Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

[Cruising Engineer]

I don't believe Target's hacks have previously leaked SSN data, maybe they have and I just didn't realize it. I've had the Target Red Credit Card for awhile and lived through the previous hacks but haven't had any issues (*knock on wood*) ... My SSN and other information have been hacked countless times though as a result of other leaks, I personally freeze access to all of my credit history.

Thank you, I'll check on how to freeze my accounts once I get the Red Card.

Another data point for the current Target offers (mine is $35 after 4 $100 purchases). I just ordered a $100 eGC (and nothing else), and the order tracked as one of my 4 orders.

Same here. Mine's $20 off 2x$100 purchases, I ordered $100 Disney eGC and nothing else, and the order tracked as one of my 2.

ETA: Both GC orders tracked and completed the offer. However it hadn't occurred to me for some reason that the $20 bonus couldn't be used to buy a third eGC, so I feel a bit silly now. Oh well - not like we don't need/get things from Target often enough to count that as a win!

A couple shopDisney observations:

TopCashback is at 12% and Rakuten is at 10%. Not sure they’d track for GCs (never personally been successful with TCB), but that’s pretty good for regular purchases.

The site itself is 25% off “sitewide”. 50th merchandise (and certain expected premium items like bags) are excluded, but it looks to apply to a lot. Not a GC deal, but may be a good use for the GCs you previously got a deal on.

Additional considerations: 5X cashback with Chase Freedom/Freedom Flex if you pay with PayPal. Also, Chase seems to regularly adding offers for 10% off shopDisney up to $5.

I did two GC only purchases from ShopDisney yesterday through Rakuten, when Rakuten was at 8% cashback for ShopDisney. The purchases didn’t track right away, but I did the online “missing cash back,” and they added the cash back to my account. I guess they might still claw it back, but it is there for now.

A couple of weeks ago I went through Rakuten for 8%. I made one access through Rakuten, then I made two separate purchases for $50 gift cards with two separate Chase credit cards. One purchase tracked and will payout next week. The other did not track. I don't know which purchase was the successful one.

When I did two purchases yesterday, I went back to the Rakuten Home Screen and started all over again for the second purchase. Not sure if that made a difference or not.

RMN is at 10% Cashback for online purchases (up to $50 cashback or a $500 purchase) for SamsClub today. I've been using Rakuten for 1% cashback and it tracks everyday, but will try RMN today with my Cash App Boost purchase and see. Would be amazing to get 4% + 10% + 10% would be a little over 22% off the face value of the Disney Gift card!

Thanks for the heads up. I went thru RMN and got about $400 in DGC and a few groceries. Will update if it tracks. It did last month for me but took a couple of days.

For anyone who wants to open up a Sam's Club membership for the Black Friday deal, this may be helpful:

1. My American Express EveryDay Preferred card is currently offering a $25 statement credit for spending $45 on a Sam's Club membership (just need to click "Activate Offer.")
2. Sam's Club is running an offer where if you buy their $45 club-level membership, they'll give you a $45 gift card (deal is easily found by doing a Google search).
3. Sam's Club's Black Friday offer is 10% off of $500 gift cards (limit of 2 per person).
4. Bank of America Cash Rewards offers 2% back on Wholesale retailers (not as good as Chase Sapphire, etc.).

Total savings: $125 or 14.3% savings and no cost for the Sam's Club Membership!

Thanks for this! I'm about to do #1 and #2 and stack with Rakuten (20% on new memberships) now. Do you happen to know if I can use the Sam's $45 gift card on future purchases of other gift cards?

No, you cannot use a gift card to buy gift cards. But you can use it at Walmart instead of Sams if that would give you more value.

I purchased $200 of Sam's gift cards (to use at Walmart) and went through RMN using the cash app. The 10% immediately came off so they only charged me $180. I doubt that RMN will pay out for a Sam's Club gift card but we shall see.

I also did sign up for the Sam's club membership using the $25 Amex offer and the $45 sam's gift club offer and using a portal. So far I have not had the $25 posted to my amex account (it has been 4 days) but all the offers form the last week and a half have not posted yet so it could just be Amex being slow.

Also, many other people who did this deal reported they never got the $45 gift card from Sam's Club and had to call to fight to get it, so just keep track of that in case you don't get it. Also, other people reported it comes in an email from Walmart, not Sam's Club and takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Waiting on my $45 as well :|

I had to go into the store and ask at the customer service desk. They loaded it onto my account somehow - I never had a physical GC.

I can confirm my Sam’s Club GC came from Walmart’s bulk gift card site. The e-mail looked suspect and was from a third party company (which Walmart uses for bulk gift card sales). To obtain the code, I had to enter my email address, but the gift card was valid and I didn’t have to put in any identifying info other than email (still not a good idea if you aren’t sure, but nothing more “useful” for fraud).

Shopdisney is 12% cb today on TCB and DISNEYPAL has 25% off some 50th stuff.

When again can I purchase a $500 GC and save $50 at Sam's Wholesale?

So I bought 3 Amazon $25 gift cards at BBB when chase had their flash sale of 15% back at BBB. The BBB system was running very slow but after around 3 or 4 minutes the order went through and it printed my receipt and activation receipts for the 3 gift cards. Although on the main receipt, next to the gift cards it says PENDING and on the bottom of the receipt it says "card will be active within 24 hours". Well, I went to use the cards around a week later and 2 of the cards worked fine but the 3rd one says invalid. I called amazon and their gift card team which only responds by email first asked me to send them a picture of the back of the card, then a copy of the receipt, then a copy of the front of the card, and then they wrote back they are not sure from my email what i need help with. I wrote back to them again but have not heard back yet. Has anyone ever encountered such an issue before?

I'm back, sort of...

First I want to give a big shout out to @happiestpoe for posting deals everyday, it's a lot of work and I'm sure many of you were able to take advantage. Another shout out to @iujen94 for being our Dosh ambassador and for posting some great deals! And I want to thank all of you for adding, aiding and supporting our community. We really are blessed!

Unfortunately my hands are a bit too busy to post deals today.
Our AC unit slowly broke down this summer and leaked water into the the furnace panel and filter, which caused major damage to the furnace and blew out the pilot light. We don't know how long the pilot light was out but we were definitely breathing in those fumes. Since being back, we've been packing and cleaning out the basement. My husband rented an outdoor storage unit to make room for the new duct work which will be installed on Monday along with the new furnace and AC unit.

Again THANK YOU all so much for the support you've given!
