Disney Gift Card Deals

Sure no problem, I'm in VA.
Has anyone from PA been successful today? We're heading there in a couple weeks.

I plan to try tonight or tomorrow.

I'm in PA (South Central). I successfully converted some GS to Ebay at 2 different stores on Friday and Saturday. It is def YMMV because DH tried at the GS near him and was denied by the cashier. She didn't even let him try to swipe. I think they might be a different region or franchise because I had no problems at the 2 stores closer to home.
Good luck getting them converted!

I ordered one $100 gift card Sunday and it's delayed until August! This stuff is so random.

Is it possible to just cancel the order?

Yes. It's a pain since it's 15 items (so I'd have to reorder all of those) but that probably makes sense.

I wonder if I go to a GameStop further away if it'll work or not. I currently have $500 in GameStop and another $500 on the way from the cardency deal. Worst case scenario is I sell them for a discount.

It can't hurt to try. It seems to be very random, but I do think it is coming to an end sooner rather than later. I'll probably cash out the ones I bought the other day for eBay and somehow try to get them converted to Disney. Good luck!

Yeah I plan to cash out one way or another and be done with it.

A few pages ago, someone reported success at GC>GC transactions at Walgreen's. Since I've only been here a few months, I could be wrong, but I think it was agreed that this method was closed off a while ago. So, I decided to utilize the "Contact Us" button on Walgreen's website and ask about using Walgreen's Gift Cards to purchase Disney. There is one about 15 minutes from me, and no other ones for about 45 min. The website says they don't carry Disney, so I wouldn't be able to use it, but others might want to hear what the company itself says. I've copied and pasted their response, which just was sent to me:

Dear _____________,

Thank you for taking your time to contact our Corporate Offices. We appreciate hearing from our customers and value all comments received. You are able to purchase other retail gift cards such as the Disney gift card you mentioned with a Walgreen's gift cards. I do want to clarify if the card is an in-store credit those types of cards are not able to be used for the purchase of retail gift cards but as long as it is a Walgreens gift card you are able to use it to purchase other retail gift cards.

Again, thank you for contacting our corporate office. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.


Sincerely,
Rebecca C.

I just bought a Walgreens card with my ebucks this morning to try it out. I'm heartened by this!!

 

[redgokart]

goodbye GS hello WG?

I may do this. I have $100 worth of eBay bucks.

 

[disfanforlife]

Me too! I ordered a Walgreens gift card with the last eBay flash promotion of $15 off so I was planning to try it with that card. I may order another one with my ebucks too if it works.

I tried Walgreens GC to GC on June 29 and was successful. They had both Disney and eBay variable load gift cards at my store.

I redeemed the last of our eBucks for a $50 Walgreens gift card from my account and a $25 from DS's. I redeemed most of our eBucks for Best Buy through PPDG and found that as long as I paid 100% with eBucks, PayPal didn't ask for any verification. So I purchased as much as I could of Best Buy and the rest went to Walgreens, paying any overage with my PayPal balance.

I contemplated churning eBay to Walgreens but I just don't have the stomach for it anymore. I wonder how fast Walgreens will change their policy if they suddenly see large amounts of eBay gift cards being purchased.

 

[lorijohnhill]

Whew!!!!! I am out of GS! I just got back from a different GS in my area with a bunch of gift cards in my hand! I had called ahead and said that I knew I couldn't purchase eBay cards with a GC, but asked about restaurant cards. He said he had seen notices about not selling eBay, Shell, and Vanilla cards with GS GC, but hadn't seen anything about restaurant cards and suggested I come in and give it a try. So, in I went. I bought my daughter two used games, $50 in Fandango, $25 in Starbucks, $50 in Applebee's, $100 in Chili's, and $200 in Southwest. I was really happy that Southwest worked. I'll save that for the next Disney trip we plan. We are taking a trip to the Bay Area later this month, so I thought the restaurant cards would be a good idea, otherwise I would have done all Southwest.

It is such a relief to have those GS cards out of my pocket with no $ loss! (Thanks for the encouragement, Lain!!)

For those of you who haven't had success at GS, were you using your member rewards number in conjunction with the purchase? I am always wary of providing them with my number and have only done so three times or so. I think maybe I won't be giving out my rewards number now. Also, anyone have any luck in the Chicagoland area recently? Thanks!!

No I never gave GS my rewards number and the employees in my store were more than willing to do it until the system stop allowing it.

No, I don't have a membership.

Can you call them and ask to split the order? I can understand they might need to wait a while for some inventory, but waiting until August for a gift cards seems pretty unnecessary.

From what an employee was saying on another forum, you can get flagged from trading in too many games within a month ($1.5k-2k) and trading in too many of the same game (more than 3). I've probably accumulated around 150k points with my card from churning within the past month or two as I always give my number.

My area seems to be really relaxed about everything, though. YMMV.
