I was just at Target yesterday and I see that they have installed some self-checkout lanes. Can someone give me a brief reminder of how to scan the Disney gift cards properly? So far, there is no signage indicating that they cannot be purchased through self-checkout so I was thinking of giving it a try.
On a (mostly) unrelated note, I did want to mention my experience with making a purchase that included a Disney gift card and paying with a Target gift card. Earlier this year, I bought 3 swimsuits which cost about $130 total. I intended to try them on at home and return those that I didn't like. I also "cashed in" my $50 Target card for a $50 Disney gift card. I paid for all of it together, knowing that I would only get the 5% discount on the $130 which I was putting on my RedCard. When I came back and returned 2 of the 3 swimsuits, my ENTIRE refund amount was given to me in the form of a Target gift card because I had used *a* gift card on my transaction. It's not what I wanted, since now I still have the $130 RedCard bill to pay. There is two issues here...first, I'm glad I had the $130 budgeted to pay the bill since I was really only planning on keeping (1) suit for about $40. Second, yes, now I have a $90 Target gift card to use on my future purchases, but I will lose out on the 5% RedCard discount on my clothing, groceries, etc. Lesson learned? From now on, when I convert a Target gift card to a Disney gift card, I will ALWAYS do it on a separate transaction, or add it to my groceries which won't be returned anyways.
