Sam’s Club Limit On Disney GC

[nearlyfallinstar]

I’m planning on buying discounted Disney gift cards through Sam’s Club. Their best deal has a 5 card limit per order. I’ll need to purchase six orders. Does anyone know how frequently I can place orders? One per day? Per week? TIA!

Sounds like a question to ask Sam's Club.

Maybe. But I avoid customer service reps whenever possible!

I would just think that an actual Sam's Club person could give you a better answer than some one else.

I doubt that "they told me on DISboards ......" would go over.

I’ve been buying gift cards through Sam’s. I’ve ordered them a couple weeks apart, but I think one order is limited to 5 and you could complete an order and then order more right away. They just won’t put more than 5 on one order.

I know every store has their own rules, but at Costco I've been able to purchase items that had a limit in back-to-back, but separate, transactions. You could always complete one order and then do a 2nd and see if it goes through and then go from there.

In store, BJs has a $500 per day limit, so I guess someone will have to ask Sam's since the other two warehouse clubs do it differently.

Just do multiple orders. The limit is per order. The $500 cards are one per order, so I usually just stand at self checkout and buy, pay, repeat until I have the total I need. The only reason I have a Sam's card is for the discounted Disney gift cards. I was sad to see they recently went up on price for their $500 cards (2nd price increase within the last 2 yrs).

What are the prices of the sams club Disney gift cards? I'm wondering if it is worth the cost of membership for the savings to pay off my cruise.

I was getting them from bjs, but they don't seem to have them anymore.

2 years ago when I started, a $500 card was $475. Then last summer they went to $479.98. Now they are selling them at $484.98. I'm not sure about the $150 packs. I do not buy the $150 packs because they are 3 $50 cards and that's a lot of computer typing to enter all of them. Sam's membership is on $45 a year so do the math and see if it's worth it for you. I will say for us, it's definitely worth it (family of 6 = 2 cabins). We usually save $250 to $350 per cruise, not counting applying cards to our onboard room credit and future cruise booking.

You can pay more than $45 a year and get a Sam's card that pays you cash back on qualified purchases. I do not use that upgraded membership because I only use my membership for Disney gift cards and gift cards are not qualified purchases under their cash back policy.

I did the math on the Sam's Club GCs last night in in an unrelated inquiry.

The $150s priced at $142.98 works out to a discount of about 4.6%

The $500 priced at $484.98 works out to a discount of about 3%

It's well worth it, we saved an insane amount of money on our vacation last year. You are limited per transaction, I have been able to place an order and then after that, placed another order within a few hours. We buy them year round in person and online, since we go every year.

We purchased $3500 worth of the 500 dollar gift cards in one transaction in store at Sam's Club. I didn't even think to ask at the time what the limit was per transaction, but it must have been over that. Our cashier talked us in to upgrading to a plus membership, and said we would earn rewards on the gift card purchase. That was not the case, as a previous poster mentioned.

In store there is no limit on how many you can purchase. Online there is a limit. I just purchase them in separate transactions and that works fine. I also just recently used the virtual (email) card, instead of getting the actual card in the mail. It worked perfectly. I love that I don't have to worry about it being delivered on my front door while I am at work.

So....buying GCs from Target (with your Red Card) and getting 5% off is a better deal......

Those percentages are just the discount off the price. If you have a cash back or points card that gives you more money/value back on top of that, it may work out more in your favor to do Sam's rather than Target.

Also, I do not see the $500 gift card as an option on the Target site, only $50 and $100. So if your paying for a $7k-$10k cruise with a ton of $50 or $100 gift cards, that's a whole lot of scratching, typing and data entry. $500 card from Sam's is a whole lot easier to enter in.

I've also found this to be true. No limits if buying in the store, but online I am limited and have to do separate transactions.

BJs has them back in stock (no membership required)
$95.99 for $100 card
$484.99 for $500 card

Other denominations available, as well.
