Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

[Sleepy425]

A third of my dues are now set for 2024! 10% discount plus the $9 back for the Costco Visa is pretty good considering I didn't have to jump through any hoops or anything.

Ugh.. just signed up for another card today and this would have been a perfect spend for the SUB...

 

[MamaKate]

I'm excited for the Costco offer! I have 5% back at warehouses on my Best Buy Citibank card. Hopefully that applies to Costco online. If not , 10% off my annual dues is still good

I do hope Costco starts carrying Disney gift cards. Especially since I didn't renew my Sam's membership that expired a couple weeks ago...

I saw your post shortly after you posted it, was about to text my DH, then remembered he had said we’d spent our DGC budget on several of Best Buy’s $50 DGC for $42.50 last week. Guess who came to me a couple hours later, having seen the Costco offer on FB! Turns out we hadn’t blown that discounted DVC dues budget after all!

 

[wisconsinmom]

Yay for the Costco cards! I have enough already for my dues for this year but might as well get started on next year!

 

[TheDailyMoo]

I always wonder where the discounts on these cards come from. Is Disney selling these to Costco for $220 each and Costco making 5 bucks a pop?

 

[Twilghtsprkle]

I'm sorry for the confusion, ShopRite offer stands:

ShopRite

  • Must be one transaction.
  • Limit one per customer, with card
  • Excludes: ShopRite, Visa, Mastercard & all financial products.

Just got next week’s circular and the $20 for $100 in GCs (excluding ShopRite and visa & Mastercard) is repeated.

Mostly Disney. For them it's about cash flow and getting you to use/visit and spend more. There's also a small percentage of people that forgets or loses their cards, but mostly about cash flow.

They're giving away some of their "profit" to get your money today. It helps if they're struggling with cash flow, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're short. They can also use it for investments, improvements, etc.

It's like an interest free loan for them. You give them a loan and they'll pay you back at some point in the future. The difference is they'll pay you back with a service they have full control of the margins. So instead of a 20% profit in dining (made up number), they'll only have 10%, but got you to pay and commit to use it months/years in advance.

The second one is they're giving you a $25 discount betting that you're going to spend even more than $250 with them and they can recover what they gave you.

One of the few areas where I can see it really hurts them is DVC dues. They don't have any profit there, so technically that's lost money to them.

Yup and that's going to be where I spend most of it! I guess it's also very similar to Rakuten where the companies give us whatever marketing money was set aside directly through the shopping portals to get us to shop. When Costco or BJs or Sam's gives an extra discount on gift cards, such as when Southwest goes to 429 or 399 is that coming from the big box store's bottom line or have the companies basically subsidized those extra discounts as well.

For some reason, I wrote off the Costco DGCs as I was thinking it was 5% not 10%. I can't do math! Ordered my two, once I get them I will see if I can do one more order. Too bad I already hit my $1500 on my Chase Freedom lol. Depleted my gc stash on my last trip and with Dopey to Dumbo coming up this is a big help!

Edit: Placed 2 orders with 2 cards each, waited to get the 1st order before placing the 2nd order. No issues receiving both orders in under 15 minutes, will not try a 3rd based on experiences here. Used same Costco account and email/address but different credit cards. Thanks all!

Used my Costco shop card I received from my last Disney cruise to place my order.

I was just coming on to say this! I don't know what made me wake up this morning and check Costco's website but something told me to do it!

I do hope Costco starts carrying Disney gift cards. Especially since I didn't renew my Sam's membership that expired a couple weeks ago...

My SAMS membership expires in 4 days so I'm hoping Costco will continue carrying DGC too! I have to pay off our April cruise!

Okay not a gift card deal but Costco has the 10 inch Disney digital picture frame on special today for $80

 

[Euby]

Thanks everyone! I bit the bullet and got a Costco Membership. Even though the closest one is 24 miles away. I used a code that is supposed to give me a $40 shop card. Looks like I'll be going into town the next few days to make it all official. I was able to place the on-line order right after getting my membership. Will update when the gift cards arrive.

 

[Doingitagain]

I was able to get the Costco cards, two orders of two for me and then two orders of two under my husbands login. We have the same membership, but separate logins. You may want to try that if you have another name on your membership.

 

[Jillfo]

I also was able to get a second set of two Disney gift cards from Costco.

I just purchased a second round of eDGC on two accounts. DVC is covered for 2024.
