I was just doing the math, after putting in for another Disney gift card...realized I've now redeemed for $300 worth of gift cards, for 283.50 credits. So wildly cool!
Yeah, I've done the trial offers where you put out a dollar, or a bit more, I've gotten some things that I never thought about getting (business cards, or a cute little t-shirt for DS) that I paid shipping for, and so on. But really, everything else involves things I would have gotten anyway...books, movie memberships, shoe shopping, and so on.
A year ago I would have made the same purchases, but gotten NOTHING back on them. But now I've helped myself by getting credit back, and of course have helped the Sunshine family for what they get b/c of my shopping, and I can't believe what a chump I was for not doing this before!
Of course, I didn't know about it last year. :) And it only took a couple months on the Dis for me to realize that the people talking this site up weren't lying... :rotfl:
What's funny is I've already spent part of one of the big Disney gift cards, b/c I needed a bathing suit and could find NOTHING reasonable, until I noticed a Mickey hana print bathing suit on disneyshopping outlet. And then just yesterday I ordered two, yes two, mickey print dresses (one hana, one postcard print) from the same place. I'm a total weirdo who likes wearing dresses to amusement parks, I just find them cooler, so now I have two outfits for disneyland, and a bathing suit for the Paradise Pier and/or DLH pools! (now I get to see if disneyshopping gives SR credit for shopping WITH a giftcard like shoebuy does)
Beyond the gift cards, because of what I've found through this site, I have tried Crocs, DS has two new pairs of shoes, I bought some gift for a friend's baby shower, DH will soon have new Tevas...I have those Mickey print clothes, we have movies to buy and rent, books to buy that DS loves (and some books for me, too)...if we meet anyone at Disneyland and become best friends forever, we'll have business cards with name and email address, and DS will have a cute little screenprinted shirt. Oh and don't forget the "anniversary" band I got because SR introduced me to ice.com. AND just the other night I made an order through gap.com, for a little black dress I hope I can wear to my upcoming 20 year reunion!
Anyway, I just wanted to share how cool it all is, and thank the Sunshines for having such a great site, business, and community (I will never forget how you all were NICE to me after my very bad day with DS).
