I remember reading about that on here once. I plan to use my rewards every year to pay my dues so after the initial purchase price it should theoretically costs us nothing for the room every year...if it works out right.
Rewards are turned into a gift card that times out. To me it doesn't matter what you spend the "rewards" on, money is money. I prefer programs that don't lock me into a company like Disney. Reward programs that pay cash are much more flexible.

It's not a one for one return is it? Unless it is how would it be free dues? If so I need to sign up for one!
Basically I have the premier rewards card so I earn about $750 or so a year in rewards, the maintenance fees are about that for the points I am looking at ... so you can use your rewards to pay the fees then?
I have the card also because we get 6 months 0% financing to pay for our trip each year, right now I use the rewards to pay for our park tickets each trip.

I have this card, but then after my first "redemption" and realized I have to call a # to get a card that I had to pick up at DTD to load the points that I can only use at Disney... sucks.
True, this can be done but it's still a hassle to wait for the card first vs immediate gratification/use of other reward cards.I have a Disney Rewards Visa and I have always ordered my redemption card online and had it sent to me in the mail. Yes, it must be used on a variety of Disney things, but it doesn't have to be used just in the parks.
I use the reward dollars to pay a portion of our annual dues. It is easy to order the redemption card online and to online transfer the reward dollars to it......(snip).......We also were considering paying our dues with our redemption card (not the Visa itself). For those that do this, do you use your redemption card or do buy Disney gift cards with your redemption card and use those?
If Target allows the purchase of "Entertainment Cards" under the December promo again I will associate my debit card with Target to get an extra 5% off the cards, and therefor, my dues .I have also purchased gift cards (at Target to get a 5% discount and/or to take advantage of any promotions) and applied those to our dues. I do not use the rewards card to purchase the gift cards.
You don't need a promo for this. the 5% discount with a Target RED Card already includes Entertainment Cards. So as long as you have a RED Card, you get Disney Gift Cards at 5% off.If Target allows the purchase of "Entertainment Cards" under the December promo again I will associate my debit card with Target to get an extra 5% off the cards, and therefor, my dues .
I know, but I'll wait for the December promo you mentioned to stock up. When I started buying the cards last year I didn't know I could/would buy so many so I just used my Disney Visa (racking up rewards dollars instead). I bought only a few hundred $$ worth of gift cards for our annual Dec trip the first week and then enough for our DVC dues the second week. The Target RED card would have saved me another $1.60 per gift card over using my Disney Visa.You don't need a promo for this. the 5% discount with a Target RED Card already includes Entertainment Cards.

Not sure what promo you meant, but the December promo I remember was the Friends and Family coupon that gave out $10 for every $50 purchase.
