There’s a new deal for Disney gift cards as well as other travel and entertainment providers, offering a “free” $10 GC with purchase of $100 at Best Buy, plus another stackable special offer at Sam’s Club. This covers discount details, YMMV ways to sweeten the savings, and more you need to know about buying and using these gift cards.

If you’re looking for ways to save on gift cards at other retailers, check out our comprehensive Money-Saving Tips for Discount Disney Gift Cards. That covers Kroger, Target, Costco, Meijer and more. We’ve also been sharing deals on gift cards for third party restaurateurs that operate at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

That gift card buying guide includes everything from straightforward sales to more complicated ways to stack savings (e.g. cashback sites, credit card bonuses, etc). This post is shorter and sweeter, focusing on the limited-time sales at Best Buy and Sam’s Club for late February and March 2026.

Normally, 10% off is a great deal on Disney gift cards–even if gated behind a membership at one of the club stores. We jump on discounts offering that degree of savings, especially since virtually every Disney gift card deal has limits. You’ll typically be capped at $800 at the absolute most ($300 in the case of today’s new deal) worth of gift cards with any deal, and it’s very easy to spend $800 at Walt Disney World. That’s one day (at best?) in the parks!

Usually, the best sales happen between mid-November and mid-December and then again during Christmas in July sales (or Memorial/Labor Day). We’re now past the first sweet spot, and have a while to go before the second.

Accordingly, if you still have gift card “needs” for the first half of 2026, it’s time to lower your standards from that 10% threshold. We share all of the gift card sales, so subscribe to our free email newsletter for a heads up when more Disney gift card deals go live.

First up are the details about Best Buy’s gift card sale…

Get a Free $10 Best Buy e-Gift Card when you buy a select $100 travel or entertainment gift cards from BestBuy.com. Add a gift card below to your cart, and a free $10 Best Buy e-Gift Card will be added automatically at checkout.

A valid email address is required to redeem. Redemption information is emailed and available in your Order Details. Redeem in US only. Non-returnable. BestBuy.com account required to purchase. The e-gift card will be created and sent out after your eligible product is received, shipped or picked up in store. (In other words, you may not instantly receive the gift cards.)

Below is a list of eligible gift cards:

Here’s a link to all available gift cards as part of the travel & entertainment sale: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/travel-entertainment-gift-cards

It appears that you’re limited to 3 redemptions of this deal. If you’re buying Disney gift cards, that’ll require 3 separate orders since you can only have 1 Disney gift card per order. No word yet on whether this resets daily, and honestly, I’m not going to find out. I don’t have a huge use for a bunch of Best Buy gift cards at the moment.

That last line cuts to the point on whether this is a good or bad deal. Normally, our threshold is 10% off for sales like this, and the Best Buy deal hits that bar, albeit indirectly. Whether this is a good deal for you depends wholly on whether Best Buy gift cards are a cash equivalent to you. Meaning, will you spend those in your ordinary course of shopping? If so, great! If not, wait.

Note that you might be able to sweeten this deal if you have a US Bank or Chase Offers targeted promo for an extra 5% to 10% cashback. We do not. Equally YMMV, you might have Best Buy Rewards in your account. We do! (Which I assume is due to the last Disney Gift Card deal given that we haven’t bought anything at BB since, so if you took advantage of that deal, it’s worth checking here.)

If you don’t want a Best Buy gift card and need to buy a Disney gift card ASAP for an upcoming trip, Sam’s Club might be your best alternative right now, albeit a very YMMV one.

Sam’s Club has $200 Disney eGift Card for $190, which is not a truly good deal. That’s the normal price; there was a deal earlier this year, but it’s over. Here’s the link to this discounted Disney gift card: https://www.samsclub.com/ip/disney-200-value-egift-card/16518816854

However, this becomes a decent deal if you have a Discover card. For the first quarter (through March 31, 2026), Discover is offering 5% cash back on purchases at Grocery Stores and Wholesale Clubs, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases after you activate the bonus. Login to activate your bonus categories on your Discover account to earn rewards.

