Costco Disney Gift Cards

[tom1944]

I did earlier this week.

I could not get my Visa gift cards to work.

I used the Disney cards with no problem.

They even state they will take partial payments. Click on dues, pay by contract, click pay by other amount, enter that amount, and then enter card information. I did two visa cards with no issues

Thanks

I think I know where I made my error

Try using your visa gift cards to buy Disney gift cards and earn some fuel perks while you are at it. Then use the Disney gift cards to pay the dues while enjoying a free or at least discounted tank of gas.

That will have to be next year. I got all my Visa cards to pay my dues. I still have a balance because I did not realize some of my gift cards were for Amazon and not Visa cards.

Well, I’m happy to have learned that Visa GCs will work as well as Disney GCs!

I did an original 4 about 2 weeks ago ad another 2 on Sunday.

I was able to order 4 per day for 4 days 12/16-19. I got busy with other stuff and forgot to order any on 12/20. Starting 12/21, all of my new orders have been canceled.

 

[Stldisney]

I made several orders each day leading up to and including 12/19. Since then I’ve tried 3 different days and all have been canceled.

I think someone at Disney or Costco looked at the amount of money they were selling in discounted gift cards and it was over the limit they expected based on a 2 per membership order….

My brother tried to buy 2 on Christmas Day (none purchase previously) and it cancelled the order….

Note to future self…. Look at how much you spent of gift cards and pay off those credit cards FIRST before you start peaking at DVC search engines!

I was able to get two sets of gift cards from costco.com like 10 days ago and apply them to my dues as well.

Question about the interaction of these gift cards and auto pay:

Lets assume I have $1200 in dues. So my monthly autopay is $100/month.
I then apply $600 in gift card to the dues.
It seems like my autopay is still $100/mo and not reduced to $50/mo. Correct?
Anyway to change it?

Yes, your monthly auto pay is still $100/month, and there's no way to change it. However, if you've paid half your dues, the dues page in your member website should say something like your next payment of $100 will be taken on July 15. Basically, the system applies your GC or other payments to each monthly payment, one after another, and doesn't schedule an auto pay until all that money is used up.

I finally get the scratch to buy a couple of gift cards and I get the dwarves every time I try to enter a new card. Sigh.

 

[LadybugsMum]

I'm also getting "Bad Gateway" when trying to access the ecard. Blergh.

ahhh. you are correct...
i was afraid it would be $100/mo for the first 6 months, but it's $100/mo for the last 6 months.
Im cool w that!

In the meantime, you can watch for other discounts on Disney GCs and keep paying down the balance. And/or get a Target Red Card and buy a $100 GC for $95 each month starting in July before the 15th and apply it to the balance.

So for those who are curious if the " 2 Per Membership" ever resets over time, you may want to give it another whirl in the new year. I was in for a pleasant surprise and an order for 2 cards I placed today went through (although the second one was promptly canceled)
