NEW Disney Gift Card Deals and More.

[DaviVascaino]

Are you all paying attention to BestBuy App?

Disney gc is dropping on 3/19/25. Direct link
This is an App Exclusive and not online or in-store.
I do recall several peeps stating the last time it was quite a fiasco. Hopefully this time around it won't be.
I didn't participate, but I recall a limit of ONE per customer.
Please feel free to school me....

20%

Last drop that I did for Best Buy App on 12/4/24 the $100 card was $80 but as @FoxC63 said we won't know until it drops.

20%

Limit one per guest I assume?

That was all I was able to get. If you have another login and phone you may be able to get more but last time I believe it was one per account.
@FoxC63 did some research from last time and it looked like those that were able to order more ended up having the extra orders cancelled.

New to this forum and thanks everyone for all your inputs on DGCs. Do you know which Vanilla GCs works? I tried last week and it said "Contact Issuer" at the service desk.

Yes, only way to pay debit (with an actual debit card or a VGC coding as debit) is in person at service desk. I would definitely be doing it online if I could!

YMMV - be on the lookout for an email from Discover. I got an offer to use my Discover Card with Apple Pay. Spend $25 five times by 4/30, get $25 cashback. So 20% off. I think Best Buy allows Apple Pay so I’ll buy $25 Disney cards there.

The cards that Staples puts on sale for no activation fee every few weeks. Only the visa, not the MC.

I didn't believe vanilla work for much of anything besides regular in person spending. My memory is they are the most frustrating to burn but I may be confusing them

Thank you. With staples only $200 GC. I tried $500 GC from supermarket that didnt work. I will try Staples GCs when they put on sale next time.

The cards you want to look for at Staples are the blue Visa cards that say $200 on them and say This card issued by Pathward on the back.




The ones you want to stay away from and are more difficult to use are the ones that say Vanilla Visa. There are different types of Vanilla Visa but the most common one looks like this:

Do the Target Circle bonus offers end today? It says 1 day left, but I feel like that burned me previously. I was awaiting a Target run tomorrow but will buy DGCs tonight for a final step, if needed.

Mine said they expired March 9, but I wasn't going to take a chance and wait until the last day.

I note that this offer is slightly disappointing in terms of the points maximum. In the past, these offers typically came with a limit of 50,000 points ($50 in Meijer store credit, if used that way). So it was not too bad if you needed, say, a $500 Disney gift card for your trip. I wonder if too many mPerks people were utilizing that 50,000 max for the company's liking.

This offer is now back from today, 3/9/25 until 3/22/25.

I might have magic powers y'all! I was just thinking this morning how I wish Dollar General would come back with a big gift card special like they did back in December. And voila - look what's on sale this week:

And if you're lucky, your local DG will accept credit card for payment so YMMV.

I'm new to the PayPal debit/rebate thing. If I pick "gas" for my monthly 5% category, will I get 5% back on this purchase if I use my PayPal balance to buy a $50 DGC at a Meijer gas station??

Target has a circle bonus of "Save $15 when you spend $90 on travel, electronics, toys & more" and as of now the deal is working on the purchase of preapid phone cards. So you can purchase $90 of AT&T or any other phone cards for $71.25 with the redcard discount for a savings of 20.8%.

I say as of now because generally these circle bonus deals do not work on gift cards and we rarely see a discount this high on gift cards from Target so it is possible this is a mistake that will be fixed in a day or two. Many of us remember the Target glitch in October 2023 when they had a 15% bonus off your order and it was working on Disney and Visa gift cards. It lasted until around Monday night when Target fixed it. Many people saved hundreds of dollars on that deal. It still pains me to even think about that deal as I thought for sure they were going to cancel online orders (which they didn't) so I was about to run out to the store to buy the Visa gift cards in store when Target fixed their mistake and I was too late.

Moral of the story with these type of deals - you snooze, you lose!

I totally took advantage of that glitch in 2023!

I don't have a paypal debit card but my credit cards all have coded as Gas when buying the gift cards in the Meijer Express convenience store outside the fuel pumps.

Also check your Chase cards in advance if you are able to use a card to purchase gift cards. I have the following on two of my cards:

Trying to remember for the Meijer GC offer...it can be maxed out in 1 transaction, correct? i.e. I can buy a $500 GC and get the 50,000? Very timely since I'm heading to FL on Tuesday and have a few rack rate (shudder!) days at PO-FQ.
