Every once in a while, Sam’s Club offers $100 Disney Gift Cards for $98.87. Wow, a whole $1.13 savings, here comes Remy!!! Just kidding, the real deal is the $10 bonus Disney Store Bonus Gift card which is included. So, for $98.87 you get $100 worth of Disney Gift Card which can be used on your cruise at guest services to pay for anything you charge to your room. Plus you get an additional $10, free, to use at the Disney Store or DisneyStore.com. The only limitation I can see, is that there are limited quantities available. Last night there were only 3 available, but still that is $30 free!
From past experience when these cards are gone they are not immediately restocked. We bought a few a couple years ago and used them to pay our stateroom charges.
Depending on how much you typically charge to your stateroom, including tips, this is a great way to pay your bill while pocketing free money to spend at the Disney Store or DisneyStore.com. Here is a quick breakdown of the savings you could accumulate when purchasing multiple gift cards at Sam’s Club.

The bonus gift card is a Disney STORE gift card, not a regular Disney gift card.
It is quite a shame this does not include the World of Disney store.
But you can still use the Disney STORE gift card at the Disney STORE to buy Disney Dollars, right?
I just called my local Disney Store to inquire and I was informed that they do not sell Disney Dollars. As a result, I did not bother to ask if I could use the Bonus Gift Card to pay for them.
I did not find at my local Sam’s. How do I find these?
My wife read one account where theses cards were not supposed to be out for sale until later this fall.
The back of the card states “this card may not be used toward the purchase of theme park passes, gift cards or Disney dollars.”
I have looked at 3 Sam’s Clubs in Michigan and one in Holland (Toledo) Ohio and could not find these. I found $50 Disney cards for just over $48. In the Holland Ohio store they had a 3 pack of $25 cards for just over $74 and it had a coupon for 15% of your entire order at the Disney Store. Nowhere could I find the one’s like the $100 denomination cards with the $10 bonus cards.
If anyone has found these in November 2012 please let me know where you found them.
Glenn,
Thanks for reminding me about these. I have not been to Sam’s Club in a while. I am wondering if these will start showing up around Black Friday.
I checked Sam’s Club tonight and these cards are no where to be seen. The Disney gift cards come with a Vinylmation Pin.
I checked online at Samsclub.com, and they aren’t online, either. I’m sure they are only out during certain times of the year. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for these; we have a Disney vacation booked for next September, and I’d like to use these gift cards to pay off the trip and use the bonus Disney Store cards for souvenirs before we go. Thanks for posting this!
