Wow, I'm jealous of all of you that are getting extra rewards dollars. This was my offer:

For now, we can offer you the alternative of applying for
this new product by calling the toll-free number on the
back of your card or by visiting our Web offering the $200
Disney Reward Dollars. If you are approved for this new
account, you would have the option to maintain both
accounts or close your current one and pay off that
balance over time.

I thought it might be tied to how much you've used the card, as I've barely touched mine; DH and I don't use credit cards all that often and we don't carry a balance. But DH just recently spent about $3k on his card and he got the same response.

I sent a reply email saying that while I appreciate the offer, I think it was an unfair one considering it would force me to take a hit on my credit score. Since DH and I were going to be refinancing our mortgage in the next couple of weeks, I didn't want anything to negatively affect that. I asked if there was anything else that could be done. We'll see.

I only recieved the $15 gift card when i signed up but i sent the email a few weeks back and they put the other 185 reward bucks in my account. With a trip planned for December that will sure help out. Thanks OP.

Ok - where is the web offer website?? We got an offering in the mail for the $150.00 rewards but obviously we would like to do the $200.00 one.

I have no idea. That's obviously why I was complaining; that the $200 was only offered to some people. You'd think they would have told me where to find it. Maybe try calling someone at Chase?

I sent an email and they basically said they would talk to the marketing dept. to see if there was anything tied to my name. Oh well, worth a shot. Hope others get a better response!

When I got mine I only got a $15 gift card for opening an account. I read on here about some getting $100 and I called and they credited me 85 reward points. Never hurts to ask...

 

[reagan75]

I just emailed so we will see what response I get. I got in on the $100 rewards and received that in the mail.

Thank you !!!!! I emailed yesterday. Dh and I each have accounts that we opened 3 years ago to pay for our Disney Vow Renewal for 27 people. I think we had something like $700 reward dollars that we used for our OOP meals that trip. We unfortunately are carrying a balance these days as I am going through cancer treatment but will be paying them both off soon.

DH and I are doing a cashless as possible end of chemo trip for my 42nd bday in October (before more surgeries later in the month). Between unused tix, our Give a Day tix, DVC points for lodging, reward tix for flights, food was our only expense. I was planning on asking for gift cards for my bday to help cover and our Disney rewards points for the rest.

They responded to my email this morning with how they valued us as customers and put an additional $50 reward dollars in each of our accounts!


Thank you so much to the op. You never know what you might get until you ask for it.

Life is good!!

Thank you!!!!
I JUST got my Visa card last week (8/28) with the $100 promotion. I just read this thread and sent Chase a message last night and they wrote to me this morning that they'd credit my account an additional $100 DRD!

I never thought to do this! Thanks!!

 

[MouseloverJD]

I e-maile yesterday and got a response today that they would give me $50 DRD on my next statement. Thanks again for posting.

DH and I are Charter Members (Since Day 1)...I metioned this to him and he emailed Chase last night to see what would happen.

This was the response we received this morning:

As your credit card company, we value your business. I
appreciate this opportunity to respond to your recent
inquiry concerning your Disney Rewards® Visa® account.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your concerns
regarding your eligibility in the Disney Rewards premium
offers. We do try to match the current offers within the
first three months of the time the account opens. The
sign up bonus offer is for new customers only.

As a gesture of our commitment to you as our customer I
have added an additional $100 Disney Dream Reward Dollars
to the account. You will see these on the next billing
statement.

It was a pleasure to assist you and have a magical day.
If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.

Thank you,

The $100 is already in our account!

I'm going to give this a shot as well.

I'm a charter member (or so my card says) and dont think I received ANYTHING as I converted another Chase card into a Disney Visa, many years ago.

Took me 2 mins to send the email and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask!

Congrats to all those that have had success on this!

As a long time lurker...(about 4 years I think)..I had to come out of hiding to thank you all! Hubby and I have had a Chase Disney Visa over 5 years. Use it a lot and never received anything when we enrolled or since! So I followed everyone's advice and sent an email to Chase service and voila! They emailed and posted $50 to my rewards account. Thank you guys so much..without you I wouldn't have known to ask! Truly it's a case of nothing ventured nothing gained. I have gotten so much from this board!

 

[Smile4Me]

Thanks for confidence to do this. I thought about it but then figured I was out of place but not really so. So I sent my email today!

 

[Leajess99]

I got the $50 as well. My sister signed up with the $200 and I was only offered the $100 yet we both got the same credit limit so I contacted them about that. The brat always gets the better end of the deal but hey, $50 is better than nothing

 

[TIAMOMMA]

Thank you OP, I figured I'd send an email this morning about this, I originally got a $25GC a few years ago, I only got $50.00 but hey, they really didn't need to give me anything, so I'm happy.

They were quick too! I emailed this morning and had the $50.00 posted to my reward dollars by lunch time!

 

[RedRosePrincess]

Did you use a specific "inquiry type" when you sent your message?

Thanks!

 

[DisneyForLife]

I just used the generic inquiry, can't remember exactly what it said.

I wrote yesterday morning at 9 stating I got the 100 dollar gift card and now I see that others were offered 200. I was very nice, not asking for anything, just stating a fact. At 1pm I checked my online account and there was an adjustment of 100 disney dollars added to my account. I think it is very nice of them to do this for everyone, they really do not have to.

 

[ICF]

still havent heard back.....although I sent it to the rewards department, perhaps that is the problem!?!?!?
