Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

For returns, it would go back onto the card you used to purchase it (or onto a merchandise card, which I highly recommend you do not do as the card is not combinable with another gift card and can only be used on merchandise).

So you do not need the original cards for the purposes of a return.

However, in the case of fraud, where lets say your card had funds fraudulently stolen or something like that - you do need the original cards to trace back where the funds came from and where you purchased them (show proof of purchase as well).

So, it is recommended that you keep track of which cards you purchased from where, the amount, what it was combined onto and hold onto the receipt as well until after you have spent the money / made sure you did not return anything. Also, it is recommended to cycle the card you use to combine to a new card every so often (at least once per year) to avoid someone figuring out your card number and draining the funds, etc.

Thanks! So in this particular case where I used these cards on a hard ticket which can't be returned and only would be made a credit by Disney to use on a future ticket...I can safely get rid of those cards?

Not until after the tickets are used. If weather cancels the event you can get a full refund instead of having to carry the ticket as a credit.

Yes. You are correct.
Let's say my resort reservation grand total is $3,200
I would label 4 physical DGC: Resort 1, Resort 2, Resort 3 and Resort 4.
After I combine Resort 1 at $1,000, I call Disney to make a payment.
I do this each time until my balance is paid in full.
Here's the link to combine: Direct Link
The Resort cards get wrapped up and placed in a separate ziploc bag. There's no need to bring them with you on your vacation.

If I have budgeted for Special Event Tickets, Food and Souvenirs, I'll combine and label those separately as well.
Personally. I like to use Disney's fancy gift cards for these and you can buy them for as low as $25: Direct link

1718988841078.png
Special Event Ticket: I first find out what it will cost, with taxes, fees - you want the exact dollar so you combine up to that amount or very close to it. $827.47
I use my CC to cover $2.47 so there's zero balance remaining on my Special Event gift card. Put this card in with your Resort ziploc bag as it does not need to go with you on vacation.

The only DGC you'll need to take with you is Food, Souvenirs and a blank card or two for emergencies.

Hope this helps.

@buzzgirls&dad it's important to find out what is on your DGC prior to your trip.

We have Data Points (DP's) of drained gift cards and most recently @Liquidice posted his physical gift card was missing a digit. You can read & follow starting: HERE

Whatever issue you may encounter, it's best resolved as soon as possible and preferably in the comfort of your own home where you have access to everything you need.

Am I reading this right, you don't like to combine/consolidate your DGC?

Bought 4 more yesterday at my local store. Near my work in DC today I got 10 more, all on credit card, no problem. Annual pass here I come! I had a few from target at 10 percentish off but this batch should be 26% taking into account my Amex grocery bonus.

Just to close this out I have 20 people from my spouse’s family visiting in a couple of weeks so we took a trip to Safeway with all the coupons to stock up. We couldn’t get them to work on self-service so we went to a full service line. They initially rang up at .01 but when the total closed out the entire $15 appeared, so long as the total of items after other discounts was at least $15. We spent $195 in the coupons and about $40 in cash, which was worth it even with the slight embarrassment factor of checking out and paying in $15 chunks. I feel like a super-couponer lol.

We are getting them to work at self checkout, but they need to be approved by the person watching the self checkout area. We’ve been scanning the coupon, inserting it and then they come over to approve. Totally not embarrassed by using them and you shouldn’t be either. We have 7 left to use by 6/27. The signs are still hanging in multiple places at my store for the buy $75 and get the $15 coupon, even though the expiration date for the promo was yesterday. My kids think we should get more since the signs are still hanging. They both know at the age of 10 and 12 that “They have to honor it”. Luckily, I think we have enough gift cards for the cruise, but contemplating a Halloween party trip. 🤔

Correct. I feel like I've read about issues with the website, such as combined cards being wiped out. I did have a card on my most recent trip be empty. Thankfully it was just $25. I only had the little ticket that it was activated so I didn't remember which store I purchased it from. There wasn't anything I could do. So now I'm really gun shy about buying, combing etc. I know this would be time consuming but could a call with my DGC and have them enter them in batches or is there a limit on how many I can use to pay my balance.

The information you've read most likely had to do with people combining DGC from a third party seller, which we don't recommend. There's always two sides to a coin, right? Posters might not be forth coming with all the details, which if they posted here, we would ask, like a lot of questions to get the heart of the matter.

Reading the receipt & activation slip after purchase, in front of the cashier, is important. Don't leave the line until you're 100% sure your cards have been activated and are of the correct amount. Keeping both slips with your GC is highly recommended, so is keeping a spreadsheet. I know, more work right? Think of it as your investment because it really is. Whether you spend $500 on up to 5K, that's not chump change, it's your sweat equity and you should protect it.

Drained cards happen no matter where they're purchased. We have DP's on those too both physical and egifts but it has nothing to do with the Disney gift card site.

It's not very time consuming to combine when you consider you still need to confirm the balance prior to your trip.
When you buy a DGC, go to the site, log in and add the card(s) to your account. You'll see your balance right away, which we all recommend. Add a main card, transfer funds and you're done.

How many cards can you call in? I think it depends on the CM. I'm not sure there is a specific number because I only give them one $1,000 at a time. Hopefully others will post their experience.

If you follow the recommendations here that have been passed onto you, you'll be well equipped to handle any issue that might arise. And if you have any questions or concerns, we're here.

They are also using a computer and there are lots of work from home employees, cant be certain if this dept does but I don't really see calling in as any safer.

That is another excellent point. Your DGC are not safe until after your trip is complete. We have DP's where a peep was checking out of their resort and found out a few DGC were used by someone else. The peep paid his balance with a CC then when he arrived home he contacted Disney. They required him to show proof of purchase etc and he did. Disney gave him the choice of using his gift cards or keeping the balance on his CC, he chose to use the DGC's. Which is smart, you never know what might happen to them prior to your next vacation.
Note, the resort never notified him, how are they suppose to know the cards were being used fraudulently.

When it says expires, does that mean when the GC expires or when the deal will stop being available? Thank you.

FoxC63 thank you so much for walking me through the DGC usage. I do like to get them for the trip but between the new horrible paper cards, the delicate scratch off area and fraud it's a bit of a PIA and I just want to make sure I'm controlling as much as I can.
