Re: Target DEBIT card?

I have the charge. My only annoyance is that unlike places like Macy's, they can't look it up if you left it home. i don't even know where my card is. But anyway, the 5% off across the board is awesome, especially for saving 5% off the top of the gift cards and therefore your entire Disney vacation if you want. The only thing with the debit is that there is a limit, so i've heard of people having to do multiple trips at least at first. I know of some people who get it JUST for the 5% off Disney gift cards.

Re: Target DEBIT card?

Last time I was at Target, the cashier told me I just needed to bring in a blank check if I wanted to sign up for the Debit card and have the funds come directly from my checking account.

I just keep forgetting to carry around a blank check with me.

All of my purchases are straight from my debit card, so it's something I'd consider.

Re: Target DEBIT card?

I got the debit card mainly for the free shipping because their shipping is $$$ if you're spending under $50. I'm a credit card shopper because I get airline miles. I don't make huge purchases at Target, so typically, if I'm shopping at the store, I'll still use my credit card because I'd rather get 30 airline miles if I'm spending $30, over $1.50 off.

or just take the little pamphlet across from the register Chat Icon you can fill it out and mail it in! Thats what I did! (make sure its for Debit, not credit or vice versa)

Can you use the Disney Gift card to buy the tickets online?

I have the debit card and it's great. The 5% adds up and the free shipping is fantastic! So worth it.

You can use it to do almost anything. I have clients who pay for their entire vacation in gift cards. I know that doing it online there is sometimes a limit to how many cards you can use, but you can always do it by phone.

Are you saying you can get 5% off of the gift cards they sell near the registers (for restaurants, other stores, etc.) I thought those were excluded... that would be a real steal!

As long as it's not a TARGET gift card or a CASH gift card (like Amex, Visa, etc) it works!
