Disney Gift Card Deals

We're doing all of our excursions independently except for the Tracy Arm excursion which has to be booked through DCL. For the three of us it's $780 (which is a huge splurge for me). We did book a float plane to Misty Fjords and whale watching in Juneau independently and are renting a car in Skagway. Value is so much better than going through Disney.

I would have loved to have done the Tracy Arm excursion but our itinerary on the NCL Pearl did Glacier Bay instead which was amazing. GC's are def the way to go to save $$ on that excursion

If you haven't been before Alaska is amazing.
 
I work as a paramedic so when I am just sitting point (which can be for just minutes or hours on end), I use the mobile app to try the surveys. I can usually get one a day. I took advantage of the coupon print bonuses which got me about 1000 SB over just a few days. I play SwagIQ and earn a few bonus SB ( I only rejoin if it costs less than 10). I participate in SWAGO and the team challenges. I do the nCraves, daily poll and I print and use a few coupons. I do some of the offers but only if they are products or services that I am actually going to use. For example, the Pura d'Or shampoo offer was a product that I actually needed so I bought it for $15 and got 2000 SB for it. I was able to do that offer twice. My husband signed up using my referral code so he does surveys and videos and I earn 10% of his earnings. When he does an offer (he did Dollar Shave Club) I get the 10% on those too. I really only "actively" participate in Swagbucks for about an hour a day. It's usually while I am watching TV or before I go to bed. The app has come in handy...nothing like doing surveys while sitting at a 3-hour track meet waiting for your child to run a 30-second race:teeth:.

Let me clarify too...the $1200 is not ALL from Swagbucks. I also have a BestBuy Visa that earns 2% rewards on gas and dining and that lands me $10-$15/month alone. I also save my free-with-purchase gift cards from Target (about $5-$10/month) and I also scan my receipts with Fetch rewards (only have $15 total so far). I do MyPoints, but since they are owned by the same company that runs Swagbucks, I mainly just earn points with the paid emails.

For the most part, it's about staying consistent and keeping to a "schedule". Every morning, I get up and check my videos. I try to get a "set" running and while they are going, I do my daily poll and print a few coupons. As soon as I get some down time, I try to get a survey completed. I try to hit my first goal every day and then stretch it to 100 if I can. Just keep at it and remember that just 75 SB per day is enough to redeem for a $25 gift card every month:flower3:.


Ok! That is pretty much what I am doing too! I work full time but it is all at home so I run the videos etc... I should be able to get $25/month. I had not thought about using Target free with purchase cards to get a gift card! Great idea! I have one in my wallet right now!

I am thinking that I should get the SB Walmart card and buy gift cards at sams. That would be a double win!

We are not going until Dec 2019 and I am trying to get as much saved as possible!

If I ever go back I definitely want to see Glacier Bay. This will be our first trip and we are so excited!

We would have loved to have gone on a Disney Cruise (DD is now 8) but we really wanted to see GB and only certain ships have permits to go to GB. They only allow 2 big cruise ships a day to cruise there. We also could not justify the high cost of what DCL wanted compared to NCL especially with no GB. The cost for a comparable cabin (balcony) was over double what NCL wanted. In the end we upgraded to a 2BR family suite and it was still $5000 less than Disney.

We do have a Disney cruise out of Florida on our list of things to do as we know they are amazing.
 
Shopkicks gave me 2000 kicks for an $8.32 purchase at Auntie Anne’s. It was my first receipt submission so maybe that’s why so many kicks. I’m just happy I got such a great deal.

Just redeemed my kicks for $10 more in Walmart gift cards. Going to buy Disney gift cards tomorrow. I have a gift card with maybe $2 or $3 on it so I hope they have variable load cards or if not I’ll pay the extra bucks for a $25 gift card.
 
Hey guys just jumping in here since I did a search and I am trying to find any NEW info on the exchanging target gift cards for Disney gift cards to help pay for our trip. My husbands employer has Humana insurance and Go365 through there that rewards points for preventative treatments and activity like meeting 10K steps a day to name just a few ways we earn. I have been saving for a LONG time on this account to make enough to cash out for a target card to redeem for a disney gift card that was enough to pay for one of our annual passes only to find out that Target isn't letting you use target gift cards to purchase Disney cards. Are they enforcing this in the stores or only online? Any tips if I can use them. I see people saying yes you can use them in small quantities and some saying no. Wondering if anyone has actually converted any since they started this rule. TIA

It's been like that online for quite awhile. I converted $50 at my Target in the Denver metro last week with no issues at self-checkout.

If you have that much and you're concerned, I would go buy a $25 Target GC myself and then try to buy a Disney GC with it. Just what I would do in your situation, to make sure my store doesn't give me any troubles.

Thanks for the reply, did you use an actual gift card or a print out of the ecard or your phone. Just trying to see what will work best. :tongue:

Mine were print outs because I earned them from Swagbucks.

I used an actual gift card May 11 at self checkout with no issues also.
