Gift cards

[Conniequeen]

Went online to buy a couple of gift cards for my grandsons. Only 3 would come up. I called shopdisney for another reason, after I got that taken care of, I asked about the gift cards. They now only have 3 to choose from, and they are not making all the different ones anymore. It seems that Disney keeps taking things away from the consumer, than charges more. I’m planning on going for my last time in 2021 for the anniversary, if I’m not totally priced out.

Do you mean different designs?

Yes. I just bought some this summer, but I guess no more.

Of you are travelling with him, they offer different gift cards in the gift shops at resorts and theme parks (near cash registers).

Ummmm ... I gotta ask. What difference does it make if they only have three designs of Gift Cards? Do you normally keep them or something after you spend the money on them? There are tons of examples you could probably use about them taking away or replacing things ... but the designs on gift cards?? And they cost the same ... they it isn't like they changed the price of a $50 gift card to $55.

Ummm ... gifts for their grandchildren! Some people actually like to put some thought into gift cards. When we go to WDW, I always buy our DDs a couple of GCs before the trip and try to get ones with either their favorite character, movie, etc. AND yes they keep them and when they get back home they write the dates of our trip on them and if they buy a big gift they write that on it as well.

OP - I totally agree about that it's just another cut that Disney has made. Here is a pic that I found. I found about 12 that I know I bought for my DD's and DW, from the picture.

I didn't know it was a thing. We spend gift cards and when the money is gone off of them have the store keep them - unless it is something we are going to add money back to for some reason.

It was a fun way to personalize a gift card (for grandkids and others). Target does a great job of offering a fun assortment, I hope they don't stop too.
