Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

So you purchased DGC at ShopDisney, which type physical or egift? Did you use a CC offer, cashback website?

Correct... physical cards, using the Capital One "offer" link on my Venture X. One of the cards worked just fine and the other did not.

Oh Yes I did! I added the offer below to Post #1 Disney Gift Card Deals Only - because it works as @bbsearchlight has been saying for long time. Note, it is not for One Step Andy's.

I don't recall anyone posting they had to wait - for anything from ShopDisney. I'm wondering if you spoke to a newbie. Might want to call again? During regular business hours too.

I was able to purchase a $25 DGC from shopDisney and split payment between a Visa GC with $19.75 on it and my Disney rewards redemption card. I think I saw a discussion about this a while back, so I wanted to share my experience.

What (if any) benefit is there to using a Disney Rewards Redemption Card to purchase a DGC from shopDisney? I saw it mentioned a few times, but couldn't figure out if this was just for ease of the card user or if there was an actual benefit to doing so. I currently have a little over $250 on a Disney Rewards Redemption Card and was planning to just leave it there until I'm next at Disney. Should I convert it to a gift card?

I do it because I like to consolidate everything into a single GC, plus I can get up to 10% back from a cashback site like RMN.

YES! And use a cashback website like Retailmenot to earn 10% cashback.

The $250 you're planning on spending outright could make you $25 bucks!

Makes total sense! Thank you!

Of course! I can't believe I didn't make that connection!

To be fair, it was and I did actually read it. However, my takeaway was that a Redemption Card could be used to purchase a DGC, which seems obvious, but is worth stating because other gift cards or virtual CCs can't always be used to purchase DGCs. (Granted, I know a Redemption Card is neither of those things, but I treat it like a DGC already since it can be used anywhere a DGC can be used, but with fewer benefits since a Redemption Card will at least get me 10% off at some places on Disney property.)

I was wondering what financial benefit there was to converting a Redemption Card to DGC, since I would be losing the potential 10% off on Disney property. I understand now that the financial benefit comes from using a cashback website (the second part of the tip on Post #5) to purchase the DGC. But, that was not intuitive to me. Maybe it should have been, and maybe it will be once I get more practice at using these tips and tricks especially since I see the statement about checking cashback websites on almost every single post. But I literally needed someone pointing out to me that I would still have $250 in Disney $$ but will also have an extra $25 cash in my pocket. And that, unless I am just trying to consolidate gift cards/redemption cards for ease of use, using a cashback website is the only benefit to converting redemption $$ into DGCs.

There are benefits of using credit cards vs a Disney Visa Redemption card. I'm probably going to run out of time...
If you use your credit card you'll earn more rewards plus save 10%.
I honestly don't know if/where you can save 10% while using a redemption card, I haven't used one in years. I'd rather churn that money and make a 10% profit. I have to run and I'm sorry hopefully others will chime in.

Where can you use a Disney Visa redemption card and get 10% off?

The same RMN click through that will pay you 10% later works with credit card or redemption card. So, you redeem the money you were going to spend anyway into a gift card and RMN gives you 10% back a few weeks later.

Oh, absolutely there are benefits to using credit cards over a Disney Visa Redemption Card. But I was specifically asking why I would use my Disney Visa Redemption Card to purchase a Disney Gift Card, as there is no additional benefit to a Disney Gift Card over a Redemption Card, and in fact, there is one less benefit since a Disney Visa Redemption Card will get you 10% off on certain things on Disney property and a gift card won't. Which is why I usually hold my Redemption Card and wait until I'm on property to use it. Speaking of, any of the restaurants on property which give you 10% off for using a Disney Visa card to pay (there are quite a few) will also give you 10% off if you pay with a Redemption Card. I think the merchandise locations on property that give 10% off if you use your Disney Visa will also give the 10% for the Redemption Card. That one I'm not sure of though. Because I always save my Redemption Card and use it to pay for our table service meals.

Like I said previously though, I was just trying to figure out what benefit there was to using a Redemption Card to buy a DGC, which I had seen several people mention doing. I now understand though, that the benefit is in using a cashback website like RMN because you'll turn your Redemption Card into a DGC plus have cash in your pocket. Granted, if you were planning to use your Redemption Card somewhere on property that would give you a 10% discount, then you really didn't accomplish much. But I guess I'd rather have that 10% as cash in my pocket from using RMN, than as a future discount on property.

Anyplace that gives you the 10% off for using a Disney Visa will give you 10% using the Disney Visa Reward Redemption Card. You just have to ask for it if they don't offer it (same as with using the visa itself). I leave my Redemption Card intact for that reason. We usually use it to buy a high dollar souvenir we normally wouldn't splurge for and get 10% off (has to be at least $50 in merch to get 10% off). I know I could "work" it a little with cashback sites to maybe get 12% or so instead, but since those don't always pay out, I stick with the guaranteed 10% off when I'm there.

 

[FoxC63]

So sorry I had to dash out.

Well thanks friends for responding. I think I'll stick with redeeming the redemption card for cash & DGC and paying any expense with a cc to earn rewards plus get my discount.

So happy to see this. I wasn't sure you could use Visa redemption cards for gift cards. Need to use my points before closing one of the cards. Thanks!
