Help combining gift cards

[NatsFan78]

I have four $500 e-gift cards, a $100 e-gift card, a $50 physical gift card, and a $25 physical gift card. If I add one of the $500 cards to the $50 gift card what happens if I try to add a second one? I know the limit is $1,000 per card. Do I have to wait until I spend enough to fit another full $500 on it? Does that make sense? I’m terrible at explaining things. I am trying to figure out the best way to manage my cards. Thank you for your help.

You can't have more than 1k on a card. You have to combine entire amounts of the card. Your best bet is to combine the two 500 cards onto the physical card and then all the rest onto another physical card.

Anything that gets refunded, like if you pay for a room with a gc and then cancel, goes back to the original card. It's not recommended to combine cards you've paid for a room/package on until you know you won't get anything back, like when you are there or have traveled.

This and most other gc questions can be asked and answered, or have already been answered in the Disney gc thread.

You cannot have more than $1K on a single GC. Here's what I would do:

1. Add the $100 eGC and the $50 & $25 pGCs to your account.
2. Transfer the $50 and $25 to the eGC. You now have $175 on the eGC.
3. Delete the eGC from the account but don’t lose its info. Keep the 2 pGCs on the account.
4. Add 2 of the $500 eGCs to the account. Transfer both of them to one of the pGCs. You now have $1K on that pGC.
5. Delete the two eGCs from the account. They are now empty.
6. Delete the pGC that has a $1K balance on it. Keep the card in a safe place.
7. Add the 2 remaining $500 eGCs to the account. Transfer their balances to the remaining pGC.
8. You now have 2 empty eGCs and another pGC with $1K on it. Delete all of them from the account. Put the pGC in a safe place.

In the end, you have 2 pGCs with $1,000 on each of them plus an eGC with $175 on it. If you want everything on pGCs you can purchase a $25 pGC and transfer the funds from the eGC to it. You will then have 3 pGCs: 2 @$1,000 and 1 @$200.

This is perfect, thank you so much for your help!
