A few questions about the Disney Visa and Disney gift card??

[SouthernBelle21]

I received a special offer for the Disney Visa that stated I would receive enough points to receive a $200 Disney gift card with my first purchase..

1. Is this legitimate?? lol. It's hard to believe!

2. If it is, and I apply for the card, do you think I will have enough time to redeem the points for a card by my trip at the end of September?

3. Can Disney gift cards be used to purchase food/drink at the Food and Wine Festival? This will be my first time attending the festival so I'm not quite sure if gift cards are accepted at the booths.


Thanks so much!!!

It is legit! AND it's an awesome deal!! My DH got the same offer- I already have a Disney Visa of my own. He got the rewards points credited within his first statement. Once the points are credited, your best bet, IMO, is to request a rewards card. I know they usually give a timeframe as to how long it takes to get, but I know the last time I requested one it came much faster. Once you have the rewards card you can move rewards dollars onto right from your account- you might need a 10 point minimum. I'd suggest applying ASAP if you're trying to get the points for September. I don't recall how long it took my DH to get his card. I know we plan to request our rewards card late august/early september so we'll have them for our DL trip at the end of september.
I believe that you can use the rewards cards at F&W. I know you can use them to get the prepaid cards that they had last year. You can use the rewards cards almost anywhere, and your receipts will have your balance listed too.
