They have a big gift card display near the cash
Where in a Canadian Tire store do you find gift cards?

I'm in Airdrie! I actually found the gift cards at Safeway last week and superstore a few weeks ago!Not sure this has been asked, but my family and I are heading on a Disney Cruise 2018 December my TA said I can use the Disney GC to pay for my balance is this right? Can I also use it as credit on board? Can you only get the GC at the Disney Store? I'm in Airdrie Alberta. Does it work out better then using my Canadian CC?
I found them again at Walmart in Halifax, $25 AND $50! I struggled whether to pick any up as I'm not sure I want to depart with the cash in our savings account right before Christmas. Good to see that they will still be bringing them in though. I thought it was a one-time thing.
Basic answer, YES the gift cards can be used for cruise as well, both for payment of the cruise itself and on board. Not sure what would happen if the trip gets cancelled after GC have been used though, sorry.I have not had a chance to read through the thread but have a few questions. I bought a gift card for our family Christmas exchange. I have a Jan 2019 cruise wedding planned. Can the GC be used towards their stateroom payment? If it is used for that and they cancel what would happen to the GC amount?
Can the GC be used on the ship in general?
I did a comparison after shopping in the states on the weekend. Using the disney gift card and using my Amazon(0% foreign exchange fee) visa within an hour of each other, the difference was around a half a cent difference (IE 1.282 with disney card, 1.287 with Amazon) which is just the spread visa charges. For me I will be paying for my trip with gift cards because I gain that half a percent, as well Amazon only gives 1% cash back whereas my other cards give me 1.5%-2% depending on whether it is at a grocery store or not.
For any Calgarians I found $25 and $50 gift cards at the Walmart on 130th. Bought a couple $50 for a stocking stuffer for DS for our trip next year.
Thanks! Finally someone has found them in our Cowtown
No kidding... I have been stalking Safeway and Shoppers Drug Mart for them, as well as any other gift card board.Hopefully they start showing up at other areas and locations but I know the Rexall and Sobey's down this way have not had them so I was super happy to find them at Walmart.
I see them everywhere up in the north end.For any Calgarians I found $25 and $50 gift cards at the Walmart on 130th. Bought a couple $50 for a stocking stuffer for DS for our trip next year.
You can definitely use them at the parks. I've been using them to make payments on my room reservation in WDW in March. They are worth their value in Canadian dollars but when you use them in the parks it's converted to USD so it will only be worth whatever the exchange rate is. I believe they go off of the exchange rate of the previous day when you use them.I'm sorry I haven't looked through this thread yet but can someone please explain this to me? My boyfriend purchased me a $50 Disney GC for Christmas which says it will be good at the Disneyland resort for our upcoming trip. However he obviously paid for it in Canadian funds as we are in the Vancouver area, and he purchased it at our local Walmart. I was reading on other Google sits and they say that if paid in Canadian funds you can't use them at the resort as it has to be an American gift card. Why would they sell them in Canada if they can't be used as stated, and what happens to our exchange rate with the cards?

Not to take over the thread, but what is the benefit of getting these other than you can set a limit on your spending? From what I have read you still have to pay the exchange rate on every purchase?
