I went through Ebates just in case but it says it excludes Target and Wal-Mart.
Darn exclusions. I almost never bother going through Ebates at Target anymore because they exclude pretty much everything I buy at Target.
I have never gotten an email from chase about any of these offers....
That works, but I would advise paying the bill every few days, to make sure you don't go over the charging threshold where they charge your card. You can keep track of your running room balance on the app.It is kind of weird actually. I recently changed my email with Chase (changing from work email to personal). I have 3 cards that have the offer. 2 of the emails went to the newly changed personal and the other one went to my old work one. Maybe they are sending them out and it is going into a spam folder or something for you?
My Freedom charge posted this morning for the $300 worth of Disney Gift cards I got at Best Buy. 3000 UR points. Now I am thinking maybe I should go back and use it on my Reserve and FU.
My embarrassing question for the day if someone can make sure I am right: for once we are staying onsite at WDW. Since we are instead of carrying around gift cards like I usually do I thought I might as well take advantage of the room charging privileges. Am I right that how it will work is we just scan our band, enter our pin, and then before check out stop by the front desk and pay off the room bill with the gift cards? Is that right? Anything I should be aware of with that plan?

Also, make sure you pay off the balance the night before you check out. Otherwise, your credit card on file will automatically be charged for any outstanding balance overnight the night before check out.That works, but I would advise paying the bill every few days, to make sure you don't go over the charging threshold where they charge your card.

Being able to track room charges on the MDE app was a terrific update. When we were there last August, I found that charges appeared on the app pretty much immediately after I made a purchase.
Ha, that’s a good point. Who knows the reason Disney had for adding that feature but I’m not complaining! I’m also sure there are still plenty of people who charge away on their MBs without tracking their spending. They’re on vacation after all!A little off topic, but does Disney want you to be able to track all your room charges in real time? I always thought the genius of Magic Bands (at least for Disney’s bottom line) was you can pay for everything so quick and easy with a single tap but never have to see how much you’re spending!
Ha I tracked mine constantly, but it didn't curb my spending one tiny little bit!!!Ha, that’s a good point. Who knows the reason Disney had for adding that feature but I’m not complaining!

Ditto. It either meant I budgeted too much for the trip or spot on. Jury is still out I think but I did make all my year end budget goals...Ha I tracked mine constantly, but it didn't curb my spending one tiny little bit!!!
I just got back from my local Target (Lakeline Cedar Park, Texas) and I bought a Disney gift card and some other items in the self check. I paid with two gift cards (one I just bought on Raise this morning with the coupon code) and instead of requiring the employee to come over and enter the access code, the computer asked me and I was just able to type it right in. This is definitely MUCH easier.
I just used my $50 mammogram Visa from Anthem at Best Buy yesterday to get a Disney GC. I still need to find out what other gc's I can get; I'm not sure whether to call Anthem directly or ? This is through a high school district and I'm not sure which person to contact about it. But I'm intrigued about your statement that they have Disney gc's; I was sent a Visa in the mail with the offer to get $50 for having a mammogram (which I was already scheduled for anyway). I had the radiologist sign the form, sent it in and waited for my card. I received a text notice that my card had been activated so I called, thinking that someone had gotten ahold of it. It turns out that what I thought was a fake card in the original letter was the actual Visa and they activate it once they've received your paperwork! So glad I didn't toss it! Just an FYI if anyone else happens to get an offer like this.If anyone has Anthem health incentives (gift cards for being tobacco free, filling out health questionnaire, get flu shot, annual check up, etc.) I just noticed they have Disney gift cards. I have $150 coming that I will be converting to Disney gift cards.
Anthem uses hallmark business connections for our program. It was a major pain finding out how it worked but once I figured it out it was a breeze. They probably offer 200 different gift cards.I just used my $50 mammogram Visa from Anthem at Best Buy yesterday to get a Disney GC.

Just a heads up: The bonus "savings code" from last month's Best Buy/CashStar deal were in my email inbox this morning. Keep an eye open for yours if you took advantage of the offer. Use them by 2/3/18
