There are a LOT of pages to read through here. And a LOT of creative ways to save. I'm assuming some of these ways have expired or are no longer valid. Could someone point me in the best direction? I need to buy 6 adult and 1 child 5 day park tickets (no hoppers).
I have a debit card.
I have a Target Red Debit Card.
I have a checking account.
I have Swagbucks, Ibotta, eBates, and can get any other rewards account if needed.
I have a Discover IT card but it only has a $200 limit. I will be increasing that but I think it takes a week or so.
My 60 day FP is August 6th so I need to be able to link tickets by then.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The cost of Disney Park tickets at
Undercover Tourist is a 6.5% discount over the Disney website. Assuming your credit card gives you 2% cash back, that is 8.4% so if you aren't getting at least a 8.4% savings, you are wasting your time and money.
As many have said, using the Target redcard and going through RetailMeNot nets you 9.75% (Not 10% off as some have said, since when you take 5% off of 5% you can't just add the 2 together.)
As of now, retilmenot has paid the 5% back for buying giftcards but we all know it will end at some point, just like the swagbucks. When will that happen? When enough people are doing it and retailmenot starts enforcing the gift card restrictions. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, it could be in 3 months.
So basically it boils down to, do you want to take a slight risk that retailmenot may not end up paying you the extra 5% or just buy the park tickets at undercover tourist for a guaranteed 8.4% and also have the convenience of saving time and not having to do any work at all combining gift cards, etc.
That is a question that each person would have to decide for themselves on a personal basis. I'm sure different people would have different opinions.
My personal opinion is that anything less than a guaranteed 3% savings is not worth the effort for me to start dealing with gift cards. Again, that is just my personal calculation of how much I value my time.
