Canadian Disney Gift Cards

Just checked my local Sobeys and Rexall in Calgary and didn’t see anything. I’ll keep checking around at other places the next couple weeks. Only five and a half weeks until we head out!

Is there a way to prepay a rooms only reservation, or would you just buy the gift cards in advance and use when you get there.

Today I went to Walmart in Duncan and found the $25 ones. I’d need 153!!
Then I went to the CT in Duncan and jackpot!! $25-500 ones! I hit my daily debit limit with three cards left I go, so I’ll go back tomorrow and finish it off.
Pretty excited I must say!

I was going to call this week and see. I’ll start with a low amount ($20) and see if it works.
Two and a half weeks before our last trip, our house was broken into and aside from some jewelry and prescription drugs, the only thing that was taken was my two $10 Disney gift cards! So, I don’t trust myself to carry thousands of dollars in gift cards around, so I’ll try it and if it works I’ll make the purchase and payments within minutes of each other.

You can set up an account on the Disney Gift Card site and transfer balances from several cards onto one .. max amount on each card is $1000 but that way if you want to use them to pay off your trip you won't need to rattle off so many numbers!
And from the FAQs on their website
You can use your Disney Gift Card as a form of payment for Walt Disney World® Resort vacation packages and room nights by calling the Walt Disney Travel Company Florida at (407)-W-DISNEY.

Disney Stores sell the gift cards.
Is there any reason it's better to buy from other merchants? Are they discounted, or can you earn points / air miles?

There are times when certain stores have bonus offers on items .. Shoppers usually has one week in November where you will earn bonus points on Gift Card purchases. If Shell ever ends up carrying the cards you can earn Airmiles in their stores on anything (including Gift Cards) and they often have bonus mile events. If you have an AMEX and are participating in the Soar into More promos, these will count towards those offers. Mainly though, most of us are nowhere near a Disney Store!!!

Oh and btw, I actually got Canadian Tire Money on each of the gift card transactions too! I ended up with an extra $14.85 on my CTMoney card!

Thanks! This answers my earlier question about being able to use the gift cards to pay for a Disney cruise. I am definitely going to be looking for them!!

I went through Victoria yesterday 2 Rexalls, a Shoppers, and a Canadian Tire. Nada.

Ugh, I checked the Admiral's Walk Rexall and the Esquimalt Shoppers so if those were not on your list then you can cross them off as not having the cards either!

We're (sadly!) not planning a DL trip for a while so I'm hoping that when the time comes that somewhere here in Victoria stocks them. Duncan is not far to go but I'd rather not make a trip over the Malahat if I can avoid it.

I'm sorry. I should have been more specific - those WERE the Rexall and Shoppers I checked. And the Rexall at Colwood Corners. The Canadian Tire in Esquimalt didn't have any cards.

BUT, that was on Friday, so who knows what they'll have this week? Maybe the larger CT at Westshore will have them?

If you DO end up over the Malahat, let me know and we can meet for coffee and talking all things Dis!

So there is a 10% off CDN tire gift cards coming this week at shoppers, I assume not, but does anyone know whether we can buy other gift cards at CDN tire using a CDN Tire Gift card? thx

EDIT: From what I found online everyone says no, but none of them had first hand experience trying.

are you sure, I just called CTMC and they said you do not get CTM on GC. I would love it. Was it at the 4%(10x) love to hear more.

Of course I'm sure, I was there, LOL. The cashier was surprised too, but after each transaction, I received the CTM and then at Customer Service, I traded it in and put it on my CTM card. You can call CTMC and they'll say no, but the system in Duncan's store told the cashier to give it to me, so they did. Not sure if it was 4% or what, but most likely. I spent around $3800 all told and got $14.00 in CTM.

LOL not doubting you.
so if it was $14 for the $3800 that is aobut 1/2% or .005. not the 4%. But hey every little bit helps. Very Nice

Math is not my strong suit, as I'm sure you can tell. You're right - every little bit is nice to get, especially now that we have a camper and often pop in to CT to grab stuff in the summer.

You will only earn Airmiles on gift cards (of any kind) when there is a specific offer. Last couple of weeks Foodland and Sobeys both had buy a $150 gc get 150 AM. This week Metro has buy a $50 GC for The GAP family stores and get 50 AM.

**side note, don't ever try to use AM coupons in the Rexall in the PATH at King Street, they are NOT happy campers there

The Rexall in FCP concourse level (Adelaide side) is great for AM coupons, etc. All the cashiers seem as AM-happy as I am!
