Disney Gift Card Deals

[disfanforlife]

None of the best buy stores anywhere close have eBay cards in stock. I tried placing an order for a store in my mom's hometown, but the order keeps getting cancelled. I checked out as a guest using all of her information so should could pick them up for me. The cancellation email says: "Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your information, so we canceled item(s) from your order."

Anyone get this before? I am trying to buy $400 worth, so maybe the amount is raising a red flag? Anyone else had any trouble ordering online? What if she went into the store, would they allow her to make the purchase?

I ordered some online, but it was only two of them and bought one in person. My store only has the $25 eBay cards. But now they also have Disney gift cards too. I got one of the best buy cards with the eBay deal. It wouldn't let me order more than one.

I don't know if this has anything to do with what you're experiencing online, but I went into Best Buy a couple of months ago and tried to buy $200 worth of $25 eBay gift cards. The cashier said there was a limit of five cards per customer. Maybe there is a limit online?

I got that yesterday, but I was only trying to buy $150 worth. I haven't been into the store yet to try.

Any update?

I was the OP on this. Recap: I purchased $1000+ in electronic target cards from cardpool. When I went to used them 5 days later they were all empty. I reached out to cardpool's customer service through email because there is no telephone number to call. The auto response to an email says that they will get back to you within the next business day. I sent them my first email on 2/29 and heard back later in the day, they wanted more information. I replied that same day and have not heard anything since. I tried sending a new email another two times with no response. They last email was sent on March 2. I have heard nothing back. I started doing some research and found that a ton of people have had to file complaints with the BBB so that is what I did as well. I wish it wouldn't have come to that, but I have had no communication from cardpool. The complaint was sent to cardpool on March 7. BBB said they have 10 business days to respond. I will update when I hear something.

I mentioned in my complaint that in Cardpool's Terms of Use it states When you sell of a Gift Card to Cardpool via the Service, ownership of the Gift Card and any interest therein to Cardpool is immediately and automatically to Cardpool. You agree that you will not redeem any portion of the Gift Card at any point subsequent to the sale to Cardpool. You further agree that you will be charged a replacement fee if the Gift Card proves to be invalid, as determined in Cardpool’s reasonable discretion. The replacement fee will be equal to the balance that you reported at the time of the sale plus an additional $10 service fee. Cardpool is not responsible for any errors that you have made in entering gift card information.

After this ordeal, I don't think I will be using cardpool anymore. I would rather save less and use Raise. I have read that raise has better customer service and they have a 888 number right on their website! At this point Cardpool has no customer service.

I tried ordering just 4 cards with one of my $100 cards and it just got canceled again. I did see that there were Disney cards at my Best Buy, so I might just have to buy those, though I was hoping to churn this money through a few more times. I guess that is just the risk that I took by buying into the Best Buy cards. Ugh.

So can someone explain to me about the ebay bucks? I am signed up for it, but i haven't received any sort of email/message about 5x promotion. When I log in, I don't see any mention of it anywhere. I clicked on a Target GCard auction from GCM, and it only showed earning$1 for a purchase. What am I missing?

If you received the 5x promo, you would have received an email and/or see a banner on your eBay home page offering you the option to activate it.

Here's a post where I explain eBay Bucks in detail:

Essentially, eBay Bucks are a form of cash back that eBay gives you for the eligible purchases you make on eBay. If you enroll for eBay Bucks, you'll always get 2% on eligible purchases.

• Occasionally, eBay has short periods where they offer bonus eBay Bucks - typically it's anywhere from 2X-5X, which would mean 4%-10%. I believe there's rarely even 6X. Not everyone receives these promotions - it's essentially random.
• Most purchases on eBay qualify for eBay bucks; the most relevant exception is eBay gift cards. However, there are other ineligible items aside from eBay gift card purchases. Before you make a large purchase it may be worth looking at the terms to ensure eligibility.
• You cannot earn more than $100 in eBay Bucks in a single transaction, and you cannot earn more than $500 in eBay Bucks in a quarter.
• You will receive eBay Bucks for an entire quarter shortly after the quarter ends. You are paid in the form of an eBay Bucks certificate, which you can use for purchases on eBay (including Target and eBay gift cards). You will only receive an eBay Bucks certificate if you earn more than $5 in a quarter.

Here's information from a previous post I made about eBay Bucks - it should get you started on the enrollment process:

Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed formula to get eBay Bucks Offers. If you want to get them and aren't currently, go to My eBay > Account > Communication Preferences > Promotions and Surveys. I have the first four boxes checked there to be safe, but I think the only one that matters is "General email promotions." If you already have that checked and you're not getting eBay Bucks offers, uncheck it, save that, and check it + save again. I had to do that a handful of times over the course of several weeks until I finally got them.

You also need to make sure you are enrolled for eBay Bucks, which you do here: eBay Bucks Rewards Enrollment.

You won't know if it "worked" until you actually get an eBay Bucks offer email, so it's really a guessing game.

 

[Disney_1derland]

You have a small non-GC Item in your cart, too? And have entered your Target REDcard info?

