    Disney Gift Card Deals

    I haven't been actively churning for about a month for a variety of reasons - I cashed out a bunch of my fund to be ready for my cruise deposit, then the ebay/PP stuff hit the fan and lastly I had surgery, so I've just been checking the board periodically to see if there were any new...

    Holy Smokes!!

    If you really want WDW to be an option, check into renting DVC points to get into some of the multi-bedroom villas, then you'll have a kitchen and multiple bathrooms. Then I'd drop the DDxP - that's a TON of food and, granted, for 10 adults you may be ok with spending that much time eating, but...

    I'm pretty sure she said using an egift card she always went to Sears first and bought a physical Kmart card, then bought the ebay and/or Disney at Kmart to avoid the manager interaction. I could be wrong though...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    I tried purchasing more first and it wouldn't let me put in all my GC - told me I bought more than the daily limit (?) but I assume that's just a generic message and that's when I went back and calculated what I'd bought in the last 2 months. Then when I tried just $100 I didn't have a problem -...

    Ugh. I'm hitting against the $2000 limit on ebay. Looking back to 6/8 I've bought $2225 total, minus $335 of ebucks means I've used $1890 in GC and I can't buy more than $100 right now :( Of course, my DH's account didn't receive the offer and has plenty of wiggle room before hitting that...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    My purchases and trade ins went so well yesterday (minus my screw up that I'm chalking up to learning curve...) that I'm actually considering keeping $100-150 in GS on hand for when this sort of thing pops up! I did use my GS rewards card when purchasing the games, so I'll use those rewards for...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    Thank you for posting this! I successfully bought and traded two of the Rainbow Six Siege, but screwed up the other - I'm not sure what was different about the title I bought and traded, but I only got $7 for it. Not a big deal, since my goal was to use up my Game Stop cards and this wasn't as...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    My closest store (45 minutes away) only had $25 eBay cards as well, this last time! It was a bit tedious buying $500 worth, but aside from the time involved, everything went very smoothly! It was even more tedious entering a bunch of them through the eBay app yesterday...

    Ugh. Getting frustrated with BB.com! I'm trying to take advantage of the ebates offer ($5 off $25) and ordering a GC for in store pick up. I first tried, several days ago, getting a $50 ebay card and paying with a BB egift card. It was cancelled & I was't too surprised. However, I realized I had...

    Just got back from our annual trip to Lake Ann (just outside Traverse City). I've been going for almost 30 years, so your talking about my happy place. I second checking out Leland or some of the other lake towns. We tubed the Platt river once & my dad underestimated the sun & had dangerous sun...

    Looking for saving tips for fall '17 trip.

    I second the suggestions for the ASMu Suites. We stayed there in fall 2015 (waaay too long ago...) with a group of six (DH & I, DS, twin DD's and my niece) and we were very comfortable there. We booked with free dining and upgraded to the regular plan - totally worth it to us. Like you, I'm a...

    Those using swagbucks ???

    ACK!!! Just realized the Wen offer I ordered on 4/28 has not credited!! Can anyone confirm that it should be showing up as a "Special Offer" when I'm searching my ledger? I want to make doubly sure I'm not missing it somewhere before submitting a ticket... Thanks!

    Advice for New Years at WDW please.

    Just curious what people's thoughts are on some of the TS restaurants NYE and NY Day at the resorts? Is it hard to find availability or do they holidays skew it one way or the other?

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    Another interesting trip to my GameStop... I bought some Skylander figures B2G3 that I can hopefully resell and was getting a $200 ebay GC with them. Found out that now (along with the approval for a $250 GC purchase with GC) if your GC purchase is more than $100 and you are using more than 2 GC...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    So I managed to get $200 GS thru PPDG so I'm going to move forward with my plan of buying something to resell on ebay when I go to use it. With luck I'll find something in the $25-50 range that will sell easily for what I paid for it! I also ordered 2 - $250 GS cards from nationalgiftcard, whom...

    Dream itineraries for Jan 2018

    I know it hasn't been released yet (and if I were patient I wouldn't worry about it until this fall...), but I'm trying to figure out what the early Jan 2018 Dream sailings might be... I'm assuming that because of the holidays the normal 3-night/4-night rotation is disrupted in December, which...

    Interesting experience at GameStop this afternoon. I had $360 in GC to turn into eBay, so I went to my normal store to do it. The cashier apologized and said they had new procedures in place and had to call customer service for any GC to GC transactions over $250. She said that she knows I'm...
