I did 12 one day across 2 different stores and they all credited fine.Is there a limit of how many can be done per day? I've got a stash of Visa's I need to get through to earn SB points. TIA!

Yes, I was able to use the coupons multiple times - both the Visa/MC and the general 3rd party coupon. I just checked, and both coupons are still active in my account. Bummer that yours is gone!

I checked out of curiosity and mine is also still there though I used it once last Friday. I'm in Colorado.How is this possible!?! I use it once and it's gone and I'm a frequent shopper! Granted I get some pretty decent "Customer Bonus" coupons on my account and in the mail but this would be the cats meow for me. What's your secret? What state do you live in? We live in Michigan. I wonder if it's by territory, hmm.
Obviously I'm jealous, most importantly extremely happy for you and anyone able to get awesome deals but yeah, this stinks for me!

Walmart stopped combining gift cards a few years ago. The employee should’ve told you that instead of having you wait.I know I've read on here about folks combining many small Walmart gift cards into one when buying Disney gift cards as Sam's Club. I think most say they do this at the customer service counter, but I'm guessing this is more useful at Sam's than Walmart. Based on my experience last night, at Walmart save yourself some trouble just grab a WM gift card and head to self checkout to buy it with your GC's.
I was trying to use my AmEx offer for $15 off a $30 SamsClub.com purchase last night but I had 5 swagbucks gift cards I've been saving up for it. Only 4 are allowed for online orders, so my plan was to hit Walmart to combine them first. I head to customer service, there's only one lady in line in front of me and she has an easy return so I'm up quick. I ask the CSR if she can combine my 5 gift cards into one and she's not sure. She calls for the manager, but instead of just asking over the walkie or asking the manager to call, she just says she needs assistance. Well the manager is cleaning up a spill so it'll be a few minutes. After waiting close to 10 minutes the manager arrives and I ask her the same question. She responds "there's no way to combine them, they're all different numbers"
I don't really find much use for the term dumbfounded anymore and yet that's exactly what I was for a few seconds. Just really did not know how to respond to that. Then I ask "well can you just use these to pay for a new gift card?" and she said "we're really not supposed to do that"
so basically that means it works they just won't do it, gotcha.
So I take my leave and my plan was to hit another WM to avoid issues and just go through self checkout but I forgot I wasn't heading in that direction. After my other errand, about 20 minutes later I went back in, found a gift card, self checkout was practically empty, entered $110 then scanned all 5 gift cards to pay for it easy peasy. Took like 2 minutes, I'm pretty sure it was longer getting in and out of the parking lot.
Something else I learned last night is you have to select how much money from each form of payment on SamsClub.com; it doesn't automatically take all the money off the gift card. I knew it would do it for multiple CC's just didn't realize it did it for GC's too. That's a nice feature, if I had known that I would have put all my little gift cards on the same one. But all said and done I bought the $150 Disney GC pack for free I had $110 in swagbucks money, I'll have $15 statement credit on my AmEx, and $20 from Bing rewards cashed out to PayPal will cover the $17.98. (I already miss that option )

I converted 5 $5 Shopkick Walmart gift cards and 2 discounted $25 gift cards yesterday to buy a $50 and $25 Disney gift card. I’ve had the Swagbucks gift cards for a few months. I bought a Thank you card for someone that ended up being $3 which is 3x as much as I wanted to pay for it. You would think I had like a 100 other items with a 100 coupons. The cashier, manager, and the people behind me were so rude. I was about to tell her to take the card off but I was just ready to leave. Walmart employees are the worse. Why I don’t shop at Walmart anymore. I don’t know what I was thinking cashing out at Walmart vs Target.
I had the same feelings about Walmart as you, until we moved to the town we are in now two years ago. We have a very clean store, they keep stuff stocked and the workers are all very nice! I was shocked! I refuse to step foot in any other Walmart's though.
I've been doing 8 at a time. I go in with a fam member and we each do 4 separate transactions and I double check all bar codes when we go in to make sure I didn't duplicate any by accident. This also results in 4 charges on 2 different credit cards, I haven't had any issues so far but I was worried about triggering fraud alerts if I put 8 $50 transactions on after the other on one credit card.Is there a limit of how many can be done per day? I've got a stash of Visa's I need to get through to earn SB points. TIA!
Thanks for this! I read your post via cell and started printed them out last night. Hopefully BB has them in stock!
My Walmart still combines gift cards at the customer service desk for me, with no attitude or issues.
