Another Disney Visa question

[starwood]

From the brochure "A rewards certificate good at Walt Disney Wolrd Resort and Disney Cruise Lines available in denominations of 10 reward dollars". Anyone know if this is good for onboard charges or just on booking a cruise?

They really don't try very hard to explain what those reward certificates are good for. This is what I could find on the BankOne/Disney Website. Based on this, I might assume that you may use it as an onboard credit, but you should probably call them to make sure.

The use of the words "select merchandise" and "participating locations" is very suspect. Why do they have to be so secretive? Does it mean that I can't use them to pay for my "drink of the day" onboard ship? Is the "select" merchandise limited to the clearance shelf? Who are the "participating merchants" and why don't they identify themselves? Inquiring minds want to know. I find all this cryptic wording to be extremely frustrating and insulting to my intelligence. So far, I am not very impressed with this card.
