Mypoints and Walgreens Gift Cards

[GOOFY4DONALD]

Can you still buy disney gift cards at walgreens with a Walgreens gift card? I have 30000 points on mypoints that I would like to use for our upcoming trip. Thank you

Anyone?

I used to be able to, but last time I tried, the answer was no. I think it just depends on the particular store and/or the clerk you get. You could also try buying some other stuff as well - sometimes that works. The last time I cashed out at MYPoints I just got a Target card, which isn't as good a deal, and bought a Disney card with that (with the 5% off redcard discount).

I did it a month or two ago.
The key is to not ask if you can do it.
The cashiers will say no, but the system allows you to do it.

I had a $50 one I took a chance with.
Got the WDW GCard and handed it to the cashier to scan.
Kept my WGreens GCard concealed in my hand until time to swipe.
Swiped it with my hand covering the face of it, and the register applied the payment with no problem.

Now, with you having that many points, I don't know if I would try too many at a time, just because it may draw unwanted attention to the fact that you are using them.
Then you may have the cashier say you can't do it, when in fact, you can.
I, personally, just would not want to deal with that aggravation.

I have been able to do it. But like the PP said, don't say anything or they may not allow you to.

Thank you for the replies. I may just try one at a time. We have 2 Walgreens and I know which cashiers won't let anything through and which ones will. There's a young guy that works in the morning and couldn't care less. I'm pretty sure I could buy duct tape, a knife, and serial killing for dummies and he would give me his usual 'hey'.
