I love credit cards so much! v4.0 - 2021 (see first page for add'l details)

[*WDW*Groupie*]

I know you guys are probably all aware - but for anyone like me - who somehow missed this news......Disneygiftcard.com is being upgraded on Feb 3 and all existing gift card balances will NOT transfer to the new system.

Additionally - they are moving Disneygiftcard.com to the shared user login that can access multiple Disney platforms. Not happy with that for my gift card balances so prob will only use DisneyGift card.com for consolidation from now on...and then delete the cards from the site. Maybe I should have been doing that anyway.

I had not heard this -- thank you for letting us know. What are we supposed to do with the balances that we have on the GCs on the site?

I think they did that last year too

If you have a physical card (ANY physical card), you can add your GCs on the site to that card (up to $1000). Worst case scenario, if you didn’t have any physical cards, you could get a $25 card at the grocery store and use that.

Edited to add: you could also consolidate to a non-physical card, like an e-gift card, as long as you have the card number and access code.

Maybe you are thinking of something else? The Disney gc site has been pretty much the same for as long as I’ve been using it, which has been about the last 6 or so years. This will be totally different. I keep forgetting to go in and delete all my cards, so thanks for the reminder, @GZanta77

After searching the Amex app and Amex online to find the streaming credit, I finally called and they said it ended last year.
Any other cards would work for SirusXM?
I have the 3 Chase Ink cards & CSP (plus basic cards)
DW has CSR, Delta Amex, Discover, etc.

I do have a Sirius offer on one of my Amex cards. Otherwise, CF has streaming this quarter, but I see you don't have that.
You might be able to buy a gift card at a grocery store and get a multiplier that way.

I guess make sure you have all the necessary details to enter them on upgraded site if you choose to do so.

Q&A here... upgrade details

Doing a search of the board - I see that there was an announcement of this change back in November - but somehow I missed it. Anyway - upgrade should have happened last week, but has been pushed back to Feb 3.

Using the BBP $25 back on $500 purchase has been easier than I thought it would be. Have already used it 3 times with more already on the agenda.

Yes, wife says her Amex Delta has streaming credit thru Feb this year.
We both have CFs (just didn’t list all the basic cards). That plus grocery/home improvement stores, if there is such a thing as SiriusXM GCs, would work.
My Uber card has $50 streaming credit, but since they eliminated the 5% restaurant rewards, I don’t meet the $5k spend necessary.
Thank you!

I removed my cards that had a balance I see a couple with $0 left there....I assume that means I"m set to use the new site soon?

Thanks for the heads up on this one. We have more $$$ stuck in DGCs than I would like thanks to our canceled summer 2020 trip. If this was discussed before I must have missed it.

BIG congratulations!!!!

Thank you! I'm so happy for her It is currently her first choice (after we talked her out of applying ED to Virginia Tech). And it was her biggest reach. We'll have to see how aid looks but my ex and I will make it work one way or another.

I have never stored my cards on Disney gift cards, I always consolidate and delete. My account has been hacked in the past, and they would have been gone. Other people on the boards have had them stolen also.

Thanks for sharing this, I didn’t know that, I usually buy and wait to consolidate closer to our trip but still leave them on my account. I’ll start deleting

 

[georgina]

I've always kept my GC on the disney site along with one with a $0 balance, in case I ever lost one at DW then I could immediately transfer the balance off it. I carry one a DW and use it for all purchases.

My DH applied for the Barclay AA Biz card a couple weeks back and got this same message, I was just going to forget about it because he won’t call. About 10 days or so after they called my phone as that is the number we listed on the app, he was at work so I said he wasn’t available, they gave a number to call back, again was just going to let it go. The next day we got an approval email. The cards (his and my employee) arrived on Thursday, the credit limit is only $650 but the MSR is $1000 so I’m ok with that. Used card for a couple purchases already and all is fine. I was concerned they may want some business verification documents as I have read about that with Barclay even after approval. Not sure your experience will be the same but that’s what happened for us.
