Cashout question:

[DisneyMa]

Okay all you Sunshine gurus! I have a question.

I have enough to cash out for a $25 Disney GC.
I have about $12 pending (said to be released on 9/15)
I will be going to Disneyland the first week of October.

Question:
Should I cash out a gift card now and call myself done for this trip?
Or
Should I wait until 9/15, and cash out for a higher card?

Free Disney money is free money, so it will be spent

I was just wondering mailing timeframes. I think I read the GC are mailed on the 15th of the month, so if I waited for September's pending money, the GC would not be mailed until October 15th, right?

Am I right? Which way is better?
Thanks for any help/advice.

How close will the $12 bring you? Like if you have $28 in your account now, I'd cash out now, but if you have $40 in your account I'd wait until 9/15. JMO.
ETA: Tricia mails out gift cards about 2 weeks after you cash out, and generally if you note you have a trip she tries to get it out to you in a timely manner.

I'd cash out for $25 now and then keep working towards another $25 card for when your pending is released on the 15th of Sept. If you tell Tricia when your trip is she can try her best to get that card out asap once you cash out. I don't think there is any difference between cashing out for $25 and $50 unless you are doing Disney Dollars.

Thanks! That's kinda what I needed to know. I heard there are (sometimes) special cashouts. So, I didn't want to miss out on any chance to get a deal

That $12 will bring me 1/2 way to another $25 GC, unless I do some extra shopping or offers. Currently I only count on doing surveys. That way anything extra is just that, extra.

Thanks for your help

Oh good gosh. Where are you supposed to note that? Maybe she has noticed me talking about Disneyland in September everywhere and just knows that I need my GC soon (DL on 17th, but leaving town on the 11th!).

Tricia ,if you're reading this, if you haven't already done so, can you be sure to get my last GC out? And pin I redeemed for? Pretty please?


To the OP...i'm not sure how to answer you, since I would go back and forth as well!

I would cashout now and then again once you get your next $25! JMHO. Better to know you will have this in time, and if your short the 50 then you would have just got a 25 anyways!

BTW i to cashed out for a Disney GC and pin!!! on monday hope it gets here soon, i leave in 8 days!!! WOOT!

I think the next one will be after your trip but you can start saving for your next trip

Have you been doing the freebie offers? I've had luck with quite a few lately.

I mailed everything that was cashed out through the morning of the 22nd yesterday morning. Molly--your 18th cash out was in there, and Bryan, your 20th cashout was in there. Both of those should arrive for you as early as tomorrow or as late as Monday.

Cindy mails the pins from Florida, and I think she mails them out almost daily.
