Reporting back in. I spoke to one of the Target supervisors at the store where I purchased and they were very interested and thankful for me bringing this to their attention. Luckily she had personally purchased and used DGC herself so she knew what I was talking about when I pointed out the scammy glue strips that were on my card and the lack of numbers printed under the "Scratch off gently" silver strip. She said the store loss prevention team would keep and eye on it and possibly review their store security tapes for suspicious activity. Also they now have a record if anybody else comes in with the same issue.

Disney Gift Card customer service asked for me to send pics of my receipt as well as the front and back of the scam gift card. They were able to put a freeze on the funds associated with that card number and they are going to reissue me a new eGift card to my email address.

A side note on the ongoing discussion about mingling legitimately purchased gift cards vs 3rd party resellers of gift cards: if my scammer had resold my scam DGC number on one of these 3rd party sites, whoever bought that card, has now had those funds frozen and that person is now out their $50. It's a very sophisticated laundering of money. From what I can piece together it's:
1 - Scammer has a stash of real gift card numbers
2 - Scammer recreates the UPC code of legit gift card numbers on dummy gift cards and puts them out on the shelf at Target.
3 - Target scans the UPC code and collects the money from the legitimate customer.
4 - The scammer's Disney Gift Card is now funded and active.
5 - The person who bought the DGC from Target has nothing until they get resolution from Disney.
6 - The scammer can re-sell this now active DGC on a 3rd party selling website.
7 - The scammer gets close to face value from whomever purchased the DGC from the 3rd party website.
8 - The unsuspecting person buying the DGC from a 3rd party website gets their DGC frozen and is now out the money they spent and no DGC to show for it.
9 - Unsuspecting person may also have all of their other associated DGC frozen while Disney investigates their legitimacy.

Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I'm so sorry for your troubles. I must say, your reports are very detailed which will help our community should we come across the same, so thanks for that. While at Target, did they find anymore of these fraudulent cards?

Thanks I just grabbed one.

Where, please? Not familiar with this one. Thanks.

They didn't ask me for my contact info and I left it to them to consult with the loss prevention team and figure it out. I doubt that I'll get any follow up info but honestly it was just really refreshing to talk to a store employee who demonstrably cared about the problem and had a plan to get to the bottom of it.

Do you have anything you need from Amazon? (And then transfer that money you would spend at Amazon to your vacation fund).
It's very easy to add any amount to your Amazon GC balance. That's what I usually end up doing with the low oddball amounts.

Yep that's what I did.. then ordered whole foods pick up

Sigh, I've tried to check out on two different browers and even downloaded the app, but the same thing happens. It asks me to log in again and then takes me to the normal Costco page. I click same day again and it just goes in a circle.

I wonder if this means the offer is not valid in your area.

I don't get to the part of putting in a code or anything. It just doesn't let me start the check out process

@robinb
Yeah, its a bit concerning. I did buy one... $840 all at once is a good deal and I plan to use it right away to help pay for a Grand Cal stay in September. But I know I'll be worrying until we check out of the hotel. I'm starting to think that's not worth it. I used a credit card, of course, but hopefully there won't be any hassles.

I bought a few of these gift cards based on other's recs on this site, used them to pay off my upcoming Disneyland package. One thing to note that struck me as really odd - while they list them as unused gift cards - you can go into the history of the gift card to see transactions - every one of my gift cards was purchased that morning from Sam's Club directly and then emailed to me as an attachment. Their chat support is 3rd party serviced overseas - I had to follow up about 5 times after 30 days before I got them all. It's definitely super-shady and had all my senses tingling, they weren't getting 16% off on Sam's online gift cards, so I'll leave it up to you to draw conclusions on why they'd do that. I only bought because I figured I had protection from my CC if everything went wrong.

The 16% wasn't much more than waiting for Sam's to have the CashApp 10% boost and then doing $400 a day between my wife and I. That's definitely what I'll be waiting to use in the future.

Yikes. Sam's had some nice Black Friday deals last year, also, but they went so quickly I didn't get a chance.

New Best Buy Chase offer on my card, same terms (10% back up to$25, multiple purchases) but expires 06/02/2022. I think the last one expires soon. I didn't get targeted on that round.
