$500 visa gift card

[honeymo78]

Has anyone who closed at the end of July gotten their card in the mail yet? Our guide said it took about 4-5 weeks from closing. I'm just wondering what everyone's wait time has been.

We closed July 11th and got our Gift Card Last week. We got a Fed Ex package with the gift card and then a seperate letter in the mail with our pin number.

We closed at the end of July and we are still waiting.

Thanks for the info rwars and danielle. It looks like they must not have been sent out for our closing date yet. We closed about 2 weeks after Rwars so I won't expect the card until next week or so.

Got my 2 $500 gift cards just the other day. I don't really know when the contract officially closed but I purchased on 8/2/08. Still waiting for the PIN letter to activate them though.

I'm also still waiting for my 500 Disney Visa Reward points from my 6/21/08 purchase which closed on 7/22/08. Hopefully it comes during my September cycle.

I called my guide to get my activate number....Then called the number on the back of the card...After spending several minutes putting in the account number and PIN several times I was instructed to call a different number...I called the number to speak to a human...Turned out I did not need that PIN...I was able to choose my own PIN...I was told my card is active now...

I am so sorry but I tossed the paper with the phone number to speak to a rep last night

So does that mean the cards are active upon receipt actually?

Hi ,
We have just decided to buy in with 160 points at AK. We want to get the $500 visa gift card but need a referral. Anyone out there willing to let us use your name & info? I understand there is a bonus that goes to the DVC member who lets us use them as a referal as well.
Thanks for any help.
C.

Hi there. I am also a mom of a Ryan. You can use me as a referral. My name is Denise Antoon. I just recently joined with 160 points as well. It is exciting and stressful at the same time. Have a great day.

no...you have to call

 

[tecodis]

no...you have to call

Ah...
Just got a letter in the mail informing me of my pin for one of my cards. I actually got two cards so I don't know which card this pin is for. Perhaps it is for both of them.

I believe it is the same pin for all...you select a new pin for your card when you call.

I purchased my DVC membership August 13 and just received my $500 gift card yesterday. I was rather surprised to get it so quick. Time for xmas shopping for the kids......

 

[delmar411]

we also 'received' our cards yesterday. I say 'received' because we missed Fed Ex literally by 30secs...he drove by us as we were pulling up to the house!

So we should have them in hand today. We bought on Aug 13th and although we weren't supposed to close until later this month, our acct shows they closed on this a few weeks ago.

I signed the papers at WDW on Aug 18. My guide called last week and told me the deal was closed and the deed recorded. And yesterday Fedex delivered the Visa gift card. Its not even a month yet! I was surprised it all happened so fast, but very, very happy. We will use the gift card to purchase new No-expiration Park Hoppers......
