Disney Gift Card Deals

Does your friend enjoy visiting Disney parks, too?

You could say that... ;)

I really don't want to impose on them though, I'd like to keep things to an absolute minimum if I can. If I can get any discounts via online purchases (PayPal) made from here in the UK, that's great, but I don't want to have to ask my friends to have to do anything much more than act as a glorified PO Box.

I've been on a break from churning since March 15th because my Target orders for eBay GC's kept getting cancelled & I got scared that my account had been flagged. I just ordered a $200 eBay GC so cross your fingers for me that it goes through!
I received the $200 eBay card last night, so it looks like I am back in business! I will still try to space out my Target orders though, and only buy one or two cards at a time. I also cashed in MyPoints for a $50 Target card yesterday, so now I can get another $50 in eBay cards and have enough to start churning $750 at a time. I'm trying to do my churning in increments of $150 to save on shipping costs from GCM.
 
Thanks! I'm not going to call now. I will try again tomorrow.

Definitely don't call as a general rule. That goes for Ebay/Paypal/Ebates.....all of it.

Cancellations happen more often than not for some unlucky peeps but usually eventually they go through. I have somehow managed to only been hit with one, maybe two, cancellations before but I know it happens pretty frequently for some.
 
Question:

Does Kroger (or the Safeway/Vons chain--we have one of those too) usually run any gift card deals for mothers day? I need to buy DL tickets and OF COURSE I didn't think of cashing out my GC's for Disney before I converted them to Ebay. Besides, I need to meet minimum spend on my new SPG card. Anyway, based on history do we see fuel promos for mothers day? I would like to have the GC's in hand in the next two weeks or so.
ETA: I am a dork and was a month off for Mothers day. Haha. There are NO national holidays between now and when I go to DL.

So I received my $450 gift card order that I placed on 3/31 that never gave me a shipping notification. But the order on 3/31 that DID give me a shipping notification has NOT shown up ($100). Tracking says it's arrived in Anaheim which is the nearest main hub so all is well I think.

Thanks! I hate calling anyway. I have ordered around $3k successfully so I will just wait it out.

I'm pretty sure they do. Or maybe it's for graduation??? They used to do them four times a year for a few weeks but they have changed that. It seems to me that it's rare to go much longer than a month without a 4x offer.

Looking back at ads for both stores it seems like one or both had a 4x promo in April the last few years. Maybe I will hold off for another week or two. It kills me because I am a planner at heart and wanted to have everything done, paid, ready to go! Although DL tickets are easy because you can just print them off your computer. I have access to the "lifebalance" program thru my work and tickets are cheaper there than anywhere else, by at least $50 for the 4 of us. Its nice because its a link that ends up at Disneys website so I can still use Disney GC's to pay.

I thought the April one was for Easter. That got pushed forward this year since Easter was early.

I'm the same way. Trying to learn that saving money requires patience!
 
GCM orders - do you think the smaller orders of $600 or less take less time to ship than the orders of $750 or more that you have to sign for? I'm ready to order again and trying to decide if I should split it up.

Idk, my last two times were different. I received my bigger orders before the others, and still waiting on a $100 order and a $200 order. My $900 orders came about on time, though they used to come before that a few days ahead of time. I did get a $100 order yesterday that still doesn't show as shipped yet, so hoping maybe the other two come today. So, so far, my UPS orders seem to come sooner but who knows.

I don't find any rhyme or reason either in terms of the delivery of mine...smaller vs larger orders...some just arrive faster and some are slower. And I live like 7 miles from GCM lol.
 
I agree and had the same issue the last few times. The top number scratches off easily and the pin feels like it's taking numbers off with it. I never found a solution.
I try to use a nickel to scratch off the gray stuff, and if I have trouble reading the numbers, I get a magnifying glass to help me.
 
Can't you do this through ebay? I've seen the option before IIRC.

I don't think GCM offers a local pick-up option. It's just a large distribution center; not a storefront. Would be nice though if I could run over there and grab them!
 
I just finished updating my spreadsheet-I started churning on 3/22, initial investment was $240 (all in Target GCs I've been collecting through purchases there). I'm currently sitting on $340 in eBay GCs and $9 in Target-with $28 pending in cash back and $26 in eBay bucks. Not bad!!

Fun! I'll give my stats, too. I started 3/22 with only $100.00 but I've added in a bit here and there and I'm up to $275 in g/c's now (I've technically only spent $122 from my checking account, everything else was gifted g/c's) and I have $17 in eBucks, $21.94 in Ebates, and $17.78 left on g/c's not included in the $275 amount. Not major bucks, but it's a start!

I use the outside edge of a scissors, works pretty good. Sometimes, if there's some stuff still there, I've used an eraser which helped, too. I usually can't read since the numbers are so small, so I take a pic on my iphone and read it from there since I can make the pic bigger! Before using the scissors edge, I forget what I used, but about scratched the numbers off and had to really guess to get the number to work.
