Quick question about e-gift cards.

[crazymomof4]

I've been doing perk and swagbucks and getting the e-cards for target then purchasing Disney GC.

Question: I don't have a smart phone. If I wanted to redeem the GC I get through Swagbucks and PerkTV at a brick and mortar store, how would I do it w/o a smartphone? (I am thinking PAST the Disney GC that I need for our trip. Like after the trip, if I continue to do SB and Perk and want to use the GC for household items)

When I redeemed mine from Target, they gave me the option of printing the gift card to use at the store. I ended up loading them in to my Target account and purchased Disney gifts cards plus some other Christmas gifts I needed online and applied the cards. All on my laptop - didn't use my smart phone.

My advice is to use some of those gift cards to get yourself a very inexpensive ($15) pay-as-you-go Android smartphone. Not only can you use it to load the Target app on, but better still, you can use it to load Swagbucks and Perk apps on to earn even more money! The phone will pay for itself in less than a month.

I have 4 Android phones ($9 each) and an old IPhone of my son's running Perk all day. I don't have them activated to a plan purposely. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom. So, I'm home 99% of my waking hours. Here at home I have 2 laptops, 2 Ipads and 1 desktop all with internet access. I don't feel the need to pay data charges and other fees associated with a smart phone just to have internet access on another device that sits around the house with me. I know I'm the exception, but given my lifestyle it seems like wasteful spending.

I was incorrect in my previous post. You cannot print one and bring it to the store. Sorry for the misinformation!

I'm glad you're not paying for a plan - I didn't explain that as part of my advice.

But you said you didn't have any smartphones... you have 4. Just load the Target app on one & bring it in to the store.

Yup. Target has wifi.

If you have a physical gift card from Target, you can combine your egift cards onto the physical one to use at the store. The only catch I see is that it asks for a mobile number to create the account. Since you have access to inactive smart phones, maybe a free texting app would let you create & verify the account. After that, you can use this site to combine... https://m-secure.target.com/giftcards/sign-in
