Disney Gift Card Deals

My order from 3/23 is still showing unshipped. Wonder what's up with that!

Question:

When Ebay Bucks promos are active, has anybody done an eBay > Gamestop email delivery > Ebay within the same promotion/day for double the EBay bucks? It seems like that's the way to flip it since you don't have to wait for shipping, right?

I've not done this b/c I don't do Gamestop but it seems like you should be able to do this multiple times over the couple of days that the ebucks promo is going on. I say go for it!!

I don't think what is going on with yours is the result of the storm. I am not sure what is up but my aunt, who lives in Houston, got her gift cards from 3/23 delivered this past Friday! And hers shipped from Denver too. I got mine from 3/22 & 3/23 today.
Have you sent GCM an ebay message asking if they have shipped? Sorry if you have posted about that already and I missed it.

Wow, she got some great service, as did you you! Lucky! Lol.

So, yeah, earlier I posted that I sent in a ticket. But, I just sent one for all four of the orders made 3/23 and one on 3/24.
Anyway, their first answer was: "Thank you for your inquiry about your order. Our system shows that those cards are currently in fulfillment and are being processed and printed. Once they are finished they will be shipped by USPS First Class Parcell and will arrive in 7 -15 Business days." Okay, so what does 'in fulfillment' mean? And being processed and printed? They're really printing them up? and 7-15 days? That's like two to three weeks from order time? And, the only order being shipped USPS was the $150 order, the 2 $900 orders should be UPS, and not sure on the $500 order. Ugh, just didn't make sense so I wrote back.

Their answer to that was: "Thank you for inquiring about the status of your order. According to our records, your order number 104xxxx was placed on 03/25/2016. Your order was shipped via USPS First Class Parcel mail on and should be received in about 5-8 business days after placing the order (with the selected shipping method). I apologize for the previous correspondence, the 7-15 business day time fram given was a typo. Please let us know if you have any further inquiries."

So, again it seems they really didn't put much into it, they have the wrong date for when the order was placed, that's the day it shipped. Seems just, not very helpful, lol, especially since they didn't even acknowledge that the order was actually, according to tracking, due today, that they were referring to. But I think that order probably got to the post office after closing or it's sitting in my work's p.o. box since there is not in person delivery, so all our mail goes there. I had my orders sent to our street address this time so I could get it without leaving it in my mailbox.

Sorry, it's confusing but, actually I was referring to all my orders in one 'contact seller' message, since 3 of 4 havent' shipped, I guess I clicked the wrong 'contact seller', since I had made four orders and they responded only to the small order that had shipped. Anyway, a couple hours ago now, I sent another ticket on each the $900 orders I placed on 3/23, same time as the order that did actually ship. I do have another order made on 3/24, no shipping there yet either, but holding off to see the response to tickets for the 3/23 orders. They are all paid, and they have left me feedback, but just haven't shipped. No idea why this is happening. First orders made on my DD25's ebay account, but obviously one order did ship so that shouldn't matter, and they were paid with my paypal. No answers yet and no shipping yet on the orders. The last I've heard on them was the confirmations.

I got a shipping notification on 03/24 for my 03/22 order and one on 03/25 for my 03/23 order. I was really surprised given the weather and the holiday.

Oh, that's good service then! That's what I usually get so surprised at this trouble with my purchases this time.

@Minniekins , sorry for so much trouble for you!And sorry I missed your earlier posting and you had to retype it all!!!

I ordered Lowe's gift cards on 3/23 also from GCM and those are not showing as shipped either. Now, I am not in a big hurry to get those like I know you are with the Target (I would be too!) but it definitely seems they are having some issues and not able to keep up very well from this last sale. I can only imagine how the lifting of the $5k limit has increased the number of people ordering.

Thanks for the commiserating, wendow! Helping to calm me down, lol. And, no worries, I didn't type out that much earlier lol, it's a bit confusing, lol. Hmm, yes, I'm sure you're right on that $5000 limit being lifted. But still a bit worried after I just was looking at their negative(5) and neutral feedback(8) in the last month, which isn't really a lot with the like 3400 good ratings for the month, and about 31,000 good and 360 negative for the last 6 months. That's like 1% I guess, so really pretty good I guess. People mostly getting empty cards that weren't fixed, and a few slow shipping. Anyway, hoping they will answer tomorrow and I'll see the shipping show up then! I need the cards back by at least mid April to start getting some Disney gc's for May trip! Argh!

