Disney Gift Card Deals

I wouldn't worry about it. They'd be closing down a lot of accounts. That said, you never know what will get you banned from Swagbucks. I've done a lot more than you are planning to do in gift cards with QR code and I have no plans to stop. They have been running this too long not to realize they are paying out on third party gift card purchases.

I concur. I just mention it so people know all the risks. I’ve also run lots of money through SB fully aware of shutdown for no reason risks, so I drain my SB once I accumulate $25 worth. (The only reason I let it sit is if I’m waiting to cash out for a beginning of the month gift card.)

I hear you. I cash out every $25 as well.

Finally bought enough gift cards to pay for my trip. $3000 dollars worth of gift cards and saved 340 dollars to spend at meijer for groceries.

I didn’t say you would, but the internet is full of stories of people shutdown for no legit reason with this company. All I pass along is caution, whether it is warranted or not is your call.

Exactly! My SB account was shut down, and I didn't do anything different than what people on this thread are doing everyday.

Were you able to get it reinstated?

And that's why I figure I might as well keep going because pretty much anything can get you banned--so might as well make some money before the opportunity ends.

I don't have a Meijer's nearby, but there are 2 about 65 miles away. I'll need to buy about $3,000 worth of gift cards by the end of the year. Can you give me a primer on how you were able to get the $340 to spend on groceries? I have a very fuel efficient car so my local grocery that had fuel perks is not really worth a lot for me anymore.

So ... at your suggestion I cashed out of my first $25 at SB (one of the virtual Visas to use at ShopDisney). I'm mulling over cashing out on another $50 or taking a chance and waiting until next month for the discounted $25 gift card.

Question about Ebates (since there's no official thread): I made a reservation through Ebates for a rental car at Hertz. We originally had a larger car reserved because my parents were going to go with us. About a week prior we downgraded the size and thus decreased the price dramatically. This purchase/rental never showed up so I was going to put in a claim. But my question is, will they even accept it since the reservation was changed? Anyone know?

It's worth a try. My motto in life is: if you don't ask, they can't say "yes."

Sooooooo last night I realized that I have enough Shopkicks points for $15 in Walmart GCs, and DH has enough for $20. I had completely forgotten I made him download Shopkick back in Feb? when they ran a promo like 15 kicks per dollar plus Chase had the 10x points on some of their cards!

No, and I asked twice, very nicely. They also refused to tell me what I did wrong.

Nice! Didn't know meijer had them! I'm assuming you ordered them online?

whaat??! Why have I never seen this?!
So glad I found this thread

I'm so sorry! This is exactly why I always cash out every $25 as well, and try to play it as safe as I can with SB's. I'm sure you were doing the same as we all are here.

I *might* have stumbled upon a way to earn SB for Disney Gift cards, but it might not be worth it for most of you. In my quest to acquire my Disney gift cards without spending any money, I redeemed my Swagbucks for the Virtual Visa card. I went through Swagbucks to the BestBuy website and bought a $25 Disney gift card and used the Virtual Visa to pay for it. I earn BB rewards (which equate to 2.5%) on the purchase and I will report back if I also earn the 2% for the Swagbucks too. The gift card ships for free and will arrive Monday. There was an option for store pick up, but in the past, those orders were cancelled. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I won't be near BB today anyways so I wouldn't be able to pick it up until Monday so there was no reason for me to even try it.

UPDATE: The visit tracked on the SB site, but so far, it has not credited for the purchase. I received the confirmation e-mail from BB yesterday that it has shipped and I should be receiving it tomorrow. I am not optimistic that I will receive SB credit for it, but I know that shop credits from BB sometimes take a few days for the in-store ones to show up. I'll give this one a few more days before I lose all hope.

Well I’m shocked...I *DID* get credit for the Disney gift card! So this is one way to earn rewards on gift card purchases.

As an update on this, my amount has updated to the correct value and my reward is pending. And today my first order switched to available!

I had a weird RMN experience. I bought a $100 Visa GC online on 7/27, went pending after a couple days, and has an estimated approval date of 8/11. Two days ago I needed to get ink for our printer, so I purchased through Staples.... I was at $65ish, so I added a $15 restaurant gift card to the order to push it over $75. It's showing as ineligible with a purchase amount of $15 I'm not going to ask about it, but I definitely was over $75 before taxes. Just kind of strange.
