Universal Gift Card?

[SwirlyGirly]

Is there a way to prepurchase Universal gift cards? I know when my kids get to WWoHP, they are going to drive me mad asking for this, that and the other. I thought if I gave them each their own gift card and allowed them to make their own choices on how to spend their money, that would be both easier for me and a good lesson on economics.
I looked online and I didn't see anything. Can someone point me in the right direction pls? TIA

I have purchased 3 of these gift cards at our local grocery store in Pa. called Giant Eagle. We will be at US / IOA in 1 1/2 weeks and hope to use them at that time. I just hope the are good for most purchases.

I would reccomend going with a Prepaid Visa or MC that you can get at Walmart or something instead. I have heard of some people having issues with where they can use the Universal Gift Cards at.

I have one for my DD (7) that has a small amout on it for when we go on vacations. She knows this is her spending money for that icecream she just has to have or the Suess stuffed animal We have done this since she was 5 and she has gotten pretty good at knowing how far to stretch her money.

i agree ^ get them a prepaid Visa or other card.

You have to exchange a Universal gift card at GS for Universal bux. We don't know why (kinda dumb imo), but I wouldn't want to take the chance on losing any of them.

In PA and Ohio, the grocery chain has specific Universal Gift Cards and there are fuel perks so you can get the cards and it saves you on gas as well. We did this last year.

Silly Sassy, we did this last year and you cash them for universal bucks when you get to the park. We did it the night before going to the park in City Walk. The universal bucks could be used for food as well as souveniers. Hope that helps ease your possible worries
