Disney Gift Cards at 28% off and with no money out of pocket? How?


Our first, but not our last.

In yesterday's post, I mentioned I had cashed out some swagbucks, enough for a $25 prepaid Visa. That was 2150 instead of the usual 2500. (You can do this once a month)

Then I went to BestBuy.com and activated my 2% swagbucks back (50 bucks/cents). And the best buy rewards (1% or 25c).  Then I ordered.

S21.50-.50-.25+ $19.75 for a giftcard

I understand there is a 750 swagbuck bonus if you order $100 from BestBuy.

The above method makes the $100 in gift card cost $79. The added bonus makes it $71.50.

For $1000, that's $715.

For a $4000 Disney trip, done this way: $2860.  That's a LOT of surveys and videos. But it's also a lot of savings.

You can get another percentage point back if you use a Best Buy credit card.

If you'd like to try this, and need to sign up,  I get a referral bonus from Swagbucks if you use this link:

The Drawbacks:

1) You must amass 100,000 swagbucks
1a) you must wait until prepaid Visas or paypal payouts are on sale for 2150 instead of 2500. This can be the hardest part.
2) You must be a Best Buy reward member
3) It helps if you have a BestBuy credit card. That's another $40 off your total.
