Help Me Navigate the Gift Card option to pay for park tickets!

[GPC0321]

Okay, I'm an idiot or something.

I have $1150 worth of Disney Gift Cards on the Disney gift card site. I've combined them into one $1,000 card and one $150 card.

I want to purchase 3 3-Day Park-hoppers with these cards. That total comes to $1102 (and change).

It only allows me to put in ONE gift card when I try to check-out, and naturally it says there's not enough on that card to pay for the tickets. How do I get the second card on there?

I tried going the DVA route, but when I want to make my one-time contribution to the account, there is no option to upload gift cards!

Help!

ETA: I guess I can purchase the tickets separately, can't I? DUH! LOL!

I had an issue like this a year or two ago too. I never found a way to use more than one GC. I think I called and did it over the phone instead.

I just split up the purchase. Bought two tickets with the $1k gift card. Then transferred the $150 to that card and went back and bought another ticket.
It worked. All done. Yay!

Transferring money between the two registered cards or calling to purchase using your gift cards are the two options you have.

Right. I had already transferred to the maximum of $1,000 and wasn't allowed to transfer anymore. Since the total for all three park-hoppers exceeded that, I had to split the purchase. It was no problem.

I hate talking on the phone, LOL.

If it's a brand new DVA account, you have to open it with a $10 cash amount. After that, you can enter gift cards.

Aha! Makes sense!
I managed it without the DVA account, but that's good to know in case I opt to open one in the future.

The Disney Vacation Acct. takes 2 or 3 months (I forget) after opening it to use the funds, keep that in mind. But you would have gotten another $20 gift card for that $1000 purchase. I just loaded over $5K in gift cards onto one and used the funds a couple days ago.

No. You have to "schedule" a $10 cash deposit, but you can cancel it after you deposit a gift card.

Nope. You have to wait 120 days after opening the account if you want the $20 bonus, but you can spend the money immediately if you need to.
