It is safe either way. Make sure you go to https://www.disneygiftcard.com/ and that you see that s after the http.Does anyone know if it's safer to check the Disney gift card balances on the phone rather than on their website?
You can still transfer them to a physical card; I also got DisneyGCs from Costco and that’s what I did. I’ve also bought e-cards from target when there’s been coupons/specials and then immediately transferred them as well to a physical card and then I immediately delete all the cards from my account again. However, the response above yours makes me nervous that maybe that’s not enough? I guess I’ll have to hope for the best!This is a bit of a tangent, but this makes me nervous about the discounted cards I bought through Costco. They are electronic. I printed them but have no immediate plans to use them. Should I (or is there even a way to) consolidate them into an account? Or is there some way to protect them?
For the sake of a full DP, where did you buy the gc that was hacked (this would be the one spent at Disneyland)?Per the advice here on the DIS, I have always been very careful to add gift cards to my account, combine the balances, and then immediately delete all cards from the GC website. I was just thinking about our upcoming trip and how much I currently have in gift cards. I checked my spreadsheet amount and then logged in to check the balance to ensure that they matched. The day after I combined the latest two cards, the full $230 balance was spent in a single transaction simply marked ‘Disneyland’. I of course sent a message to the GC people through the website, but know that those funds will never be recovered. I am fully done with Disney GCs now. I am convinced it is an inside job.
