Disney Gift Card Deals

[Lain]

Hello all! Sorry if it has been mentioned earlier, I tried going through as many pages as possible, but just got overwhelmed. I paid for my last trip using the Raise>Target>RedCard process to save ~10-15%. It seems as though that no longer works.

Stacking discounted gift cards with the REDcard discount on Target .com no longer works because you cannot use Target gift cards to pay any portion of an order containing gift cards. Those orders are promptly canceled. You can still use your REDcard to get 5% off third party gift cards online and in store. And you can still use Target gift cards that you've earned or bought at a discount to buy third party gift cards in store, but you cannot stack this with the REDcard discount. You will receive the REDcard discount only on the amount you actually charge onto the REDcard.

I keep seeing people talking about BestBuy, is this the way to go now? Unless going through the whole PP eBay thing, BestBuy GC on the various GC sites are about 5% off, is this the standard savings to get a BB GC then purchase a Disney GC?

Best Buy gets mentioned because a lot of people are cashing out their eBay Bucks this month into Best Buy gift cards to redeem for Disney gift cards. There were also a lot of PayPal Digital Gift deals for Best Buy gift cards recently. Some Citi ThankYou credit cards also have electronics stores like Best Buy as the 5% cash back category this quarter. Various rewards programs/apps also allow you to redeem points for Best Buy gift cards. Outside of discounts like these, it doesn't make much sense to buy Best Buy gift cards to get to Disney gift cards. In particular, eBay has stopped awarding eBay Bucks for gift card purchases and you can no longer use eBay gift cards to buy third party gift cards.

Is the Walmart or Sam's club GC able to be used to purchase Disney GC? If so, what % does this usually net?

Thank you!

Yes. Sam's Club sells Disney gift cards at about 5% off. You can use discounted or earned Walmart gift cards to buy Disney gift cards. Or you can use a Chase Freedom credit card to buy them because that card is offering 5% cash back at warehouse clubs this quarter.

I haven't had much time lately to read whats going on with using gift cards to buy Disney cards. I have swagbucks to cash out. I hate to do PayPal as there seems to be problems with cashing out lately. Is there any gift cards to cash out for that i could then use to buy Disney gift cards? THANKS!

Ive been cashing out using the Visa gift card. I've used the visa online through Disney Store dot com for $25 GCS with no issues. I've been able to earn 2% back through SB for the purchase as well

I know a lot of us on here use the Target gift card deals to earn "free" gc to turn into Disney. I'm sure many will stack coupons and some deals can even be money makers. Be aware Target has updated their system to autoadjust coupons values down on any potential money makers (no money back) and if you purchase a set of items on a "deal" that's less than the gc you earn then the system will not prompt the gc.

Target is seriously cracking down.

I'm not sure if it matters to anyone anymore but I just got 10% eBay bucks offer if you need anything other than gift cards

Thanks. They have a Lowes gift card promo going right now. I almost forgot that we don't get eBay bucks anymore. Bummer on that, but still a decent discount for those who shop at Lowes.

Gone through and read some of these great tips!

I have a question for all of your gurus.....I live in Canada, but I do travel to the states roughly once every 3-4 weeks for work. It seems like most of the discounts or tricks for saving money are based in the US.

Any tips for us Canadians or how a Canadian traveling to the Us frequently could save some money - I've looked into the Target REDCard thing, but you need a US address and bank account to set up an account, unless I've just misunderstood.

Any tips to help assist in getting me back to the world sooner is greatly appreciated!!

It may sound childish but I refuse to buy gift cards on eBay anymore no matter what the discount. I want their gift card sales to plummet.

Very similar to the Raise-Target-Disney is Raise-Walmart-Sams-Disney. Below is the formula I've been using recently:

1% CC cashback
1% cashback from EBATES for Raise
4-5% Discount for WALMART GC from Raise
4% discount from SamClub.com for Disney GC (after shipping)
2% back from DisneyVacationAccount

Just have to be VERY patient with the WalMart Gift Card. Took about four days of refreshing to get the big discounted cards and had to be ready to jump. But, like the good old days, you can just sit at home and get a deal

Right now Sams Club is OOS on Dinsey.

I haven't seen This mention in a while discover has 5% on warehouse clubs this quarter as well as amazon.

I think it's just Sam's Club. Wish it included all warehouse clubs. Thanks for the reminder about amazon, I'd forgotten about that and have been using my Amazon Visa when I should have been using my discover.

Please refresh my memory- if I purchase Disney GC on Target (using Paypal or CC with Redcard as default) can I get the Redcard 5% plus cashback thru ebates?

No.

1. It says during checkout that PayPal cannot be combined with other methods.

2. You cannot use a credit card and still set your REDcard as default because a credit card and REDcard are both considered the same form of payment method (credit or debit card).

3. Ebates no longer gives cash back for gift card purchases on Target .com, even with a qualifying add-on item.

No you have to use your red card.

I'm not sure if it matters to anyone anymore but I just got 10% eBay bucks offer if you need anything other than gift cards

Something I find amusing about this is the email they sent me advertising the 10% bucks deal has a Concoco Gas gift card as one of the items to receive eBay bucks on:



I clicked the link through the email it is most certainly a gift card in the "Gift Card & Coupons" category. I wonder how they will handle it once someone buys one and receives no eBay bucks.

I also ran into something where buying something on Target.com instead of in the store doesn't trigger a gift card that was advertised in the weekly circular.
I needed new air filters for our furnace, and Target is giving a free gift card if you buy 2 of a specific size. I went online to 1) check that our size is available and 2) get Swagbucks for the purchase. Even with instore delivery, the gift card didn't show up. I used Target's chat option, and the service person said that ads don't always apply to Target.com, BUT since I was a good customer and they want me to be happy, she gave me a $5 gift card. And I'm happy!

I'm an avid Target couponer and I can attest to this being very true. There are lots of gift card deals that are in-store only and won't apply even if you order online with in-store pickup. On the other hand, there are some gift card deals which are online only deals too. The deals do differ a lot from in-store and online.

Does anyone know how long Sam's Club has been out of Disney gift cards online, and how long they usually take to come back? Thanks.

Sam's.com has the $150 back in stock

I finally got around to checking ebay, and I didn't get this. But ever since I found swagbucks, I am not as upset that they don't love me any more.
