I appreciate everyone’s help on this page, and I wanted to share a few of my own data points.
On Black Friday, I purchased several Disney gift cards through RetailMeNot, my gift cards purchased from shopDisney and Target are all still in pending, fingers crossed. My gift cards purchased from BJ’s and Staples never tracked. And Chase already credited me the maximum amount back, $7.50 for my shopDisney purchases.
I tried the Honey app for DGC, my purchases, all tracked, but were pending at a zero dollar amount.
I use the chase Kohl’s offer for a maximum amount back of $20 on several Chase cards. The cashier was kind enough to ring up my gift cards as three separate purchases using three separate payments. I purchased multiple gift cards in store. The $20 was credited back to my accounts within three days on all chase cards.
I use the American Express business offer, $50 back on a $250 purchase at Lowe’s. I purchased $250 in Disney gift cards in store at Lowe’s last night and it tracked immediately.
The only real problem I’m having with the cash back portals, RMN and Rakuten Are there not tracking my actual non-Disney gift card purchases. They have yet to track my purchases for Old Navy, Adidas and Sephora. But I don’t want to draw attention to my account, so I’m not going to dispute it with them.
Overall for me, I’m having a very successful Disney gift card shopping experience this summer and fall, saving about 15 to 20% on each gift card purchase which is better than my usual 5 to 10%. My trip isn’t until October 2023, so I have plenty of time to keep shopping for gift cards.
