Yes , all the time. There is a transfer function.

Yes it definitely accepts Canadian gift cards and you can consolidate them onto one card up to $1000!

That's great! Is that $1000 US or Canadian? For example, can I load $1350 CDN which at the current exchange rate equals $1000 US (ouch)?

I think it’s Canadian but I’m not 100% sure on that. I’ve never maxed one out!

I'm pretty sure it's $1000 CDN in Canada and $1000 US in the US. Why, no clue.

That’s what I thought as well

Just another savings tip for buying Disney gift cards. You can use petro points to buy gift cards.

So I went ahead and did it last night and you are correct, I could only transfer $1000 CDN to one card, even though the card total showed $761 US on the site.

But it all worked great for me, bought my APs with gcs so I don't have to pay the processing fee my credit card charged.

I've also found that the Disney GCs give you as close to the quoted FX rate as possible and doesn't charge a fee on top of it like everywhere else will. You can guarantee that the rate you get will be the previous day's closing rate!

We aren't taking our next trip until early 2021. Should I start to combine my cards NOW? I'm just worried if I were to lose the one card with the combined amount on it! Right now, I literally have like 15 gift cards ($25s and $50s) in my sock drawer LOL

As long as you had an empty card you could transfer the balance to the empty card if you lost the loaded one. I actually plan on bringing a couple of spare empty cards in case that happens.

Okay so once I transfer them all over, I should keep a few of the empties...

Yes and loaded in the site even though they’re empty. I’m so thankful that you can transfer funds online. Last year on our trip I lost my wallet with my Disney gift card in it. Luckily it was found intact under the Manta coaster at Seaworld and I got everything back but in the meantime I was sure happy I was able to transfer the money to a different card I had on the website!! The funds were safe even if my card was never retrieved.

FYI - I just made a payment on my Feb 2020 cruise online with $500 CDN ($393.16 USD) of my consolidated gift cards, I had zero problems entering the gift card number online and the payment processed without me having to call. I hope it stays this smooth each time I want to apply a payment! I didn't use a TA to book my cruise, not sure if that makes a difference.

this thread is so helpful!

i recently ‘redeemed’ PC points for my first gift card. It’s just sitting in a drawer right now, but hopefully I’ll add to it soon. It would be great to pay off a good portion of our next Disney trip with redeemed cards!

I got to page seven 7 and have decided to just post this question.
I'm sorry if it's already been asked.
Can I use Disney Gift Cards to pay my DVC dues?
Thanks

Yes, I've done it every year since Disney gift cards have been available in Canada (either two years or three, can't remember). I do it online, just log into your dvcmember account and pay.

OH YES!!!
Now I know what to tell people I want for special occasions like birthdays and what not. I will also start picking up a few when grocery shopping at Sobeys.
Thanks for the information
