??? for those using Target red card to purchase Disney gift cards and purchase AP's?

[edk35]

Okay is there a way to use multiple gift cards to purchase an AP online??? Isn't there some kind of Disney payment acct. you can load your gift cards into? I noticed that you can ONLY use two forms of payment when purchasing an AP online.

Okay so how do you combine them??? So my friend wants to buy a bunch of Disney cards to purchase her AP's but the site says that you can only have 5 gift cards loaded.

When you enter the cards on the website there is the option to combine cards. You just combine the cards and delete the cards with zero balance. I did the same thing recently and put all the gift cards from target on one card and then used that one card to pay for the annual pass online. I'm saving all the cards until I use the annual pass the first time just in case.

The site gives you the option to transfer funds from one card to another

You can have up to 5 cards stored on your account, and you can transfer fund's between them. One of those is designated as the primary card.

In addition, there is an option to transfer funds from a new card (not stored) to three primary card. That option can be found on the drop down menu under Manage Cards and then Transfer Funds. You'll then be given the chance to enter the card's number and security code. The funds from the new card will be transferred to the primary card listed in your stored cards.

It's pretty simple, once you locate the transfer option.

Side note: if you call to pay with many gift cards, they will tell you to go on the website and combine them and call back.

I see everyone else answered it, but I just wanted to clarify the limit...I'm not sure if it expressly says it on the site that there's a limit, but I know when I had a card with $906 and I tried to transfer another $100, it wouldn't let me. I've paid for my entire trips by combing cards, then I just delete them from the website after the payment goes through.

By the way, if you purchase the cards online from Target and are an Ebates member, you get another 1% back.

Darn I always forget to use ebates... I wish I had known this before I renewed 2 annual passes! But we still have the resort to pay for so I am definitely using this. Thank you!

The $1,000 limit is mentioned in the FAQ section on their site: https://www.disneygiftcard.com/ProductInformation/About

If you need more than the $1000 then you can put them into a Disney Vacation account: https://disneyvacationaccount.disney.go.com
The vacation account number can then be used like a gift card #

I didn't think this was valid on gift card purchases.

I think Disney cards aren't considered "gift" cards. Gift cards aren't supposed to get the 5% Red Card discount, but it works for Disney cards. I think it's an "entertainment" card.

That's a myth. The RED card 5% discount policy only excludes Target gift cards, not any other gift cards. But I think the comment above was about ebates. Yes, they exclude gift card purchases, but many seem to slip through the cracks.

From the FAQ on the Disney Gift Card website:

What is Transfer Balance?
The Transfer Balance page allows you to consolidate your cards. For your convenience, you can transfer card balances from one Disney Gift Card to another. You can transfer any amount up to $1,000, but don't forget that each card can only hold a maximum value of $1,000.

I know it was about ebates, but I thought maybe that target discounts them is the same reason you get the 1% ebate, too.
