NEW Disney Gift Card Deals and More

Got my first batch of DGC from GC in the mail. 5x $500 cards and I'm immediately putting them against our 2025 dues. That was easy and great for 10% off!

And hat-tip to whoever recommended the CapOne extension trick. I added the extension yesterday and visited GC site without buying anything. Today I got the 10% enticement offer in my email. Went back in, Activated it in the extension, and ordered one last large batch of 10%-off cards with a 10% CapOne discount on top of it. Have mercy. I think I could hear my card crying every so faintly. Thankful that sale ends today so I'm not tempted again tomorrow.
Glad that extension worked out for you. Now, I need to get a decent offer from CapOne!!
 
No, but they were never in the terms to begin with
That's my point. Neither was the ability to with gift cards monthly. They started enforcing no more monthly payments with gift cards.

If they start enforcing the terms, as written, bye-bye gift cards.
Look, this is not keeping me up at night, just something I am cautious about before accumulating thousands in gift cards.

Only time will tell, and for now I will buy the occasional discounted card if I can get at least 10%.
 
Sam’s Club has now joined Costco with discounting SouthWest $500 Gift cards.

Price is $429.99 (14% off the $500 value)

Page 1 listed them as discounted already but I had not seen the discount in awhile.

Both Costco.com and Samsclub.com expire 12/25/25 and are limit 5.

Costco in club expire 12/24 I assume this is because they are closed on XMAS day.

I read about Target bonuses in post #2 but it didn’t cover how totals are determined when trying to reach the limit in the offer. This is my current offer:


1734880924991.jpeg


Email delivery would allow me to buy a $25 and a $100 in what looks like one order. The total cost before discounts is over the required $120 to trigger the reward. However, after my 5% discount from using my Target card, the total drops to $118.76 which is obviously below the $120 threshold.

Does this type of Target Circle reward get triggered based on the item total or the cart total (after discounts)?

Please help me strategize how to maximize this offer buying DGC in increments of $ 25, 50, or 100 and either with my Target card or a different credit card.

Thank you 🙏

These types of offers don't usually work with gift cards. Only the ones where you buy $x and get $x back in circle bonuses later. I got this one too (mine is $15 off $80) but it specifically says that it doesn't work with "prepaid cards" so I think that's pretty cut and dry.

This isn't a Circle bonus, gc won't work. This is a coupon for $20 of a $120 purchase.
 
**Post 4 Update**

I've updated Post 4 and changed it around. After trying to list all the offers I straight up give up, that's too darn much work. Idk how @FoxC63 maintained sanity in times prior! The post now includes some general info on cc's that can help you acquire gc's at a discount and quarterly category info and links. I'll update with quarterly categories and DPs if things change or new cautions are warranted.

@FoxC63 is amazing. All DealVengers are amazing. Thank you for all you do!

both sell SW giftcards for $429.99 at times during the year so if you miss it now, it'll come back around again.

Thanks I realize this but others might not.

SW Giftcards are not listed under Costco on Page 1 and the section for Sam's club just lists the sale price with no date.

Just pointing it out as they are currently live at the moment and does give an expiration date for the current time frame.

As others have said, GCs don't count towards your total for this one. If you look at the exclusions, neither do Disney products, Lego, etc. Tons of brands excluded from this compared to the Spend $X Y times to get $Z rewards. When it's multiple spend to earn a reward, that's when GCs usually work.
 
Are you getting those offers by simply using the app for C1 shopping? Someone else got outstanding offers with a chrome extension, but I haven't ever seen anything good...however, I did just realize I had the marketing emails toggled off, so maybe that will help.
For Disney GCs, I did just buy a few more $500 cards on 'GCscom' with the 10% discount and Chase offer, etc. I knew I'd kick myself if I didn't. It's definitely still working and $500 x 2 seemed to be my best option.
Great question. I do have the browser extension installed as well and use it occasionally, so perhaps that’s better at triggering these targeted emails. But I hadn’t used it the couple days preceding this GC offer, so I do think it was browsing in the app that did it.
 
Got my first batch of DGC from GC in the mail. 5x $500 cards and I'm immediately putting them against our 2025 dues. That was easy and great for 10% off!

And hat-tip to whoever recommended the CapOne extension trick. I added the extension yesterday and visited GC site without buying anything. Today I got the 10% enticement offer in my email. Went back in, Activated it in the extension, and ordered one last large batch of 10%-off cards with a 10% CapOne discount on top of it. Have mercy. I think I could hear my card crying every so faintly. Thankful that sale ends today so I'm not tempted again tomorrow.
Yay! That was me, and I’m so glad to hear it worked out so quickly for you! I got the notice this morning from C1 that my order had tracked and $135 in rewards was on the way :-) Hope you get the same soon. They go into pending status for 30-60 days, then you can cash them out for gift cards as someone above said. I usually get Chewy cards and stack that purchase again with the C1 shopping app for 8-15% cash back :-) They have many useful cards though like Walmart, eBay, etc.
 
So if I want to take advantage of the $15 AMEX Pepper offer and I really don't care about anything related to points it's pretty straightforward right? Just make an account, use the card to purchase a Walmart GC or whatever and just call it a day with the $15 back?

OK edit to say I signed up and see that Sam's Club is 5x points. Is that decent? I was looking for Walmart GCs to use today. I remember seeing something about certain times of day they boost points? If I want the GC to use at Walmart in the next few hours am I just grabbing it at the 5x?

Smart & Final is running by $125 in any gift card, get a $20 coupon towards your next purchase. Limit 1 purchase per person (in the past I've done 1 a day just fine). Coupon must be redeemed by 12/31.
Exp 12/23/24
 
My Smart & Final had new DGCs. I bought the DL one, they also have a CA Adventure one (I’m in CA). Cute but unfortunately they’re cardboard. They are normal DGCs, valid on all things Disney. Added to my other DGC just fine.

Fred meyer had these yesterday too but I bought a plastic $50.
 
Beware if you run a credit balance with DVC and decide to sell your membership you can only get refunded to the gift card you used. Now I am stuck with a large disney gift card and have no use for it.
I’d be looking to make a deal with friends or family going to Disney. Someone in your orbit must have a Disney trip planned!
