Disney Gift Card Deals

[Lain]

Verizon has Office Depot too, anyone know if they have Disney and can pay with a gift card?

Can't do GC->GC at OD/OM either.

does the discover 5% cash back apply to giftcards?

It doesn't even show out of stock! The item wont even come up. i searched disney gift card and it just says unavailable.

It has applied for GC purchases on bjs.com for both me and my DH.

 

[nat8199]

Once my GC come it whats the best way to apply them to my bill? I have a package due Aug 11 and need to pay the remaining $1600 with 16 $100 gift cards

I combine in my Disney Vacation Account, I think your due date is too soon for you to earn the bonus for spending, though.

My BJs orders from the 3 $50 for the extra discount arrived today... So many gift cards my fingernail is sore from peeling that security code thing off the back! But it will all be worth it! (Is what I keep telling myself anyway!)

If you're an eBay member check your inboxes folks. I just got a targeted coupon for $15 off of $75 and it worked on PPDG Best Buy gift cards. I had to add one $50 and one $25 to my cart but the coupon worked so I got $75 for $60

I was so excited when I read this, but darn it, nothing for me or DD26. Like @Lain said, they are probably still not too happy with all the ebucks I made, lol. Ugh. We did get a 10x ebucks thing today, but I don't need anything, lol.
Wonder if they always send them all out at once or if they stagger them and I should keep checking our ebay messages, lol, just in case!

I just had to smile at this. I've been working through $3500 worth of $50 gift cards and those security codes are a pain! I use a coin to scratch it off though. It kind of makes me feel like I'm scratching off a lottery ticket and when I upload the numbers into DVA, I get to see that I'm a winner every time!

If you use another gift card, you can push the whole thing off like your peeling a sticker, instead of a crumbly mess like the lotto scratch-offs. Saves time and your fingers.

Ha - I know the feeling. I get some weird kind of endorphin release every I enter a card into my DVA!

I asked this on another random thread but asking the experts here again.... why is it better to put the gc's into my acct- rather than just hang onto them till I need them? I checked the balances when I got them (bj's) and they were all correct-

I've done plenty of scratching, and I know there's more to come, but I'm glad I don't have to do my BJs order lol. We picked up 6 packs because we're going to give everyone a gift card as a wedding favor. Bjs sale plus Discover cash back was a much better deal than 5% at Target like I was expecting for them.

*mind blown*

This is totally how I felt when I read @Dan C 's advice awhile back on this thread. Game changer!

If you put them in a DVA you earn an additional 2% back directly from Disney. We did a lot of trips and a cruise last year and got back 180 just for using the DVA. If I wasn't using it that would have been missed money

This is true but you could load those GC into the DVA right before making your payment and still get the $20 GC for every $1K spent (it's NOT 2% unless you spent in multiples of $1K).

Given the IT problems that the DVA and other Disney websites are prone to, I would be reluctant to park my funds there for any length of time.

@hsmamato2 - I wouldn't keep the cards listed in my disneygiftcard .com account for the same reasons. Online accounts can be hacked. I keep my GCs in a safe place and I also keep a digital record of their numbers and PINs. If my GCs should get lost or stolen, I have the option to transfer their funds to another GC using the GC website because I have the necessary info to do so.

 

[hsmamato2]

sorry I didn't mean DVA I meant the regular website where you consolidate cards....

Just to clarify for people not familiar with DVA, you need have your account open for 6 months prior to you taking anything out of it. However, you can open your account with $50, wait 6 months, add $1,950, then spend it all a day or two later and qualify.

EDITED TO ADD: Actually, it's 120 days, not 6 months. Thanks @LongLiveRafiki

The sole purpose is to consolidate smaller GC into one lump sum then delete it from the site all together. The lump sum GC is easier to manage.

It's not 6 months, it is 120 days.

 

[Marionnette]

Yes. They changed the wait period at some point. However, there's nothing to indicate that the bonus GC offer is being extended beyond Dec. 31, 2017 as of today.

 

[pillow]

Speaking of the DVA, I got an email this morning thanking me for requesting my $20 bonus. Huh? I didn't request a bonus, nor should I get one at this point since I haven't hit another 1K threshold. Odd.

 

[MommyinHonduras]

I did not know you just need to start with $50. Trying to create one now. How do I pay with a GC?
