I appreciate all the replies about Walgreens GCs! Looks like I'll just stick with the paltry 5% Target RC discount or GCs that are slightly higher in %. Why they gotta make it so hard to save?!
I got an email from PayPal this morning 15% iTunes cards. I bought one and already link it to my account. It is perfect to pay for cloud storage.
I'd add that iTunes credit is not just good for iCloud storage, but for iTunes Store downloads of music, movies and tv shows; Apple App Store purchases; and subscriptions through your iTunes account like Netflix (and I believe Hulu). When Netflix finally got around to raising the price of our grandfathered plan last month, I canceled my subscription through Netflix and restored it as an in-app purchase through Netflix on iTunes. So now my monthly Netflix subscription is debited from my iTunes credit that I always buy at a discount.
A 15% discount on iTunes gift cards is pretty standard and these deals seem to pop up at least once or twice a month. I know Costco frequently sells a $100 pack of iTunes cards for $85. This PP deal lets you in on a discount for lower denominations ($25). 20% off happens often enough, and I see 25% off usually during Black Friday and the holidays. (You can follow http://twitter.com/itunescarddeals, who posts current iTunes deals.)
One more thing -- If you plan to buy iTunes music, movies or tv episodes or Apps, go through Ebates for 7% cash back! I don't think it works on subscriptions,
Is there a kind soul who can remind me how to convert a Target e gift card so that it can be used in store? Many thanks!
Just saw this on Slickdeals. I just bought a $25 Target egift card through the SYWR portal. The card was only 3% off, but I'll use that $10 in SYWR points to buy some more work pants for my husband since he needs those.

Or Zulily has this deal up again.

I would just print it out and carry it with me. I recently took a Target ecard I got from m+ with several physical cards I got for specials at Target, and got them combined at the Target service desk. Then, armed with only one gift card, I bought my Disney gift card.Is there a kind soul who can remind me how to convert a Target e gift card so that it can be used in store? Many thanks!
So sad about this. Kind of wish I'd hopped on board the churning train sooner. I spent 6 months on the fence not sure if I wanted to risk it. Oh well. Still though, I'm really happy with the $ I've made since March. My Jan/Feb trip is almost paid for. First time staying at the Poly (except as a kid back in the 70's!) and except for this churn, we'd have been at a moderate. Thank you everyone on this thread! You're the best!
Cashier refunded purchase onto physical kmart gc and we tried again. I had an eBay card just in case, but we tried Disney again. He thought the failure was due to it not being a physical gc. Maybe he was right bc with my refunded $ on the physical gc the gc2gc loaded properly.
I bought gamestop too and will try that next week. Fingers crossed because it's much closer than Kmart! At least there's kmart. Thanks for the encouragement and info to try!
Do you all think an unloaded gc (say ebay or Disney) would work at another store, so long as they typically carry that gc but are out? Just curious ...
So, I think I'm figuring this out, even if it seems like a bit late in the game. Today I went through a portal to Raise and used their 4% extra on top of the typical kmart discount, plus a $5 credit that they offered me to buy a $25 gc for $17 - portal % - cc %. I have never gc2gc, so I wanted to start small. At the store I kept walking in circles looking for the gc. Finally someone asked to help me and they did. Went to pay with my egc/voucher, which was on my phone, and the card load failed. A manager override of some sort was needed, but thankfully it was the person who helped me find the gcs earlier, so we made a joke and he authorized override.

Since I bought the Disney one, I was able to load it onto my account before leaving the register and confirmed the funds. Passed cashier the receipts and used Disney and kmart gcs (after snapping pics), and went on my way with my first gc2gc done minor bumps, but success.

Congrats on your trip! I can't help but ask: did you rent points?
It absolutely was because it wasn't a physical gift card.
DISMeri posts that when she gets e-GCs, she'll pop in to a Sears store and have them convert to physical GC so she can go use them at Kmart.
You're brave! Let us know how Gamestop goes, too.
Probably not. While you could take one GC from one Kmart and would likely get it to scan at another Kmart, taking one from Target probably wouldn't work at Best Buy. I'm not positive they have different SKUs, but I can definitely tell other differences between cards purchased at different vendors.
We didn't rent points, but we're getting a pretty good deal through a travel agent.
For those purchasing Disney gift cards at target, if you don't need them right now, I would suggest waiting until November/December. Both of the last 2 years Target ran a promotion selling their gift cards at 10% off. Two years ago it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and last year it was the Sunday before Christmas. You purchase that with the citi double cash and you get a 12% savings which you can then use to purchase your Disney gift cards.
And then you get another 5% with rc? So 17% in this scenario? How are you informed of this sale? Thanks for sharing!