Of course, this is only a deal sweetener if you wouldn’t otherwise hit $1,500 in the ordinary course of your spending at grocery stores and wholesale clubs. Even with only one toddler to feed, I’m pretty sure we’ll clear that bar pretty easily without adding Disney gift cards given the current cost of groceries!

Like we said, very YMMV. It requires having a Sam’s Cub membership and Discover card and not otherwise hitting the spending threshold at wholesale clubs…despite having a Sam’s Club membership. Good luck with all of that.

Disney Gift Cards are redeemable at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Disney Store US locations, DisneyStore.com, and beyond.

You can use Disney Gift Cards for almost anything parks-related, including but not limited to theme park tickets, hotel stays, merchandise, restaurants, Lightning Lanes, and even at some participating third party locations (e.g. stores and restaurants at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney).

You can use the gift cards online at Disneyworld.com or Disneyland.com when booking trips, as well as in the respective apps when placing Mobile Orders, etc. Basically, you can use these gift cards for almost anything at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond. There are some odd and random exceptions to this, but they’re almost as good as a regular credit card or currency.

Every Disney gift card deal comes with limits and we always find ourselves taking advantage of sales throughout the year to max out our discounts. We spend more time and money at the parks than the average guest, but even if you’re doing only an annual trip, you’ll likely want to do the same. And from that perspective, 10% off is a hot deal. Even 6-8% off is a good deal. It all adds up.

Speaking of it all adding up, we also highly recommend combining Disney gift cards so you don’t have a wallet or purse filled with a dozen different ones, and you have to make multiple scans at each cash register to figure out which ones still have a balance. Disney gift cards can be combined via Disney’s online management tool under “My Cards.”

You can also use that to check balances. As someone who often forgets to do the former and has had an embarrassing ‘incident’ at Sunshine Seasons involving the scanning of several gift cards (two of which had less than $1 on them) as a line built behind me, that’s a mistake I won’t make again. At least, not anytime soon. Hopefully.

  1. The best buy promotion is wrong as there is not promotion like that going on right not. I just talked to a rep about it and they confirmed that the are not running any promotion that has to deal with Disney gift cards

  2. The new Disney Inspire Visa card is a good deal for those open to a new card. Receive a $300 Disney e-gift card immediately in approval, and $100 statement credit after spending $200 on theme park tickets. That more than covers the annual fee!

  3. Also, check your Target Circle Bonuses if you have a Target Red Card. You get 5% off with the Red Card. I recently had a bonus $40 target circle cash after three $120 purchases. So I purchase $100 gift card, plus $20 of things I was buying anyway, 3 times. This only makes sense if you’re going to spend money at Target anyway. But Target Cash is more useful to me than Best Buy gift cards.

  4. The Sams club offer is still a deal though isn’t it? It may not be a special one, but saying it isn’t a good deal when its a pure discount on a gift card seems a bit incorrect. The Best Buy discount assumes you are already buying something from Best Buy, which may or may not be true, but then ties you to a specific store for your next purchase.

    1. I would argue that “good deal” is a subjective assessment. And this isn’t one (unless you have a Discover card), because that’s the regular price at Sam’s Club and there are frequently sales surpassing that.

      By contrast, “discount” is objective. And yes, that gift card is discounted.

      Both of these are YMMV as far as their quality goes. Nothing like the Target and other sales we saw last holiday season.

  5. I am reading this after just purchasing a $25 Disney GC from BJs for $14.49 using the tiny sale price plus a $10 reward. I don’t know if everyone realizes BJs rewards CAN be used towards gift cards (for us it’s worth it provided the stuff we had to buy to earn the reward in this case coffee was stuff we were going to buy anyway). Right now there’s also a spend $200 on certain items get $50 in rewards. Excellent deal for us.

  6. This reminds me of that meme …..
    Yo dawg we heard you like giftcards so were giving you a giftcard for buying a giftcard

    1. Apparently that doesn’t work. I don’t normally shop at bestbuy so wouldn’t value the e-gift card. But if I could buy the first card and use the $10 to buy the 2nd card and then the $10 from the 2nd to buy the 3rd I’d be in.

      But I checked and Best Buy doesn’t allow the purchase of gift cards with their gift cards, so no loophole for me.
