Disney Gift Card Deals

2% Ebates is back at Target .com. I haven't tried to see if I can still trick it into giving me cash back on a gift card + add-on item.

P.S. I also just placed an order for GCs+filler with Ebates activated. Will report back!

LOL I was just coming on here to say that it was back! I just placed two order of GCs plus other items, so will post when I find out if I get the elated for the whole amount or just the non-GC amount.


Edit: I received the cash back for the non GC items only.

I had success today buying an eBay gift card with a Walgreen's gift card. I stopped at the Walgreen's by my house (<1 mile away) and bought some stuff on my list and added a $25 Walgreen's gift card. Later, DH and I went to the grocery store and on the way, I had him swing into a different Walgreen's (<2 miles away from home) so I could do my test. Sure enough...I walked up with an eBay gift card in my hand, told the cashier I wanted $25 on it and she said, "Just so you know, the machine prompts me to remind you that it is non-returnable". I swiped my $25 Walgreen's gift card and I was on my way.

Now that I have another option, I think I am going to use the following methods...
...BB rewards, and Target FWP gift card towards Disney gift cards...
...SwagBucks and Perk Rewards towards Target gift cards...use those in-store to buy eBay gift cards...
...Use eBay gift cards and eBucks towards Walgreen's gift cards and churn those when there is an eBucks promo...
...Occasionally(once a month, during a promo ONLY), use eBay GC/eBucks to order a small denomination ($100 or less) in BB gift cards from PPDG

I think I am going to split my eBucks ($213) into $100 BB and $100 Walgreen's. That way, I can still churn and I also have an "out" if I decide to just get Disney from either one of those two stores. It has been almost a month since I bought from PPDG (and I had no issue at all) so I think I will be OK....fingers crossed. If anything feels off about the transaction, I will just do $200 in Walgreen's. I'm hoping for an eBucks promo offer though. At this point, I am not in a hurry and I can afford to be patient.

My GS denied me buying eBay GC today with a GS GC. Same lady who is always there and has allowed before said new rules in place due to fraud. This was Littleton, CO...for any of my fellow CO churners.

Where are you all buying Walgreens GC's? Only seller I see on ebay is SVM. I'd like to pick up a small $25 just to try it but I can't find any at GCM type things at the grocery store. Do you just buy it from Walgreens and go back later with it?

Successful flips at GS and Kmart today. Still working in Southwest PA for now. I've cashed out enough for my Nov/Dec trip so I'm ok with taking risks with my extra funds.

The $25 one I bought at the Walgreens store just to test it out yesterday. When it worked, I used my eBay bucks to order from SVM.

Just received an email from Ebates for a $5 bonus when spending $25 at the following stores Best buy, Walmart, Kohls, toysrus, kmart, and BBB. Also found the offer under bonus offers on my ebates homepage.

I've had luck ordering $50 Disney GCs on BB .com with Ebates activated for in-store pickup -- even when paying with BB GCs. BB .com also lists $25 Disney GCs. I know a lot of us have had their BB GC> GC orders canceled by BB, but it might be worth a try if you're paying with a credit card. Reminder that if you have an Amex, there's an offer right now for a $25 statement credit when you spend a total of $250 in one or more transactions at BB or BB .com by 9/5/16. Amex has another offer for 2x Membership Reward points for shopping at BB .com.

ETA: I just purchased a $25 Disney GC with my Amex on BB .com with Ebates activated for in-store pickup, and the transaction tracked to earn me 1% or $0.25 cash back. I see the fine print on the $5 cash bonus says it can take up to 2 weeks to post to the account.

Where do you find the bonus offers on the ebates homepage (on what part of the page)? I can't seem to find it. It sounds like a great deal!

 

[Lain]

I see Amex now gives you the option to convert Membership Reward points to Target GCs at an exchange rate of 7,143 points = $50. Of course, you can then factor in an additional 5% if you pair the GC with the REDcard discount. Can anyone chime in whether that's a decent deal?

