My Points.....

[sarahlovesmickey]

Okay, I am really racking up the points at MyPoints. Is there any way to get a Disney gift card??? Do Walmart or Kmart have Disney Gift cards??? I know it's a stretch, but just curious.

someone posted once upon a time that Walgreens had the Disney gift cards. Double check with your local Walgreens to see if they have them and if you can use a Walgreens GC to buy a different GC. I am considering doing the same thing- I have enough points for $75 in Landry's gift cards, enough for lunch at Yak n Yeti for my family, but if I get more points before the trip I want Disney GCs!

 

[sarahlovesmickey]

ohhhhhhhh, I will have to check into that. =) Thanks for the tip!

I do not think they do sadly.

I feel your pain! I've been racking up points like crazy for the last 2 years. I've already cashed in for (5) $25 RFC GC's, (2) REI (1 $25 and 1 $10) for water bottles, and (2) $25 webcertificates which COULD be used to buy Disney GC's. Unfortunately, MyPoints permanently discontinued the webcertificates so that option doesn't work anymore. Now, I am sitting on over 10,000 points trying to figure out what to do with them. I will probably let them grow until we plan another Disney trip (currently, our next one isn't until 2012 and my dad is paying for that one! ) I guess I could keep saving. I'm sure by 2012 I'll have enough to redeem for RFC GC's so I can pay for our family of 14! I'll bet they'd love to have to swipe 15 GC's as payment!

The closest thing you could do is get a gift card for things you budget for every month, like gas or groceries. I cash out for Shell or Walmart and then when I use the card I take the $25.00 or $50.00 out of my account that I would have used anyways and buy a gift card (or disney dollars) at Disney. I too am bummed they don't carry Disney as an option.

Wow - I'm impressed! How do you get so many points?? I really need to look closer at that site! I've only really been doing the e-mails, using SR for shopping right now. I've been meaning to sit down & figure it out "one of these days...."

I use Lancome alot and I wait until they send me the bonus e-mail. I get 2500 points with a $50 purchase. If I need something before I get the e-mail, then it is still 2000 points. I guess that is where a bulk of my points come from. I also try to shop at B&N and Overstock for the 10 points per dollar.

Has anyone ever used the Walgreens gift card? When I click to redeem it, it says something like this: "Walgreens gift card is not an instore offer and Walgreens is not a sponsor of this program." I tried emailing mypoints about it but of course can't get a straight answer. Anyone know if the gift card can be used in the store?

 

[sarahlovesmickey]

thanks for all of your answers!! I truly do appreciate it!! I suppose I can look to see if they have any gift cards for restaurants. thanks again!!

This is what I am doing;

We are going to Tennessee this summer and since there are no rewards specific to that area, I am getting Cracker barrel gift cards to feed us on teh way tehre and back (and maybe buy a few goodies--as I LOVE Cracker Barrel gift shops)!

Last May, I got RFC gift cards, but don't think I'll do that again because a meal at RFC is time consuming.

Do Rain Forest Gift cards expire???

I've gotten the Walgreen GC before w/o issues. Maybe they are discontinuing it? That would suck since Wags carries so many other GCs that you can buy with their GC.

 

[sarahlovesmickey]

What GCs does Walgreens have???

 

[delmar411]

everything from gas station GCs to restaurants to stores to things like Itunes. Some stores have a better selection than others so it's best to check their offerings before redeeming for one.

 

[sarahlovesmickey]

Hmmmmm, too bad none of the stores offer Disney Gift cards. *sigh*

Just wanted to mention that typically you cannot use one GC to buy another. I know at CVS it will not let you put a CVS GC toward the pruchase of any of the other GC they sell. In fact, I fogrot about that amd it stopped it at the register. Just wanted to make you aware.

Wags does allow it. I do it all the time. You just swipe the GC at the machine then hit GC and it deducts it automatically.
