offer goes away (which I think is an awesome offer) you can still get the "Raise.com" discount (or other sites discount) on target cards and, at least currently, get the 5% for the red card. This is still an awesome deal.

For those complaining about others who made large orders, all I have to say is that I don't fault them for trying to maximize their benefit. I did not get to order ANY cards yet because I am still waiting on my "Red Card" to get "approved" and/or mailed to me. Am I upset that I was not able to get an awesome deal? Sure, but that's life. Another awesome deal will show up at some point. It's that whole "Early bird gets the worm" thing.

I also don't think the deal is "Dead" (so to speak) rather I think they just "Sold Out" and need to get more to fulfill the orders. I am sure it will be back up in full force soon enough. So to all.... Save On!

Well, this is good to hear! Will keep an eye on that and when I see them restocked, I'm NOT going to put off using the offer til the next day!

Anyone know if Sears (online or in-store) sells Disney GC?

I don't fault people for wanting to maximize their savings. But I do believe that when you place 60+ orders in a very short period of time, it brings the loophole in the offer to the attention of a company's loss prevention division. Unlike you, I do not feel that it's only a matter of waiting until they have more Disney GCs in stock. The offer no longer works for any other GCs that are still in stock on the Target website. It won't work for Disney GCs when they get more of them.
