Went to my BJs last week, and found a very different and upsetting situation. I was trying to buy 2 $100 cards for DS Senior Trip next week, always buy the $100 as best % off as mentioned. However, they only had $150(for $146.99), some $50(no price tag), and a ton of $25-500/pick your amount - I figured this means no discount, so checked with cashier, and she said that whatever amount you put on you would pay, confirming this. She also said they would probably be getting more $100 in, but I am pretty sure that is not correct. I had my parents check their BJs today, and only had the pick your amount. I will call a few other stores nearby to see if they have any left, but really bummed if this is the way it is going to be - BJs will lose a lot of sales of these - why would I buy there if no discount? But I am guessing it may be Disney changing the policy.
Really wish I had bought these last month - got one at our ShopRite w/$10 off grocery offer, but figured I'd get the others there, and just put it off. Could have ordered online last week, but was afraid they wouldn't come in time.
Don't know if others have already posted about this, but thought I'd give an FYI .
I wouldn't expect BJ's to just stop stocking them, they'll probably return at some point but maybe not in time for the trip. I thought my stores decided to get rid of the 3pks because they were gone for months, like no pegs for them or anything, but they came back in time for summer. And yes, the variable load ones (of anything) are the only ones without a discount. I had CS price check the $500 one because they didn't have a tag on it (still 484.99) and he was telling me they all have a discount except for any variable load ones - which makes sense but not sure why I'm buying them then?
If you have access to Target they have Disney eGiftCards, so you can keep trying and do the Target 5% as a last resort.
