Disney Gift Card Deals

[uncharch7]

I bit the bullet and bought some Target GCs. I used $100 from GCs I've accrued at Target from buy 2 get a GC promos; bought eBay GCs and got them in time to take advantage of the promo.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet they're willing to share for keeping track of profits? Everything I'm seeing online is for churning to resell via Cardpool, Raise, etc. I started a basic one but I haven't quite figured out yet the best way to calculate taking the Target GCs I bought today to buy more eBay GCs and build the profit before I ultimately buy the Disney GCs (or am I thinking about this all wrong??).

So question: Does eBay enforce its maximum 8 gift cards per order limit? Has anyone been able to use more than 8 gift card codes since eBay lifted the PayPal limit?

Yes to both It seems really weird and arbitrary. Sometimes they enforce 8. Sometimes they don't. I wouldn't count on it not being enforced. They do seem to definitely enforce the $1000 max in ebay gc per order.

I just tried my first $200 ebay gc order from Target. It worked like a charm (I ordered a single gift card, nothing else, no portal, received code in a little over an hour). Now, I have to decide if I do another $200 ebay, or maybe a few $100 ebay in a single order. I got a total of $1650 in target cards today, but I only put $600 on my account so far, and already had close to $90. I'm hoping to stay under the radar. I'm thinking I'll do a few $100s in an order tonight, tomorrow add a few more gc, order another $200, wait a day or so, add a few cards, etc. Kind of spread them out. Unless, of course, there's an ebay bucks deal.

This is how I do mine too. I spread them out, never ordering more than $300 at one time and always at least a day apart. I also go through ebates sometimes but not always. Back in December, I was ordering more aggressively and getting lots of cancelled orders. With my current strategy, I've not had a cancellation in months. :knock on wood:

I have $900 to convert. I was think of $300 a week. i am not in a big hurry and want to stay under the radar.

Whew...

Crazy day today. I wasn't planning on a decent promotion today and haven't started churning for my trip in August. I have about $150 in Gamestop trade credit from flipping games. Since it's only a 5 hour sale and it takes about an hour for the gift cards to activate, I had to drive from my job to Gamestop during lunch to buy the GC, wait for it to activate, and then buy the Target Cards before they sell out.

At least I'm on the right track and I've started my churning for my trip.

I remember seeing Ebay GC's at Best Buy from what I remember, so if the Target GC's are sold out, I'm assuming you can buy Best Buy and Gamestop gift cards with that same promo and churn Ebay gift cards from there to get the $15 off.

I could be wrong but I think the coupon code for ebay has expired. My aunt tried it about 45 mins ago and it said it was expired. Maybe you will have better luck!

I would think you would be fine with $300 a week since I turn $300 a few times a week. However, none of us know what is triggering the Target bannings so we can't say for sure. I do know some here are doing more in a week than I am and have not been banned.

I was able to get it, as I bought it a couple hours ago. The code was supposed to be from 9am-2pm PST IIRC.

I was at a conference all day, but got in for the eBay coupon right when I got home. I had churned $300 from Target to eBay last night in case there was a eBay bucks promo today. Only thing that was available was the $150 cards. I grabbed one on my account and then tried to get one on DH's but it wouldn't let me add gift cards to his order, so I gave up. A $16.50 profit is still pretty darn good for today.

They've restocked the GCM cards, have $50, $100, $150 available! Gonna try to go buy now with the code.

Sorry, I missed how long ago you posted! Glad you got one.

 

[Minniekins]

So, is there a new code to use? It says the code I saw here is expired? Or is the sale just over?

Let me know if it works. My aunt wants one but it won't let her use the code.

Code doesn't work anymore-tried to use it with my husband's PayPal a few minutes ago

It expired. It was a 5 hour "flash sale."

Nope, said expired! Disappointing. Thinking of putting something thru anyway on DD25's account to maybe spark the promo to come to her account next time. This woulda been a good way to get a little cash back on that. Wondering if it's worth doing that or if it won't matter at all.

Argh, missed it totally! Almost did the $150, was going back to do it and refreshed, it had the cards back in stock but then boom - stopped, lol.

Thanks! I would be interested to read it.

And thanks to PP on the slickdeals offer. I went into my ebates & found it & bought 2- $50 Target gcs (the $100 gc were out of stock!). I have 2 other $50 Target gcs coming this week from ebay & just need another $50 one to get my ebucks for the quarter. Just starting churning & am very thankful to all the helpful posters for taking time to share this with us newbies! I'm still reading through this thread & having fun trying to learn all about this!

A Warning about electronic gift cards and gift card sites!!

Anyone else not so much into Swagbucks anymore? Don't get me wrong, I love the free gift cards, but my patience has been wearing thin with surveys lately and with earning $200 Ebay Bucks this quarter just from purchases, it seems like it's not really worth my time as much as it used to be!

I never could get into SB. I spent what felt like an eternity one evening trying to do surveys only to be disqualified. For as much churning as I fill my time I won't do SB which is odd because it seems right up my alley.

I make $100/month mainly doing it while I'm exercising (and watching tv). It's good play money.

I earned $75 (almost to my 4th $25 gc) over the course of about 2 months which is definitely awesome, but I just can't invest a ton of time in it (running the apps and all that). The surveys are a total pain in the behind!

Does anyone have anything to report on using Splender on Ebay?? I just tried it yesterday when I bought a Staples gift card. It is suppose to pay 2% but nothing has appeared in my account yet. Has anyone used it before and how long does it take for your money to post??

I've been using Splender quite a bit lately. For me, the credit takes 2 days to appear in my account. Bet you'll have it tomorrow.