Enter to to/from info and continue and before you confirm and pay ("complete order"), below the Summary box on the right that shows your totals, there's a blue link that says something like "Pay with a gift card." Click on that and then enter your GC info. The discount *should* stick.

Thank you! It was the 'extra item' step that I was missing! That worked like a charm!

Uh, sorry you have to deal with that. I've been lucky to get my cards refunded quickly from raise and Cardcash. Never needed to with cardpool but good info. I'm almost jumping on the bandwagon with other members who only use fuel perk grocery store deals to start their churning. Though there's something to be said for getting deals without getting out of my pajamas

I won't be buying from them either.
This is what it states on their website "* Return policy does not apply to electronic gift cards or mobile gift cards due to the nature of the program."
ETA: Nevermind, it looks like that statement only applies if you change your mind for some reason, or you aren't satisfied.
Too much risk for me.

Oh my, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I cannot believe Cardpool's CS is so poor! I have only bought from them once but I never will again.

I am one who is not buying gift cards this way anymore. I had problems with Lowe's not accepting the vouchers I purchased from Raise b/c Lowe's believed they were fraudulent, and then all these Target bannings which seem to maybe somehow be tied to having used gift cards bought from resellers. I now only buy from the grocery store with fuel perks or start off buying my Target cards from GCM during an ebucks promo.

Ugh, that is awful. I hope you are able to get it resolved. I have been using my discount GC immediately after purchase, just in case. I would think they would have some kind of waiting period before they pay the sellers for their GCs to make sure nothing like this happens first. I think I will probably stick to Raise from now on. Thanks for updating for us!

All you are missing is the offer, which I'm missing also. There doesn't seem to be any pattern on who gets the offers. I got a 5x in Feb. and the 3x last week but nothing this week. Just keep waiting.

I should have $200 in Target cards coming from my first attempt at churning.I'm one of the unlucky ones not getting the extra eBucks promos so so far I've not been very successful. What do you guys suggest I do with this batch? Just buy the Disney cg through Target.com with the 5%%

If you can be patient, hard I know, but eventually you should start seeing the ebay bucks promos. You just recently signed up, right? Some go in and uncheck the promo communications, save, and then redo, trying to trigger it. You could try that. But, try to give it some time and hopefully you'll start getting the promos in the next few weeks. Really not much point in churning until you start getting the promos. So, if it was me, I'd try to just sit tight and hang onto the target cards I had until I got a promo.

Actually, you do earn more ebay bucks when you purchase using ebay bucks. Win-win! FWIW, last quarter when I tried to use my ebay bucks, it would not allow me to use a gift card at the same time I used ebay bucks. There were a few people that reported the same problem as me, but as many or more who were able to. Just a warning that you may or may not have that go easily for you when the time comes.

So, do you know, could you use the ebucks, (I got the max $500), and purchase $500 in Target cards and pay the shipping charges with a cc then instead of a gc?

PerfessorZ is correct. I earned ebay bucks spending my ebay bucks in October and January, and they did not count against my 5K limit (I was already over by January).

That's great, thank you! And makes sense, otherwise you couldn't even use the ebucks if maxed out!

Correct, you can only get 500 Ebay Bucks. I was new at this and was not expecting the X times offers to come so frequently. So I jumoed on everyone that came because my trip is next month. I quickly burned through my 5k limit. After my trip, it will only be 5x offers from then on....

I thought you said you were using the one ebay account with two paypals, so that's why I wondering about the $500 limit being only on ebay's end. Because then, even using the second paypal acct, you wouldn't get any ebucks on the $5000 you use thru the second acct. I think I better stick with trying to get my DD25's new ebay acct/paypal acct going, lol! All done with my own till late July, that $5000 does go really quickly!

I tried ordering just 4 cards with one of my $100 cards and it just got canceled again. I did see that there were Disney cards at my Best Buy, so I might just have to buy those, though I was hoping to churn this money through a few more times. I guess that is just the risk that I took by buying into the Best Buy cards. Ugh.

I just did it for the first time so I am far from an expert. But I think if you order them online you have to chooses store pick up. They won't ship them. The two I ordered were for $50 total plus I bought I video game for my son for the other $50. So there went my $100 best buy card. I just used used the $10 eBay card I got with it yesterday towards shipping for my eBay order. So, now, I am on my second cycle of churn through eBay. I was a little slow going converting from target to eBay cards again. I want to take my time and not order too many at once from target. So, I only orders $450 worth. Hopefully the next time I get a 5 x ebucks promtion I will have $900 ready to churn.

These were placed as store pickup orders. It does not let you ship, as you say.

 

[eeyoresmom]

For those of us that recently signed up for eBay bucks and are hoping to be included in future promos, what should we do to be "ready" Have Target cards on hand?

Sorry, I misunderstood then. I thought you said that your best buy did not have the eBay cards.

What I meant by being ready was to buy eBay gift cards from target. That way when I get a promotion I have the eBay gift cards ready to be used to buy target gift cards from eBay.

I haven't made any purchases in a while and stumbled across that this morning. That is a lot of stuff to exclude and now they don't award points if you use a gift card to pay?
