It kind of just happened. I found a few good deals for Target GC on GiftCardGranny and did it. The closest Target is 45 minutes away from me so after seeing great deals in a few weeks, it just piled up. I was planning on using the Red Card to get the 5% off, but the cards that I found were 8%... hopefully I don't suffer because of it.
OH, you got to be so careful with these, keep very close track of those cards. When buying cards from resale shop it is always best to convert them as quick as possible. Good luck and hopefully the Target glitch is fixed prior to your Vac Date.
Have done this BB QR deal thing a couple times now. The first time I bought disney gc at BB on a Saturday, we each did 6 $50 gc's, (manager okayed it), and didn't get any email or SBs pending, tho I saw them in shop activity. Had given up getting anything, but the following Thur all the 500
At least now I know not to bother looking for SB points, as none I did that night will be worth very much if anything. Grrrr!
Wow - I hope it all works out for you! Luckily they are Target gift cards so worst case scenario you could attempt to liquidate on a GC resale site yourself. Obviously you got them at 8% off and probably earned some CC rewards on top of it. So worst case scenario you may lose a few percent... (I obviously don't want it to come to that for you!)
UGH! Thanks, wish I had known this ^ prior to purchasing.
. It's funny when people ask me about my watch and I tell them I got it for FREE
. I love it, but I never in a million years would have paid $300 for a watch. It just happened that when the churn went dead and I was stuck with $300 in eBay funds that I suddenly had to burn, I figured I would blow them on something I would never otherwise purchase. 
I got "stuck" with $300 in eBucks....so I bought an Apple watch from the Best Buy store on eBay
I am now torn between redeeming my SB for Target or BB. I have never had a problem at either store and both are conveniently located for me. My trip is not until October so I have time. Right now, I have enough SB in my account to redeem 2200 each month until I leave for a $25 gift card. My plan was to redeem for Target. If I could no longer convert GC->GC, at least I can use Target GC for household purchases. On the other hand, I can use the QR codes (for NOW) at Best Buy and earn additional SB off of my already-free purchases (churning). The only risk is that I would be dealing with $50 amounts and I would have to wait 2 months (only one $25 gift card per month) and by then, the QR offer might no longer be active. On top of that, if GC->GC were to suddenly be discontinued, I do not want to be stuck with $50 in BB gift cards since I have no real use for them. The advantage to BB is that I could potentially earn another $30 if the current offers stay in place. That's $30 I can earn off of free money. It probably wouldn't be available for this year's trip, but I have another one on the books for October 2019 and I need about $1500-$1800 in gift cards for that trip too so every little bit will help. So do I gamble and redeem for BB on April 1, or do I play it safe and stick with Target???
It’s consistently inconsistent!
I had to draw the line somewhere, it's almost a part time job keeping up with all the programs
a gift card technically it’s not real money, it’s a promise that Visa will cover whatever expenses you rack up on the card so there are not really legal way to turn it into cash instead of a purchase. You can google possible ways but all of them come with great risks and are not worth the possible savings. If you have a Visa prepaid card then yes, you an turn it into cash as technically it is already cash.
