Has anyone used Best Buy rewards to buy Disney gift cards at Best Buy? I got an offer for my cc and I could get a $50 reward, I would like to use it for a Disney gc.
No that is not correct. I bought the permitted maximum per 6 months on eBay. I bought $5000 in target gift cards and so did my husband. All above board. And bough Disney with them on target. Again all above board. No resale. And it is exactly what I said. I appear as a reseller but I am not. So beware that it could happen to anyoneWell, that does help some, thank you...
I guess what jumps out at me is the $10,000 spend at one time. Trying to do that Ebay churn of $10k meant you bought Ebay cards worth $10k at Target (bought first at Raise?), flipped them at Ebay, then bought $10k worth of Disney at Target again a week later. That's $20k of gift card spend on other gift cards in a short time. That would look like a reseller to anyone.
FWIW, I'm sure you'll get your DVA money back one way or the other. They can be slow, but they're not going to steal your funds. I wouldn't stress about this.
I'll continue, but only with legit items that I actually want. No more repeating of a generic item. Besides I feel terrible when I receive that cardboard box that cost them $5 to ship -- it's truly wasteful. So I'm out of the cheap item cycle.
Perhaps but again it seems like buying $30,000 or however much in gift cards (between target and eBay) could have been the issue. I haven't heard of many people spending that much per year on target.com.No that is not correct. I bought the permitted maximum per 6 months on eBay.

I read enough to know she'll take this as an "attack"!!!Ay Caramba! I beg you, please go back in and edit this with some paragraph breaks. This is too hard on the eyes to read.

Necessary, no....Funny, YES!! I was just injecting a bit of humor in what turned into a one woman battle. Nobody was attacking her to start with.That really wasn't necessary

GCM is getting faster with the shipping. The order I placed on 2/17 just arrived, even though estimated arrival was not until this Friday. 3 whole days early!
Now, do I hold them for a bit or convert back to eBay right away so I'll be ready if there's another extra eBucks promo? I'm not churning large amounts or using any GC's purchased from resellers but I still don't want my account flagged for suspicious activity.
There are lots of other ways to earn MyPoints - paid click e-mails, surveys, watching videos, searching through their site, etc. So you don't necessarily have to spend that much to earn enough points to get a GC.For those that are completely eliminating Ebates from their formula (I have because it never worked for me) you can use MyPoints. It doesn't give nearly as good of a return value but I've made 10 gift card only purchases and every single one of them has been credited by MyPoints without issue. It's 2 points per $1 spent and takes a minimum of 1,750 points for a ($10) Target gift card. So, you have to spend $875 just to get $10 ($2,000 for $25 or $3,900 to get $50) but it's better than a $0 return

I combined a bunch of $5 gift cards online so that I could use them easier in purchases. Wont do that anymore, will take them in store instead. I agree I feel like small potatoes, but when I think of how many Disney gift cards I have bought, it does add up very quickly!Well, I feel bad for those who have been banned from Target.com, but I wouldn't be surprised if I am eventually banned as well. I feel like I am small potatoes compared to some folks out there but just for fun I decided to total up all the gift card purchases I've made from Target. I am at $9,525 total since last August. This includes all my Target/eBay churns, purchasing discounted Target cards during promos, combining Target cards, and buying Southwest cards for airfare. I can see how this adds up very quickly. Even though I am not holding $9,525 of gift cards in my hands, it's the churning that is adding up for me. Oh, well, if I'm banned, then I'm banned. It won't be the end of the world for me personally, but like I said, it just is really unfortunate for those who have had this happen to them.
Good luck to everyone. It's so nice to breath that sigh of relief when everything goes through without a hitch!