There are colored boxes halfway down the homepage and one states I have 5 bonus offers. But I also find them when I go to my account page and the bonus offers are listed under my cash back account.

Is there any way to know when there will be another 4x fuel point deal at Kroger?

 

[Lain]

When you type "Best Buy" or whatever other store into the search bar for stores, you're taken to the store's page on Ebates that should have the Bonus Offer in a blue banner towards the top of the page. Click "Shop Now" to activate the offer and be redirected to BB .com (or whatever).

Will the Ebates $5 offer work on gift cards? I didn't see any conditions listed on the offer, but at least with Best Buy and Walmart - we don't usually receive the regular Ebates rebates for buying gift cards. Guess we'll find out!

I see the fine print on the $5 Cash Bonus says that to earn the cash bonus, the qualifying order totaling a minimum of $25 must have been eligible to receive cash back.

Well, I just purchased a $25 Disney GC with my Amex on BB .com with Ebates activated for in-store pickup, and the transaction tracked on Ebates to earn me 1% or $0.25 cash back. The $5 cash bonus hasn't credited, but the fine print says it can take up to 2 weeks to post to the account.

FWIW, I have been getting 1% Ebates from BB .com for GC-only purchases with no add-on items.

ETA: The Cash Bonus is not showing up on my mobile app, but has been "Approved" on the desktop site. Under "Cash Back Balance," at the very bottom, is a separate category for "Bonuses," which then shows:

7/14/16 $5 Cash Bonus when you spend $25+ at Walmart, Kmart .com, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, or Kohl's. Approved $5.00

Thanks for the tip, @bargirl95!

Got my Cardency orders today for both accounts and I'm thankfully happy to report that I was able to flip a total of $1000 ($500 each at 2 different stores) successfully at GS today in the Downriver area for any of you southeastern MI churners out there. Given the increasing amount of denials lately throughout the country, however, I think this will be my last for GS. With my upcoming trip in Sep I'm in cash out mode anyway but couldn't pass on the Cardency deal for a quick $127. Now if only SVM would have another Sears $100 for $85 sale for a nice endgame

The GS I used last was at the Gettysburg outlets. I used physical gift cards. I, too, am near the MD border.

Thanks so much for sharing that info - was able to cash out tonight after I had just about resigned myself to buying Southwest gift cards! BTW, am located in Frederick but we used to live in Gettysburg.

Quick note on my experience which may help others: visited a handful of stores in MD and one in WV where I tried to buy ebay giftcard with physical GS gift cards. The credit card machines at each location was programmed to not accept GS giftcard specifically for ebay - I believe the cashier said something along the lines of an invalid tender, only cash or credit card allowed. I did a test and was able to purchase restaurant gift cards with GS so they are singling out ebay. May be time to cash out while you can...

It's a small world. When my DH and I first got married, we lived in Gettysburg but he was born and raised in Thurmont!

WOW...OK....Weird...

I went to Target tonight to pick up some stuff and received $10 and $5 FWP gift cards. I came home and decided to combine them with my other $10 and $5 that I already had on hand. As a habit, I went through eBates, but I only ordered a $30 Target e-card and I used my (4) smaller cards to pay for it. Imagine my shock when I just received an alert that I earned $0.60 in Ebates from my purchase at Target!

I expect that eBates will eventually reverse the credit since this would be a ridiculous way to manufacture earnings, but I wonder how many folks will jump on the opportunity to churn through hundreds of dollars of Target card purchases just to earn eBates??? Fortunately, it is very easy for eBates to reverse the earnings since there is no way to "cash out" at this time. This is quite the glitch.

That is so strange. I did one order with Disney GC plus shampoo and conditioner and only got ebates for the shampoo and conditioner. I did a second order, clicking through ebates a second time and ordered Disney GC plus two shirts for my daughter and didn't get any ebates for that order. So random!

I meant to put the second order through Perk to see how that works, but hit the wrong button.
