Got a deal on Disney Gift Cards yesterday!!

[auger]

Now, mind you, this won't fly for everyone, but it worked out great for me!

Target had a special deal in their ad for Dial soap (bodywash was also included). If you buy (3) advertised packages for $3.99 each, they give you a $5 Target Gift Card.
Well, this is the soap we use. I normally buy it at Sams in a 20-pack.
Target's price of 10 bars for $3.99, slightly beat the price I always pay at Sams, plus I saved the 5% from using my Target CC.
So I bought 24 packs of soap for cheaper than I normally pay at Sams, plus I received (8) $5 gift cards.
I then used the gift cards to buy (6) $50 Disney gift cards and, again, used my Target CC to pay and save another 5%.
I ended up paying $247 for $300 worth of gift cards!!!!

Like I said, it works for me because I got a product I always buy at a cheaper price than normal, plus got the extra savings in gift cards on top of that!
Thought about getting more, but I think it'll be quite some time before we can use up the 240 bars of soap I ended up with!! DD said I reminded her of a mild version of an extreme couponer!!!

Oh yeah, almost forgot... I also found $100 yesterday while I was out shopping!! Wish there had been a way to figure out who lost it, but no such luck. So, I will use it to buy supplies for extra shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Target has Disney gift cards?

I haven't had my Target CC for long but I wondered how if you used the Target GCs to buy the Disney GC, what did you put on the Target CC?
I understood that the 5% is applied only to final amout put on card. Am I looking at it wrong?
I have yet to buy any GC on my Target card because I have enough GCs for our trip, but for future buys this would be a great deal!

You are correct.

I used the Target gift cards towards the purchase of the Disney GCs.
Then my Target CC 5% discount came off of the remaining balance.
I technically did not get the Target CC 5% off of the full GC purchase price.
That is why the amount was only $53 saved.
It would have been more had the 5% applied to the entire purchase.

It was still a great deal. I figured it came out to a 17.6% savings all together.
