Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

[PrincessJasmine92]

BJ’s has an offer on their $500 Disney GC’s.
View attachment 876641
I do not see an expiration date listed.

I see RMN has 5% cash back at BJs and I’m not seeing any exclusions. Has this worked for anyone here?

A cautionary tale for those of us collecting gift cards here. I've been collecting Home Depot gift cards for several months to save for a larger purchase and just went to use them this weekend. Of the several hundred gc I had, one e-gift card purchased from Staples from a few months back came up with a $0 balance. I've been getting the runaround from Staples and their gift card team all weekend and this morning. (Tried this morning thinking maybe the weekday team would be better than the weekend team, but no.) Probably chalk this one up as a loss, but I'll stop collecting the gift cards that I can't move over (like DGC) or store in my account (like Amazon). The $25 lost is easily most of the savings I would have gained on a $300 purchase.

I got to this place as well, especially when you consider how time consuming it gets to collect them.

Did you verify your Home Depot gc after purchase?

For those planning to make a large purchase, there is a workaround to save your money while combining HD gc into one:

• eStore Credit vs Merchandise Credit:
  • In-store 6/14/22 Post #13367
  • Online 6/06/24 Post #25442 @bbsearchlight

I currently have a 5 percent tracking for an August pay out.

Thank you!!

Couple of questions on the Viator 15% off code. reading the terms, if I bought during the Target deal last summer, can I not use this code? Appears to be for first time customers.
Is there a max cash back from Rakuten on this deal? I can't find anything on the Rakuten site.

The target deal last summer was for TripAdvisor I think, not Viator?

It is for new customers though, it uses email address to track whether you're a new customer, so if you had someone else in your household that has not yet used Viator you could use their email address or any email address that hasn't been used before with Viator.

Rakuten does not have a max cashback but I would not use Rakuten personally as they specifically forbid the use of coupon codes with cashback and they also specifically say cashback is not applicable on theme park purchases.

RMN does not have any of these restrictions but their max cashback is $50 per transaction.

Thank you. You are right, I found my confirm, it was TripAdvisor. I was thinking Viator for some reason.
Trying to figure out the best bang for my buck. May need to sign the spouse up for RMN so I can do both MVMCP and JN with Viator.

$100 Landry's gift card is $75 at Costco

I may have to call them. I had not heard of this until about a year ago when I started reading this thread. I made sure I was signed up for email communication and the only thing I got was a ten dollar offer to set my Discover It as my primary Amazon card. I get the quarterly cash back of course but nothing extra. Thank you.

I fixed it and I'm getting offers now! I had to go on the website to check all the notifications, there are more there than in the app. I just got the 6% cash back at restaurants until Sept. So thankful for this board because I never would have known.

So you just update email preferences?

I just ran into the same challenge this evening with my Macy's score from earlier this month. Should have opened the card as soon as I got home, but life has just been busy and hadn't had time to place my order yet. Opened 2 cards tonight and the $100 one had the pin scratched off and was missing about $8. Honestly if I can get Macy's to reissue even for the balance shown I'll be okay, but it's the extra effort right now that's annoying.

Did anyone try to get the Amazon $10 promo for the Chipotle card? I can't figure out where to add the promo code CHIPOTLE, it's not in the same spot as other cards.

Yes on the website it has more options than the app under manage alerts. There is literally one titled "card member offers and news". I checked that and within a few days I got my first offer.

Thanks! I’m going to double check this. I’ve gotten offers many years ago but none within the last few years.

Just noticed that Amazon Prime has 20% off Viator....but it's not tracking for me for DL tickets. Has this worked for anyone? Thanks!

I found it. Was hard but it’s under Disneyland Resort Tickets. I’ve never used Viator. Do the tickets have a specific date for DL?
