Disney Gift Card Deals

[Minniekins]

Have you checked your spam folder for the emails?

Check your spam folder.

ETA: Oops. Every idea I had has been suggested already.

Yep, I had checked every folder I have, spam, saved, trash, drafts, any possible folder, but nothing. Thx for the suggestion!

This was a problem back when Target had 10% off eBay Gift cards. Over on slickdeals, some people had their e-mails filter (most likely Hotmail and Yahoo e-mail filtering doing a poor job) and couldn't find their e-mails.

This was the recommended solution. Didn't verify it, hopefully it helps:

"Cards marked as shipped but you didn't get the email or are having trouble retrieving them? To to TargetEcards.com[targetecards.com] and enter your order information. Enter 00000 for your zip code if it doesn't work with your real one. This should bring up a listing of your cards. Click print and a window will open with the code. If you get an error just keep trying."

But, this suggestion saved me in helping me get access to my ebay gc codes since I never got the emails even though they said delivered! Thank you so much for this, adudeinblue, it definitely worked great! I sort of didn't expect it to work, but, I put my info in with my zip code and at first, it didn't work. Oh, and I have aol email. But, I tried the little trick of using 00000 for my zip and it worked like a charm! I was given the option of emailing to a gift recipient, which could have been me so I could have tried email again. Or, you can just print out the gift card code and that's what I did for all 7 ebay cards I had, even the three I did receive in my email. I figured that might be easiest to have them all in one spot when I want to buy some target cards eventually. So, I can verify that this procedure does work to get your gc codes, and using the 00000 zip code was the only way it worked for me! Thank you so much for sharing this info, I hadn't seen it anywhere, and appreciate you sharing the info and link!! Awesome that it worked and it's so easy!

So we paid off our cruise balance last week and I just bought our 2 day park hopper tickets for when we get off the cruise and bought tickets for the pirates and fireworks event, all with my Disney gift cards. So far we have paid 100% of this trip with gift cards. I must admit it was a lot easier to swallow the ridiculous cost of the trip paying with gift cards and knowing I saved $1,500+. All I have left to pay for is a 3 day dining plan ($375 for the two of us) and then spending money. I've got 700 in ebay gift cards I need to convert to Target and then I'm waiting on a credit card sign up bonus which should net me 500.00 in Target gift cards. After that, I'm trading them in for Disney gift cards and calling it a day. All in time for our March trip.

I have loved the strategies and savings, but boy can it be stressful. I'm looking forward to taking a break for a bit and then on to saving for my next trip. We don't have another trip planned but I would love to 100% pay for it with free gift cards...kind of my personal challenge to see if it can be done.

Same thing happened to me. I went through Ebates and bought gift cards plus some grocery items. No credit in Ebates and when I emailed, they said you only get credit for buying gift cards on certain sites, Target wasn't one of them. They completely ignored the other items I bought. Not sure it is worth haggling over that though.

After you mentioned you saw purchase under SB, I looked and SB showed my target shopping trip with the correct order total. I did NOT shop through SB and I didn't get SB for the purchase. I don't have the swag button. I do have my search engine defaulted to SB. Left me feeling like big brother SB is always watching. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Toiletry and grocery items don't work for getting it to do cash back. Emailing them for credit does not work either because from target they don't normally give cash back on gift cards. It's kind of like a glitch. It has been proven to automatically credit with socks, erasers and rulers, things like that.

Anyone who is looking for Starbucks gift cards, raise has them for 12.2 percent off right now. I loaded up since we love breakfast at Starbucks in the Magic Kingdom.

 

[Ngwira]

12.6 percent now. I transferred them to my Starbucks card after purchase.

Be careful. It's been said that even after transferring your gift card to your Starbucks card that Starbucks has been known to drain the entire card if fraud was at all involved i.e. the discounted gift card you purchased was purchased with a a stolen credit card.

I've been reluctant to purchase Starbucks GCs from discounters. There have been stories of people having their entire Starbucks account canceled from adding these GCs to their card. Starbucks is pretty hard-nosed about not restoring those accounts nor the funds that were on them. So, I just stick to the Groupon deals and getting them from rewards websites.

I hope nothing bad comes from your purchase. I just want to toss that bit of info out there for others to consider.

Remember that Target sells Starbucks cards online. Decent overall discount if you buy the Target cards discounted and then purchase the Starbucks cards at 5% redcard discount - about 11% right now total. More if you add a rebate portal.

Yes, that's always an option and much safer. I go the Groupon or rewards route and get the Starbucks GCs for free or pay 50% at most.

These vouchers are sold by Starbucks, not a 3rd party seller. To clarify, they are store vouchers, not e- gift cards from individual sellers.

I have used them previously without a problem. I also only bought $30 worth so no harm, no foul.
Also, this is the language printed on the bottom of the voucher..."This gift card was issued by Starbucks Coffee".
After using one just last week, the starbucks BARISTA transferred the balance onto my starbucks account for me.

When I click on the little "i" info button next to where it says, "Buy Starbucks Coffee gift cards," it says . . .

"Please note, do not transfer gift cards purchased on Raise to your personal Starbucks cards or accounts. Raise is not responsible for funds transferred. Starbucks Corporation does not authorize sales of Starbucks Cards through this site and cannot guarantee that the card will function."

If the cards aren't from a 3rd party seller, where do they come from? Confused here.

They are definitely from 3rd party sellers. Anybody that says different is wrong.

Yes, I noticed that language and went back and took the one I transferred off of my account. The actual voucher says it's sold by Starbucks. I used it last week and the barista did not flinch when I gave it to him. He also transferred my balance to my card, so I'm also confused.

I'm curious as to how you know this? Not trying to be argumentative at all.

I also did a google search on fraudulent starbucks cards on raise. The one page that popped up detailed a person who bought $1200.00 in Starbucks gift cards..a huge amount. Some of them turned out to be purchased by a fraudulent credit card and when he transferred them to his account, Starbucks was able to trace the fraudulent cards to him.

I've sold some on there myself.
When I list them, Raise "holds" them for 30 days before they will even place them on the website. They told me this is due to all the fraud they have experienced with Starbucks gift cards.
When I list other gift cards, they show up on the website the same day.

 

[Ngwira]

Oh ok. Do the 3rd party sellers sell in round denominations, like ($10.00, $20.00, $25.00)? I dunno, maybe I lucked out? I don't want to put anyone else's money in harms way, I was just sharing some money saving tips since ya'll have helped me so much .

I would say that they sell in both even and odd amounts. I've sold cards that I've either won or been given as gifts, so these were even amounts.
I would also say you would be ok buying the cards as long as you used them within 100 days, and you didn't combine them with your other Starbucks gift cards.

Thank you for the tips, susieq!
