Tricia...

just curious.........say someone cashes out for a gift card, but it arrives just after they left for their vacation......if that someone has a family member get the mail and open the SR one with gift card, could the person just get the card # on back and use it that way at WDW (meaning not have card in hand, but have the right pin #?

You may not know this (not sure if you've encountered this before), but if anyone who reads this does please post.....

thanks, pamela

Here is a round about answer. I had two gift cards emailed to me by SR and I used them to put a deposit on a trip. Well then I cancelled the trip and wanted to use the gift card numbers for a different trip. I called the resort to see if I could apply the gift card numbers to my room since I had already paid for everything I just wanted to use them as my spending money. They would not let me do that. They said I couldn't apply the cards to my room until I had checked in and if I wanted to apply once I was checked in they would need the cards in hand to do it. I went round and round trying to find a way. I finally had to add money to one of the cards so that I could then use them to order my park tickets and then I used my park ticket money as spending money. So basically no place at Disney is going to accept the card numbers without have the cards in hand.

Thanks Janet...

that is what I was afraid of........I was hoping that if the card came while I was in disney I could call home and get the pin number to have them put it on my room as credit for me to use! Rats.....this thursday will be 6 weeks exactly....
