Great meals using SR Disney giftcards

Just got back from 10 wonderful days at WDW and Disney Cruise. We enjoyed great meals at WDW like Ohana's, Boma's, Teppan Edo, and Rose and Crown and not a dime came out of my pocket for these but used Disney giftcards earned on SR. About the 3rd meal I reminded my family that these meals were being paid from taking the surveys. My DD's are teenagers and not always eager to take the surveys when it asks for my 13 - 17 year old to take the survey but I think they will be a little more cooperative :)

Thanks SR for the opportunity to earn these!

Sounds like a great way to spend 10 days! It's so nice when you can hand over that gift card and know it isn't coming out of your checking account :sunshine2:

What a great way to conceptualize what all of that survey money results in!

Our last 2 trips I have taken down $1,000 in giftcards for just food and extra fun stuff. My kids know that I loosen my purse strings when I'm down there because it's "free" money that I have earned on here and I'm more willing to spend it over cash.

Kids "Mickey ice cream bar", Me "Sure!"
Kids "Dole whip", Me "why not?"
Kids "Mini-golf", Me "Go for it!"
Kids "Kitchen sink", Me "It's a must do!!"

Without SR, I wouldn't have been able to have so much fun with my family and pass on the magic of Disney to them.

Thank you so much SR!!:party:

I take $1000 in GC too but our conversation goes a little differently:

Husband "another glass of wine" Me "sure why not"
Husband "lets get a Margarita in Mexico" Me "I would love to"
Husband "lets eat at the Yachtsman Steakhouse" Me "Yes, I love filet mignon"

Eating and drinking around the world for free, nothing better than that! :D

That's awesome!! I agree that it is so much easier to agree to the little extras when you have SR gift cards to spend!

We were talking about a couple of Disney trip possibilities yesterday and Daniel piped up and said well if you do more surveys, maybe we can take both trips!;)

Have I mentioned that I adore your husband? ;)

My last 2 trips to Disney were with free dining, so I didn't use my SR for meals. But . . . my earnings did pay for my trip in December and for my Dooney and Bourke bag!

At the bottom of one of my receipts from the Starring Rolls cafe was a coupon for 20% off at some of the stores in the parks. I've been wanting this bag since it came out and when I walked in the store, I asked if I could use the 20% on the purse. I expected them to say no, but the answer was yes, so out came my SR Disney gift card and the purse was mine. I know I would never have bought this bag without SR!!

I LOVE that bag. I have free dining too on my upcoming trip. Have to rethink how I want to use my SR gift cards now after seeing that Dooney!:)

Watch those receipts! Don't know if they are still doing it, and I know I probably missed some and threw the receipts away, but by the end of the trip, I had quite a few and used each and every one!

Well ding dang! I didn't know to be looking for bonuses!! RAts! I also didn't know they gave a AAA discount at a lot of the places at DTDD...phooey! I guess it never hurts to ask ever, and silly me, I should've remembered that! :headache:
