I have no idea what a flex fuel option is. I'm in Connecticut and stop & shop caps out at 20 gallons. (It may be different where you live)How would you calculate the savings here?
Let's say I get $100 happy lady GC, and thus save $0.80/gallon for a 25 gallon fill up which equals $20.00.
BUT, our Giant fuel pumps do not have a flex fuel option, so while we are saving $0.80/gallon off of their prices, we typically save $0.40/gallon at Sheetz. So, realistically, we are only really saving $10, right?
I don't drive that much so I will only do $200 worth of happy guy cards to convert into disney at homedepot.
I haven't converted cards at home depot before, does anyone know if this still can this still can be done at self checkout up to $100?
I did this last week at two locations near Denver.I haven't converted cards at home depot before, does anyone know if this still can this still can be done at self checkout up to $100?
Thank you!! I think I'll start with doing 50s and see how that goesI did this last week at two locations near Denver.
One was weird and the cashier monitoring self check out had to enter the amount we wanted on the gift cards at his terminal ($100). And then after swiping the HG GCs he had to okay it from his terminal (he did not come back to look at the cards we paid with). DH and I each did a $100 GC and he paid with a $100 HG and I had 2x$50 HGs. Previously at this location I have done $50 HG to $50 Disney alone or with other items in the order, paying the balance with my credit card, with no issues or cashier involvement. I'm not sure if it was the amount or not.
The other location we had no issues buying $100 at self checkout, again DH had 1 HG GC and I had 2, no cashier involvement whatsoever. This store has a much newer/fancier self checkout system.
Your lucky. We use to cap at 35 gallons but they changed it about a year ago to 20.I don't think their POS system allows it.
Giant is a 25 gallon max. Flex fuel is an alternative fuel choice for compatible vehicles.
I'd probably go with the saving $10 for your situation. For me, my grocery store gas station is usually pretty close to everything else around us, and the only place where we can really save money off the price like that, so we end up there for gas a lot anyways.How would you calculate the savings here?

and thank you for asking this, it reminded me to check and see if the money was put back on. Glad to see that it was!! I may try to just pay a bill with this instead of using it for a gift card.
I'm not sure if I tried an eGift card or just a regular DGC....but I HAVE NOT had luck using my virtual visa there.I apologize because I know this has been discussed before. Those who are having issues using virtual visas on shopdisney.com....are you buying e-GC or physical GC? Has anyone had success buying the physical cards with a VV recently?
E-card or physical?
ETA:I see someone was successful with e-GC. Any positive DPs with physical GC? I want a cute design.

So I’ve been getting the cute physical cards from shopDisney using the VV from Swagbucks for some months now, I guess almost a year actually. Usually 2, sometimes 4, $25 cards a month. The very first time I tried I signed into my shopDisney acct but couldn’t get it to work. Eventually I tried not signing in and just doing as a guest checkout. That worked perfectly and haven’t had any problems since that first time, just doing guest checkout! I almost always get a couple $25 gc, each in a single order, though I did do a couple $50 gc’s. Never a shipping charge, love free shipping! I did two a couple weeks ago and have received them, and just did a couple a few days ago. Always buy the cute physical gc’s, never tried an e-gift card. I have a nice little collection of cute Disney gc’s now! My fave is the newest one I got that has Mickey and Minnie in front of the castle with fireworks going off!
Yep, got pretty tired of the red Mickey ones for sure!I just ordered some of the physical gift cards from the Disney store for the first time using the RMN deal. But I paid with my Disney visa. I am excited to be getting some cute ones.

I did miss the RMN deal, I looked but didn’t find a Disney visa deal. I thought maybe I didn’t have it.
And does it really exclude gift cards?Is this new?
