Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

[terrybsw]

FYI - There have been a few Target Circle Reward offers that excluded gift cards, that's why I asked peeps to post their actual offer, not just the verbiage.

By posting your actual offer I can link them to the main posts and should others have questions, all they would need to do is look at the image. If what they have matches to a T, then they should be good to go as the confirmations continue to come in. Just saying.

These offers are different for different people and apparently based partly on your history with Target Circle. So posting the image would not necessarily be helpful.

@Shoshana
You are incorrect. Even though the Spend X amount & Get X reward might be different, it's the terms that make all the difference. Posting your actual offer is key.

Anyone ever had this happen?

I bought a physical gift card from Disney Store and I wasn't able to peel back the security sticker, so I scratched it off.

However, when I entered the Gift Card numbers and EAN (aka security code) it gave me an error. I re-read everything super carefully and noticed what I thought was a piece of the sticker still stuck on the card, so I ignored it, and typed all the numbers in again figuring I had made a typo. No luck. Tried one more time - still no luck.

I looked more carefully at it and realized what I thought was a speck of the sticker left on the numbers was actually a misprinted number. The number did not print fully and just a small black dot for the first digit of the EAN printed instead. Because of this, I had entered the EAN number wrong multiple times.

I do think this is a misprint and not a result of me scratching off the number as this is a plastic card not a cardboard one and the numbers are printed on in a way that you can't really scratch them off easily.

I wish I was paying more attention to notice there were only 7 digits in the EAN instead of the normal 8. I also wish DIsney would return an error message if you type in too few digits for the EAN like they do when you enter too few digits for the gift card number itself.

Now, if I try to check the balance on the card, it always returns an error. I believe I have heard that if you enter the EAN card wrong multiple times, it automatically will lock the card. Does anyone know how long it will lock the card?

Since only 1 number is missing, I assume I can probably narrow it down in 9 tries, if it locks after 3 tries, it means I could eventually figure it out and write it down. But I don't know how long it locks for.

I had this happen on another brand of gift card and sadly I never was able to get that money. I hope you get it sorted out

Call and talk with someone. They should be able to unlock the card. I've had to do the same when I mistyped an ean and didn't know I had. Hopefully they can help with the missing digit.

If they can't, I ordered one last week and can let you know what the first digit is. Looking at my spreadsheet of codes they are mostly the same 3 numbers and have been bought over several years. It would at least help narrow it down.

I called and they basically said they can unlock it, it will take 48 hours to unlock but they can't give me even the first digit of the EAN.

I realized worst case scenario - I can still use the card and swipe or scan it in person at the parks. So if I have to, I can empty the card and never use it again after that.



This is what the numbers looked like, I am pretty sure that first digit is a 6 - it is easier to read on the computer as it is zoomed in, but to my naked eye, it looked like little pieces of the foil that were still stuck on the card.

For what it's worth, I am pretty sure that is a 6 as well, but could be an 8, 5 or 3, so I see your issue.

FWIW, I think every gift card I have purchased in recent months (and maybe longer) has started with a 6.

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Try 6 and roll the dice!

 

[mickey916]

My recent ones have started with 6s as well.

 

[Liquidice]

I think the gift card numbers themselves all mostly start with 6, but this was the first digit of the pin code (aka EAN or security code) that was missing, and that does not necessarily start with a 6 based on looking at my other recent cards.

My EANs on e-gifts have not started with 6 but the physical cards I've received most recently have.

That's a six. Most of mine are 6 or 7 and all the owns I keep to use are from dis store.

Good news! Even though when I called they said it could take up to 48 hours to unlock the card, I tried just now to see if I could check the balance of the card and it worked. It was in fact a 6! Was able to transfer the value off of the card.

Thanks to everyone for their help!!!

Now have everything set gift card wise for my upcoming trip!

AmEx has an offer where you can get $10 off if you use ApplePay 3 times. The terms do state that it excludes gift cards, but I might roll the dice with a few low-dollar gift cards to see what happens.

 

[gottalovepluto]

Got so excited to save 20% on DGCs at smart and final today only to find no DGC's. Should checked our 1st page DPs where this was noted back in '23 Got other stuff but for some reason more fun to save on DGCs than fast food gc's lol.
