I could only order one per account. It used to be 2

You have to wait until the next day to order a second one.

PSA: It's back...

Best Buy has $50 Disney eGift Cards on sale for $45 right now. Instant 10% off. If you use a 2% cash back credit card, that's 12% off your annual dues.

Thank you!! Just took advantage of this.

I was able to buy 1 each for my account and my wife's account. Then I was able to buy 2 with my business account. It looks like 4 per day is going to be the limit for me.

I was able to buy two on my Best Buy CC. I got the code for both. My wife is trying to get hers now

I was only able to get one w/ my Best Buy CC. Same with my wife's account with her Best Buy CC.

The key to buying two of the Disney gift cards on the same day is to place each one in its own order. I did two separate orders on the same account, paying with the same credit card, only two minutes apart. Five minutes after the first order confirmation email I received two emails with the links to gift card codes.

 

[Masterbetatesta]

Yep, I learned that last year. I'd wait until I receive the GC in the email before starting the 2nd order. It didn't work this time for me though.

And last year somehow my wife was able to get two cards also using her Best Buy account (purchasing with a separate credit card). It didn’t work this year. I got the two via separate orders, but my wife got blocked. It stated she had already reached her max allowable amount. I think it’s blocking her because the mailing address is the same as mine (obviously).

I used a business account and was able to get 3 at a time.

I added all 3 to the cart at the same time and did a single checkout. Worked without any issues. I was able to do this twice. So that's $300 in gift cards for $270.

It doesn’t cost anything to convert to a business account in case anyone is wondering and speeds this up quite a bit.

Remember if you have not maxed out your 5% Chase Freedom Q4 category that Best Buy takes Paypal to save an extra 5%

Discover as well if you have that. 5% on Digital Wallets and you can pay with Apple Pay.
If you've got Rakuten, it will occasionally process for an additional 1% for 16% discount total.

I was spoiled last year by that 16% discount on $1000 from that site that's no longer reliable. So much easier to get gc at $1000 at a time vs. all the smaller transactions for lesser discounts.

I took a chance and had good luck but others that bought at the same time, not so much.

I've already maxed out my discover 5% with Apple Pay this quarter. But I was able to buy two different gift cards in two separate orders (about 4 min apart) on my same Best Buy account. Thanks again for this heads up.

I was able to successfully get $4000 in gc, but stopped getting more after hearing all the complaints

Thanks for this tip. I bought 3 together on my business account and was able to purchase 3. I just submitted another order for 3 so I'll see if it goes through again.

I was able to buy just 1 on my personal account and my wife's. 2nd try fails, I get a text that says they weren't able to verify my account.

 

[Masterbetatesta]

$600 total in 2 nights, not bad. The business account does let you get 3 at a time 2 times.

How do you change to a business account?

Edit: Never mind, figured it out!

 

[Masterbetatesta]

I just created a totally different account for business, and kept my personal
