NEW Disney Gift Card Deals and More.

Ok, maybe I should go back and snag them after all lol...

I would. My default is to buy two $200 DGC from Sam’s each month unless there is a better offer there or elsewhere.

Is the maximum from Sam's online four $200 cards each month or so?

It says so. Order 3 and then 1 and it lets me just keep doing that.

@Doingitagain Sams seems to be a YMMV situation. Many different reports, some people keep ordering on a loop with no issue, some get locked in DGC jail...They also seem to be much stricter when a holiday or Black Friday promo is stacked. Right now when I go to order online for instance, the $190s say "Max 4 per ORDER", while other times of year with higher demand it will say "Max 4 per MEMBERSHIP " and that's when they are much more likely to lock you out...but eventually they will unlock you.

I tried that, didn’t work for me. I ordered 3 Tuesday evening, then 1 yesterday afternoon. Tried last evening to order more & site wouldn’t add to my cart. I tried again this morning, got the same thing. I think you’re in a lucky glitch.

I also tossed the mailer! Should I pick through my own trash?

It may make you feel better to know my coupon was for a measly $10 off $200. Hardly worth dumpster diving. Though I might do it for $20.

If you put the Disney GCs at BJs in your cart and "Save for Later" , it will show you the current prices without leaving them in the cart. Nothing on extra sale right now.

isnt the target 5% back better deal than the Sams when purchasing the $500 card?

If you are not using a credit card that earns something back then yes 5% beats 3.004%

I usually am only buying from sam's if I have something up my sleeve that earns a decent percentage as well unless it is one of their doorbusters even the the $200 for $190 is only 5% off

Gotcha are you saying like if you have a chase freedom that has 5% back for that quarter on wholesale clubs, etc?

Yes or anything that would combine to earn more than 5%.

A card earning 2.1% or more would be better than Target by 20 cents or more on the $500.

Besides the $50 card the $500 is the worst value.

Better to buy lower amounts and then combine them at disneygiftcard.com

If $500 is the goal, I could buy 6 of 3 pack of $25 cards for a total of $431.88 which gives me $450 in DGC.
I could then buy the physical $50 card for $48.98 and that totals up to $480.86 for $500.
If I used a Chase Freedom Unlimited which earns 1.5% on everything I would receive $7.21 back. This makes the total for the card $473.65.

The Target $500 card when bought with a redcard is $475 which would be $1.35 more.

Target is by far the easiest place to save a straight 5% but you can usually get better deals by combine credit card rewards with savings elsewhere.
Sometimes though Target has their Target Circle offers where you buy xx transactions at $xx and receive target circle rewards for $xx and these can be worth it as the face value of the Disney Gift Card counts for the spend and not the actual amount you are paying with your red card.

This is like art. I wonder if we can use AI to help us get better deals or values or simplify things.

i asked best place to buy discounted GC

Final Thoughts

• Want simple and reliable? Head to Target with a RedCard for a smooth 5% off.
• Want to maximize deals? Use a wholesale club like BJ’s or Sam’s and stack with cashback or rewards.
• Want big bargains? Watch Costco or online marketplaces—but keep an eye on validity and seller reputation.
• Already part of AAA? Take advantage of that ~5% back in AAA Dollars.

I signed up for the $25 Sam's Club membership and ordered four $200 cards. I got a call back on my mobile phone (and Verizon marked it Potential Spam) and the person was calling to confirm the order. At first I thought it was just because it was my first order and it was electronic cards, but then I was concerned because they had asked me to confirm my email address and now I am worried that the cards would be hijacked or something. But I also hadn't verified my email address, so maybe that is why he asked? I canceled the order just in case. Anyone else had this happen?

I'm surprised Sam's even allowed you to place a $200 gc order without verifying your email address.

If it makes you feel better I got a BJ’s membership for the first time in May and I still haven’t received a single coupon for anything other than grocery and household items

They actually didn't, the first order they cancelled and I cancelled the second one. I didn't know I had to verify the email until I looked at my profile after canceling the second order.

@atoz786 The beauty of this particular corner of Dis is that all involved will send up flares when places like Sam's or BJs offer promos or coupons on top of DGC basic discounts. Then, stacking that purchase with, as @eticketplease mentioned, something earning 2% or more, puts you in a pretty good place. Deals seem to have gone dry for a bit ... so I had to "make do" recently for our party tix purchase with the Sam's $190s purchased w a 2% card. Hoping to do way better at some point before our Oct. trip for food/spending DGCs. But still better than straight Target discount. However, when Target drops spend offers that include DGCs, lots here jump on!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get a coupon soon - a good one!
