This is more of a Disney Gift Card rant. I have $725 on a card, and decided yesterday morning to go ahead and buy a few Disney e-gift cards from Target to add to that card's balance and bring it to an even $1k. Figured that would be enough for our trip (we leave tomorrow).
Ordered the Disney e-gift cards at 9:20am yesterday. Got emails not long after saying the cards had "shipped" to my inbox. Waited...and waited.....and...waited. Finally last evening when they hadn't arrived, I called. I was told it could take "up to 24 hours" for them to arrive in my email. Okay. So this morning at 9:30 when they still weren't there, I called again. Over an hour on the phone (most of it on hold and being transferred from place to place), I get a "gift card expert" who is friendly and she tries to help. She contacts the people responsible for sending the e-gift cards, tells me they are resent and stays on the line while I wait....and wait...and....wait. They never show up. So SHE sends me an email (which comes right through), and says if I haven't seen the cards show up by 2:30 this afternoon to reply to that email and she'll call me.
2:30 rolls around and still no e-gift cards. I reply to her email. 4:30 rolls around and I still haven't had a call from her, so I email again, this time a little irritated and asking her to please give me a call or to just go ahead and cancel the order.
It's 4:51 now. She told me that her department closes at 4:30 her time (5:30 my time). So, I have a sneaking suspicion I will not hear from her tonight. Meanwhile a $275 charge is pending on my credit card for gift cards I never received that I planned to use in Disney over the next 5 days.
I have purchased Disney e-gift cards from Target.com before without an issue, but NEVER AGAIN.
*End rant.
