Disney Gift Card Deals

[linzjane88]

FYI...my register no longer prompts for a signature or an ID. This is a recent update. The only time I need a signature is with a Home Depot credit card. I try a real cashier next time and I don’t see an issue. Maybe someone can try it and let us all know. I don’t have an Office Max in my state or I would try it myself.

Good to know. I will give it a shot. Also, if you have a Safeway in your area you can still get a decent deal as they have Happy Dads for 10% for a few more days.

Were the Happy Gift cards on sale at Kroger also or just at Office Depot and Office Max??

I don't *think* Kroger had any special deals on the Happy cards beyond fuel points.

My register was hardcoded against taking Visa gcs for the happy cards

Noooo!

My Amex offer is 10% at Staples (SPG bus). I thought all the Amex offers were for 10% on the busn cards. Is yours only 5?

Yeah I have the simply cash business card and its always been only 5%. Last month i had an Amex offer for 10% up to $1000

Happy cards are loadable $20-$500 at Kroger. 4x fuel points with digital coupon.

I decided to get more Happy Guy cards at OD today (since it's the last day for the extra $10.00 off $50.00). I was the first customer in the store and the cash register, for some reason, wasn't starting up. The cashier called over the Assistant Store Manager, who said in no uncertain terms (when he saw my 5 cards) "only 1 gift card per transaction". He then left and the cashier said "sorry, I have to ring them up as 1 transaction" (which would mean that I would only get 1 card -- otherwise I'd dilute the savings). So I very nicely told him I would just keep lining up and buying 1 at a time and to keep the pile handy for me. He discreetly looked around and put the 5 separate transactions through for me. When he was done the Assistant Store Manager swung by the cash and boy did he give the cashier the evil look for completing my transactions.

I did take the last 5 Happy Guy cards on the rack. I have 4 cards left for BB&B and heading over there now. Not excited to go through the experience I went through last night -- hope that it's easier today. But for 20% off Disney GCs I deem that it's worth it!

Was that just at OD? I just got 4x200 VGC at STaples and was hoping to use them at Safeway to pick up Happy cards @ 10% off.

My OD ran out of Happy Guy cards. I was able to grab the last 2 and was able to convert to Disney at HD no problem through self checkout. Got $100 worth of Happy Lady cards, but our local BB&B doesn't carry gift cards! Is there a way to find out which BB&B carry gift cards without calling each store? There are several in my area, but not super close.

I'd just call a few. I called the closest one to me and they said they carried GCs and also told me they had Disney GCs!

I finished my last 4 Happy Lady cards at BB&B this afternoon. I waited for a young cashier and she put the Disney GCs through no problem -- thank goodness!

Hi - I’m new to this looking for savings for Disney GC’s. I’ve done BJ’s with the Discover promotion but that’s about it. Reading some of these posts with abbreviations is quite confusing- is there a good intro post somewhere? I’d like to learn about what Dosh, RMN, and other things are. Getting a deal is quite addicting!

I’d like to thank the poster who posted the Happy GC deal . Worked like a charm at OM and then HD. I only wish I read about it sooner.

Not that I'm aware of, it changes as the deals change, but mostly we've been discussing cashback apps lately. Dosh is the name of the app, RMN is RetailMeNot, SB is Swagbucks. Sometimes the best deal is stacking a sale with an app or cash back portal and credit card.

If there's an abbreviation not clear let us know. Sometimes even I feel like I'm back in the early days of texting when I post

Thanks. Probably won’t work for me then but I did find this...looks like they are opening free shopping starting 10/15. Hope the Disney discount is good till then!

The $500 Disney gift cards are already back up to $484.99. The others are still 8% off though.

When you do self checkout are you buying variable load Disney gift cards?

This was a variable load Happy card at the Office Max and Office Depot stores I went to on 10/12 and 10/13. I told the cashier I wanted $50 on the Happy Guy card each time and just to be safe I did 2 at a time in separate transactions. The total for each was $40.

I liked this deal because it didn't take a lot of thought. Went to OM for the Happy card then next door to HD for the disney gift card. Using self check out was great because no one was in my business

The Happy deal expired yesterday as far as I can tell.....I have 2 pages to read in this thread so hopefully there is another good deal in the making. I am now keeping a spreadsheet for this trip in 6 weeks and I have a lot of Disney GC to buy to pay for our 4 night stay at CR Theme park view!

Is this Safeway gas stations?

Plus the 5% Uber credit when doing the Visa locals thingy . . .

Yes! I had $60 worth of Uber credit from using the Sams Dosh deal and it came in handy last week when we Ubered to Universal then back to Boardwalk without paying a dime out of pocket!

I seriously considered it for a second but then I realized I am a baby (honestly, I can't believe I did the second transaction after the first one!) and eventhough logically it's not stealing because the cards have no value I would totally get sweaty and awkward and just look like I was up to something. I would probaly get the cops called on me in seconds for acting suspicious.

It's a good thing I am not typically inclined to do anything 'bad' because I would never be able to get away with it

I know, right? It's totally on the up and up but I felt guilty as well! A cashier even came up to me when I was in the self check aisle and was asking me about disney gift cards in general. I know my face had to be red!

We don't have anything Safeway around these parts. I went to Office Max and Office Depot for the Happy Guy cards then to Home Depot to convert them to Disney Gift cards.

The dirty cat toys lying around my house probably don't have value either, but if someone took them, it would still be stealing. You'd still be taking something from a store that doesn't belong to you. I think this is a questionable practice, and being arrested is a pretty big deterrent for me. My head explodes every time I read about people doing this.

i think you misunderstood her post. She said she contemplated using her Happy Card to pay for the Disney Gift Card, then IF the cashier asked for identification she would hand over her drivers license and her credit card.......

I think this was about taking gift cards from one store and paying for them at another.
