Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

Ok, I am assuming that it is just not possible to get cash back from TCB when purchasing gift cards through like Sam's, Target, ect? Right? I have looked and can't find anything. I know that technically you are not supposed to but I was thinking there might be a loophole of sorts.

It has never worked for me with TCB. Some people suggest adding filler items when buying GCs. Unfortunately, that's not guaranteed to work. I've gotten cash back on just the filler items instead of the entire order.

OK, that is what I was thinking was happening. Thanks.

• Limit 2 per customer for a $40 total maximum
• Bonus Cash expires after 30 days

Did this today. Make sure to take a look at the flier as the computer system is VERY PARTICULAR about which gift cards it accepts for the deal. I tried to get a Chili's GC, but they didn't have the $25 one pictured in the ad, and the $15-100 Chili's card does not qualify. I swapped to just Dominos instead.

Check the receipt to make sure it says you earned your $20 Bonuscash.

Does the Happy Moments, which is good at Bed Bath & Beyond work for Disney Gift Card purchase?

Does the Happy Moments, which is good at Bed Bath & Beyond work for Disney Gift Card purchase?

It's YMMV. Some stores allow it others don't. Same goes for Lowe's & Home Depot. Here in my neck of the woods Macomb, MI - Home Depot is a no go.
It's recommended when trying to use Happy GC's, you take things slow and find out which stores work and never stock up on these gc's. You never know when it will stop working. Good luck!

More Ways To Save

Credit Cards that offer Global Entry and/or TSA PreCheck Credit



In this segment of "More Ways To Save" we explore credit cards that offer TSA PreCheck and Global Entry credits, to save you the $100 or $85 application fee.

Here are top five travel credit cards that offer Global Entry and/or TSA PreCheck credit, ranked from lowest to highest annual fee:

• Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card ($95 annual fee, waived the first year)
• Bank of America Premium Rewards Visa credit card ($95 annual fee)
• Chase Sapphire Reserve ($550 annual fee)
• Citi Prestige Card ($495 annual fee)
• The Platinum Card from American Express ($550 annual fee). Additionally, American Express has its own list of cards that can help you pay for trusted traveler programs.

Make a Folder
If you have multiple eligible cards , you can use different cards to pay for different family members’ application fees and have them reimbursed. Just remember to keep track of which family member uses what reimbursement benefit since you’ll want to use that credit again in four or five years when you need to re-enroll.

This seems to be a popular subject on various Travel/Credit Card websites as many have updated for 2020 travel, be sure to check your favorite sites. Lastly, if you plan on opening up a new cc, check out I love credit cards so much! v3.0 thread hosted by @SouthFayetteFan .

Staying on topic, you might want to read this article too "TSA PreCheck vs. Global Entry vs. CLEAR: What’s the difference?"

TSA Precheck speeds up security screenings for flights departing from U.S. airports. As the name suggests, it’s operated by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration. A five-year membership costs $85.​

Global Entry provides the benefits of TSA Precheck plus faster U.S. customs screening for international travelers arriving at U.S. airports. It’s run by a different agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A five-year membership costs $100. While more comprehensive, its requirements are more stringent and include a passport and an interview.​

CLEAR uses your eyes and fingertips rather than traditional IDs to verify your identity when you travel. The most expensive program of the three, CLEAR costs $179 for an annual membership and does not include TSA PreCheck, like Global Entry does.​

​

Mobile Passport App can help you after touching down from a flight abroad. This free app guides passengers through submitting passport data on arrival in the U.S. and transmits it to CBP for approval. After a few seconds, users will receive a barcoded receipt and can follow the signs designated for the Mobile Passport lane (it will be the one without any waiting) for expedited entry into America. The basic version of the app remains free, but you'll need to enter your data for each trip manually. Otherwise, you can opt for the premium version, Mobile Passport Plus, for $14.99 a year, which safely stores your data for future flight.​

Kroger 4x fuel points on gift cards with digital coupon 2/28-3/1. Looks like this should be for all 3rd party gift cards this time.

We just used this credit for DH to apply for global entry. Applied/paid 1/13 and the credit posted 1/16, so that was pretty quick. They put up to $100 because that’s how much GE costs. But I believe it’s just for one person, and you can pick either tsa precheck or global entry.

How to pay with a gift card online at Sam's Club
1. Begin checkout by selecting your cart after adding items you wish to purchase.
2. Once you arrive at the payment screen, locate the Sam's Club Gift Card option and select + Add new under Sam's gift card.

3. Input the Card number and 4-digit PIN (Locate the PIN by scratching off security film on back). Click the Save button for the card to be used in your transaction. The button will remain translucent and unusable until all required info is entered.

4. If you're using multiple gift cards or an accompanying credit card, you can allocate a dollar amount to each gift card or credit card used. Available balance on gift cards can be checked from this screen by clicking the "Check current balance" and entering all required information.
5. Once the entire amount has been allocated, you will be able to click Continue and complete checkout. Sam's Direct Link

If your gift card has a PIN (personal identification number) code, it may be used at:

• Sam's Club
• Walmart stores
• SamsClub.com or Walmart.com
• Gift Cards and eGift Cards cannot be used to pay Membership fees
• Only a Gift of Membership card can be used to pay Membership fees

If your gift card does not have a PIN code, you may only use it at:

I’ve bought tickets twice from Sams (AP’s once and 7 day hoppers once) and I’ve never seen an option to use gift cards as payment.
