We purchased 5 APs in April by applying the value of 5 unused two day tickets and the rest (about $1,800) in gift cards. It took a bit of time -- the system froze, a supervisor had to be called and they had to combine some of the GC into a larger card -- they were all $50 GC -- but it all worked out in the end and we saved almost 10% by using the GC (we got them at Target when they allowed the Red Card and pharmacy rewards to be stacked).
