CardCash.com??? ...and a Math Check

[kristenrice]

I'm looking into buying a discounted Target gift card from CardCash.com and I am wondering if anyone has experience with them. I've read the FAQ's on their site and they seem to be 100% legit and reputable. The cards I'm looking at are physical cards and they say they are shipped out USPS First Class and/or USPS Priority mail with the orders being processed within 24 hours. I'm curious as to how long it would actually take for me to receive the cards...7 business days, maybe?

Second question...someone check my math... I have a Target RedCard set up as my default payment on the website. I put $300 worth of Disney Gift Cards in my cart and the total due is $285. Here's what I come up with...
...CardCash Target Card #1: $240.35 value (actual cost is $227.85)
...CardCash Target Card $2: $24.64 value (actual cost is $23.36)
...Target Gift Card #3: $15.00
...Target Gift Card #4: $5.00
...The remaining $0.01 goes on my RedCard

OK, so if my math is correct, I am actually paying $271.22 for $300 in gift cards...a savings of $29.78? That's not to shabby...now if I can just get myself to pull the trigger.

And another little bonus...If I use my PayPal debit card to buy the CardCash gift cards, I get another 1% rebate ($2.51)...and by linking through Sunshine Rewards, I get another 1.5% rebate on the purchase ($3.77) so that would "save" me another $6.28

I've only used the "e-cards" where they e-mail you the card number. It says it can take 24 hours or more, but I have always gotten them in an hour or so.

Nothing, but good on my end. I should use them more than I do, I just "don't think about it." enough.

I bought the target ecards and got those within a few hours. I also ordered a McCormick & Schmicks physical card form them on 02/07 and it says it has shipped by USPS. So, hopefully it will come soon.

Not sure if you know there's a code I used to order my target ecards that is good until 02/13 for an extra 4% off VALENTINES4

I have never used them, but an offer by gyft.com is getting quite a bit of favorable buzz on a "deals Web site" I frequent. $5 "free" to new customers only. Apparently more than a few folks are getting $10 gift cards and then the $5 back....

As I said, I have no experience with gyft, and I really did not read the "deal" thread all the way through, but people seem happy with the service.

Just did gyft and got the $25 Target gift card for $20.

I just ordered a $170 Target eCard from CardCash and paid $161.50. I went through Sunshine Rewards first (1.5% rebate= $2.42) and used my PayPal debit card (1% rebate= $1.62). Now, when I get it, I can combine it with my $15 and $5 Target gift cards (which were free with purchases) and buy $200 worth of Disney gift cards. My total OOP cost will be $157.46...a savings of over 20%

EDIT: Well, it figures...I received the eCard within about 10 minutes. I went to place my order and of course, the card number is invalid. I sent an email immediately to CardCash and we'll see what happens. I used PayPal to pay so I assume I have some sort of purchase protection.

...stand by...

I bought a Home Depot gift card from CardCash and never got the card. They ended up sending me an ecard, but I was wanting the real card (it was for a gift). The ecard had the value it was supposed to, so if you aren't needing a real card, I would say no problem.

Glad to hear! I read their FAQ's and such before I considered making a large purchase. I feel confident that this will get resolved and I am fortunately not in a huge hurry. Our trip isn't until the end of April and the only thing I am buying the gift cards for at this point is our food. Everything else is all paid for.

Just an update on my order. I got the McCormick & Schmicks gift card on tuesday and it has the correct balance of $50 on it!

 

[kristenrice]

I'm still waiting to hear back. I can see how a card could have the incorrect balance on it, but how are they verifying the balance if the card is invalid??

 

[kristenrice]

Well, the good news is that CardCash was pleasant to deal with. I was getting impatient on Friday so I called them. A very nice lady empathized with me and assured me that it would be resolved. She said it does typically take the claims department up to five business days to solve the problem.

I received an e-mail from them today with the bad news....the card they sold me was, indeed, invalid so they refunded my money. The full refund amount is already back in my PayPal account. I'm bummed because now the biggest gift cards they have are all under $50 so I will have to make multiple transactions. Even though they honored their guarantee in a quick and efficient manner, I am still a little skeptical. Maybe I will try it again with a smaller amount. I have until the end of April before we leave so there is time.

I saw the post about buying Target gift cards for Disney ones, and decided to try them out. My sister and I made plans to go to Logans tonight, and they had gift cards 23% off! So I bought two egiftcards and they worked wonderful!

I bought 18 Disney gift cards from CardCash with $50 amounts on all of them to pay for our Annual and Seasonal passes. One of the cards was invalid, and there was no funds on it. I contacted claims today, and I hope that they will solve the problem.

I was antsy about using them, especially for such a large purchase. But they mailed quickly, and I received the cards within two-three days! I was able to buy the passes before the prices went up

I used CardCash again today
This time, I bought (3) $25 Target gift cards for $71.50. I have $20 in Target gift cards here at home that were free with purchase. I went through Sunshine Rewards (1.5% rebate) using my PayPal debit (1%) rebate, and ordered $100 in Disney gift cards. If you include the $20 as out-of-pocket, my net cost was about $89...or a savings of about 11%

The e-cards have already arrive in my inbox and they are all valid.