Sorry to be so negative, just jetting obsessed I guess, lol, and things were going along so well!

5x Ebay Bucks!

 

[eeyoresmom]

I'm the person having trouble getting ebates to credit me for some of my ebay purchases last week. Here is the response they emailed me this morning. I have to rush off to work so I haven't had time to figure this out but right now I'm a little stumped because all of my ebay purchase last week were paid with gift cards
Ebates (Ebates)

Hello Christine,

It is not possible to earn Cash Back through Ebates for the portion of your purchase made using a gift card or store credit as the method of payment. This is why your first order from 3/24 was added and then reversed by eBay. Please see our Help/FAQ page for more information about earning Cash Back through Ebates. Here is a link:

5x Ebay Bucks!

and my 600 in target gift cards are suppose to be delivered today!!!

I'm nowhere near the 500 limit since I couldn't do anything until mid-February due to the 5k limit, so I'm trying to get in as much as I can before the end of the quarter.

 

[Vernie822]

You know I got all of my GC's from GCM yesterday (possibly Saturday, but I was out of town and didn't check until yesterday) and I said to myself last night "Self, you should do a transaction on Target tonight so you're ready for tomorrow just in case." Of course I didn't

 

[uncharch7]

HOLY CRAP I got a 20% eBay bucks promo for fashion categories and 10% on certain other categories-including gift cards!!!! Let the shopping begin

5x Ebay Bucks!

Ugh! And here I am with a bunch of Target GCs still in transit from last week! And they're not expected to be delivered today or tomorrow from what I can tell. I'm debating whether to bite the bullet and pay cash out of my vacation savings to take advantage of this. I still have a couple of hundred to go before I hit the quarterly limit. Hmmmm....I hate to leave free money on the table.

10x Ebay Bucks offer today

Will they be here by tomorrow? I know there's no guarantee GCM will have cards but it may be worth the wait, unless you need more and you need to add to the fund anyways!

I am in similar position and was thinking about doing the same exact thing!

It's 10% so that's 5x ebucks

 

[Marionnette]

It's debatable whether they will arrive tomorrow. Right now, the ones that were shipped via USPS are sitting in the main post office in Philadelphia and have not been sent to my local post office. The ones arriving via UPS are somewhere between Colorado and here with an estimated delivery date of Thursday.

Even if the USPS packages are delivered tomorrow, they won't be in my mailbox until 4 PM or even later. We get our mail very late in the day. By then, I would expect that GCM will be out of the $150 and probably the $100 GCs, too.

I don't need any GCs from Target. It's a question as to whether I want to leave free money on the table. 10% back from ebay, 1% back from ebates and another 1% from my credit card would be nothing to sneeze at. The money is already set aside. I'm leaning toward making a purchase today with cash and then making another one tomorrow using the GCs if they arrive in my mail in time.

I just used my $650 in Target gift cards that arrived yesterday to buy $700 of eBay cards from Target. I split it into two orders and added a pack of 3x5 index cards to one order and 4x6 cards to the other. My $14 in eBates has already credited. Now, to make sure that I receive my eBay cards and Target doesn't decide to cancel them. This will give me $220 eBucks for this quarter...my first attempt at churning...and now I'm hooked.

I know that it is not the "best" use of the eBucks, but I've decided to use $150 to buy a Hyatt gift card. We decided to surprise the kids and fly into Orlando the night before our trip is set to begin. They think we are driving across the state to stay in a hotel near the airport. Instead, when they get home from school, we're going to head to our local airport and fly to Orlando. They've always wanted to stay at the airport Hyatt (me too!) and now, I can do it for "free" using the eBucks and my $100 travel credit from AMEX. After this, I will go back to Target gift cards to complete my Disney gift card collection.

Gah! I can't checkout on Target. Keep getting the Oh No Something Went Wrong error page.

Yay! I remember you saying you were trying to save enough for a Hyatt gift card - that's perfect!
