We use our Disney VISA to buy Disney Gift Cards at BJ's and save $15 off each $500 card we buy. Then we use those cards to book our room and/or ticket package so you're getting savings right there. When you accumulate enough money they will send you a "rewards card" which is used just like a gift card.
Thanks. With my regard to my very old question, I wasn't really asking how it compares to other cards. I was really more interested in benefits it provides in terms of access or special discounts (which I long since received the answers to or learned on my own)
Just FYI - you would be better off buying Disney gift cards at Sams club and saving 5% (plus your 1% Disney visa). $15 off $500 at BJs is only 3%. Sam’s has $200 for $190 and sometimes throughout the year they have sales which end up at 10% discount (although those are limited to how many you can buy).
lol, no worries. Useful and/or up to date info is always helpful! But yeah, I know it was sometime last summer that I started the thread. I've since figured out how to use the card for my purposes
Not the original BJs poster, but as someone who does get the discount on BJs GCs, i can say the thing is is that where i live up in the Northeast we dont have a Sams Club, so although they may be better off or whatever, it nay not be an option. There is one toward the bottom of CT, but if you are high up in MA or toward Worcester etc., BJs is very accessible.
Opposite here, we don’t have BJs at all. But also, for sams these gift cards can be purchased online as they are electronic gift cards! A lot of times you can find a deal for a sams membership that makes it free or pretty low too!
ok - probably not worth buying a membership for an occasional online purchase of 2 extra percent, but maybe that will work for someone. Glad you have that store - I wish we had one to check out. BJs is a pretty good store. and as someone above stated, Black Friday usually has the GCs at an even greater discount. Last trip down I bought a 500 GC for 25 off. Many people up here do well with something called a Target Red Card but Im not sure what that percent is. I know it is better than the BJs or at least the same.
Yes target red card is 5% off. I use that one if I’m in a pinch and need last minute. Sam’s does run deals throughout the year when they do a $200 card for $180 (10% off). They do usually limit them to 2 cards I think, but last time there was a glitch and I was able to grab about 8 cards at 10% off!! So if someone can get a free membership with a promo then it might be worth it to grab a few of those. Otherwise, yes I agree not worth it if comparable to Target ref card which doesn’t require a paid membership.
If you have Price Chopper near you, they do the 5x points on gift cards and I use my credit card that gives 3% back at grocery stores, gets me 8% off.
Same for me. Our closest Sam's club is about 22 miles away (a 35 minute drive using a toll road; 45 minute drive without using the toll road). It's not worth it (to me) to pay another membership fee to just get the discount on the online Disney GCs. The BJs I go to is 7 miles away in an area I pass through at least once a week. I'm good with just getting that discount and stocking up on extra cards when they're on sale. We also do the Target Red Card discount.
Yeah - I have the card in a drawer which only comes out when we go to Disney or if they have those 5% back offers which they have from time to time in certain categories for a few months. As long as people have the ability to get multiple cards - no problem with the no-fee card to hold.lol, no worries. Useful and/or up to date info is always helpful!
