NEW Disney Gift Card Deals and More.

Kind of aggravating that it just went away. Oh well.

Here’s what mine looks like online, in the app it just shows the 15000 for each purchase.

What was the actual offer though?

10% off gift cards, there's also a Chase offer for 5% cash back. They're physical cards, but the shipping fee ($1.99/card) is minimal relative to the savings.

 

[UATahoe]

Yeah it appears that it’s not giving me the 10%. I tried another $500 gift card by itself. It’s how’s the same. Just 20% and no 10%. So maybe the 10% was never applied to either purchase. Went through the PayPal app and it said the 10% was activated both times.

Last year there was a deal where you could buy Giftcards.com giftcards for 10% off and then Disney Giftcards using those discounted giftcards for 10% off, with Chase offer for 10% cash back, and Swagbucks offer for 3% cash back. It came out to like a 28% discount. I wish I had bought like 10 grand of gift cards then.

That’s super weird, I feel like PayPal wouldn’t help if you asked or say “it doesn’t qualify as a gift card purchase” or something like that.

 

[Luna81]

Yeah. Don’t ask. Bringing attention to it makes it go away for everyone.

Probably so. I guess I will just leave it be. I anticipate the 20% to not go through but we will see what happens.

They know and (probably) don’t care enough.

Doc is reporting that Paypal has a targeted 20% back in points on apparel purchases and the 20% in points are posting at Target even when people are purchasing gift cards. I think this is a bad sign, as it points to a greater probability of paypal checking at the end which orders qualify and clawing back points.

Are there any Disney Gift Card specific deals out there for Black Friday?

Did you save the separate 10% off Disney offer? You need to save that offer and then pay in 4 for both offers to track (at least for me).

I just clicked on it within the PayPal app. Took me to the Disney store site. Added to cart and checked out. I didn’t add any coupon codes or anything. Once I clicked on the link in the PayPal app it said the offer was activated. That’s all I did. Ordered from this screen pictured.

Giving the PayPal offer a shot. My purchase for $1250 went through. All e-gift cards. Initially showed the 10% points pending as well as the 20% points pending. All gift cards delivered to email today. Now account shows the 20% points still pending but the 10% points changed to show 0 points. Anybody else have their 10% points disappear even after delivery of your e-gift cards?

My 3 transactions from days ago when this first came out shows the 20% pending, 10% pending and 0 for Disney store (not sure why) for each transaction (9 total lines under activity page).

So while i have the 0, I also have the others there under activity as well.

Not sure if it’s because I used my Amex as the payment option for the 4 payments or what it could be. Not going to complain if the 20% holds. Will call it a win.

I see all the DoC DPs about that...yeah it makes me nervous too. Are they going to go back and look at each transaction? If you think about it if they are able to do it post-offer why couldn't they just code it to check as people purchased? Either way I wish the points went from pending to earned so we could really go nuts with this one. As it stands now I'm not willing to do more than the 1250.

I used amex and JetBlue Barclays for mine, still ok

I sort of had that same thought. If all those Target gift card purchases are triggering the "apparel" deal, maybe it means that PayPal tracking tech on their offers just isn't all that great. Sort of like how Rakuten is pretty darn good at ensuring GCs don't earn cash back, while RMN tends to give cash for them. I'm still feeling cautiously optimistic on this one.

Also used AmEx, although I did not use the PayPal App. I saved the offer and ensured it was showing under my saved offers. Then, when checking out not the Disney Website, after selecting PayPal for payment, the 10% Disney cash back appeared as a small banner at the bottom. Mine are still showing as pending. It would seem weird if going through the app as opposed to a browser would make any difference, but I guess maybe?

Yes cautiously optimistic! But still wouldn't mind seeing those points go solid!
