What Type Of Discounts Are Available On Disney Gift Cards?
Discounts on Disney gift cards will typically come as a below-face-value offer or a cash back offer.
Cash back offers are when you get a certain percentage or dollar amount of your purchase to use towards a future purchase at the same store.
Below-face-value offers are when gift cards are sold below what they're valued at as a way to entice customers to come into a store to purchase other items and goods.
Where Can You Find Discounted Disney Gift Cards?
TARGET
Target is a great option available across the country to get a Disney gift card.
Best of all, you can get Disney gift cards for 5% off their face value if you have a Target-branded credit or debit card.
This means that if you purchase a $100 Disney gift card, you'll only pay $95
Even if you don't have a Target card you can still use Target's free cartwheel mobile app to get 1% cash back at checkout. You won't get an instant saving this way, but you'll be able to use that 1% cash back on a future Target purchase.
Discounted Disney gift cards are available online and in stores from Target, though you'll likely find a much better supply online!
SAM'S CLUB
If you have a Sam's Club membership you can get an instant savings on Disney gift cards because they are sold below face value for members!
Depending on the value of the gift card you're purchasing, you'll see anything from $2 - $10 off on Disney gift cards at Sam's Club.
For example, Sam's Club might sell a $100 Disney gift card for $97. While it sounds crazy, Sam's Club does this to entice people to come into their stores and sign up for a membership.
Without a Sam's Club membership you won't be able to purchase their discounted Disney gift cards, so keep this in mind before heading to your nearest Sam's.
Discounted Disney gift cards are available both online and in stores from Sam's Club!
BJ'S WHOLESALE CLUB
Similar to Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale Club sells Disney gift cards discounted below face value.
You'll also need a BJ's Wholesale Club membership to have access to their discounted Disney gift cards, but this could be worth the signup fee if you're buying a lot of gift cards as well as other goods from BJ's.
Discounted Disney gift cards are available both online and in stores from BJ's!
EBAY
While we don't recommend this option, eBay is certainly a way to purchase a discounted Disney gift card.
People who might receive a Disney gift card as a gift and won't be using the gift card often put their gift cards for sale on eBay as a discount, in hopes to get some cash for the gift card they won't use.
You also might find some folks who listed their gift card on eBay because they have gift card funds leftover from a Disney vacation and won't be returning to Disneyland or Walt Disney World anytime soon.
However, most Disney gift cards sold on eBay have zero balance and are sold for collectible purposes. Hardcore Disney fans sometimes want to get their hands on every gift card design possible!
As mentioned earlier, we don't recommend going this route at all because eBay doesn't support e-delivery of gift cards (meaning your gift card will be mailed) and it's hard to validate the authenticity of the gift card!
CARDCASH
CardCash is another option to purchase a discounted Disney gift card, but we'd recommend Target, Sam's Club, or BJ's before considering CardCash.
Like eBay, CardCash helps people who don't have a use for their Disney gift card by selling them for cash.
Because these gift cards are coming second hand, they're offered at a discount. Compared to Target, BJ's, or Sam's Club, CardCash doesn't have the strongest discounts on their Disney gift cards.
This less attractive discount paired with the fact that you're buying a second-hand gift card makes CardCash an option we'd typically skip if looking for a discounted Disney gift card.
What Are The Top Discounted Disney Gift Card Deals?
The best deals on discounted Disney gift cards are going to be at Target or Sam's Club.
Target offers 5% off any Disney gift card simply by having a Target credit or debit card. It's an easy way to get a discount on Disney gift cards without needing to pay any membership fees.
Even if you don't want to get a Target credit or debit card, you can save 1% on Disney gift cards by simply using the Target mobile app while checking out! These savings are a little different will come in the form of cash back to use on a future Target purchase.
Sam's Club is our second pick for top discounted Disney gift card deals.
Sam's has some of the most aggressive markdowns on Disney gift cards available, so if you happen to have a Sam's Club membership (or considering one) it's worth checking out their collection of Disney gift cards.
Target's deals have an edge over Sam's Club because they're often cheaper and don't require any sort of membership fees to get access to the discounted gift cards!
