Another way to get points for Disney Visa - Football tickets!

[ilovediznee]

My husband was filling out our ticket application last night to get our season football tickets for USC - University of South Carolina. The total with our and our friends is over $2000.00. I stopped cold in my tracks and said "do they take Visa?" He said yes but why would we do that! I said "I want the Disney points!" So we filled it out with my card and that will be 20 points!

Just wanted to share - Diane

If you have any other creative ways to get points, please share.

I was thinking the same thing..I've only started using my Disney Visa..and frankly I got it more for the room discounts being offered in advance to card holders. I was wondering however..if you could use the Disney Visa Card..to pay your mortgage..anyone ever done that? Our mortgage is not with Chase..but another bank. I wonder if it's possible..that would be a great way to accumulate points. Use the Visa to pay the mortgage..and then just put the payment to the Visa right away. Anybody??
I did just pay for our Disney Package at the WL for May..and figure then I can take those points with us for the trip..got it in right before the billing cycle ends, so it's available to me next month by the time we go. Since my son was going also..I put his package on my card..and he will reimburse me...so we could get more points. Accumulated quite a few points that way.
I think I would prefer to use it for big ticket items, as they are easier to keep track of..rather than little things..that could be forgotten about, resulting in a balance I wouldn't want to keep. That's just me though, some people may be better at keeping track than I would.

I put EVERYTHING on this card. From groceries to gas for the car!

Here are some of the things I do every month:
Gas for the car
Groceries
Montly electic bill
Cell phone
AOL - when I paid for it
Newspaper

Some of the big things I have done:
College tuition
Paid off DVC

These are all things I have the cash for but instead of paying in cash I put it on the card...got a TINY amount of interest for another month in the bank and paid it at the end of the month.

I am not sure how much I have cashed out for in the past few years but I am at over $350 for my July trip. My guess? Probably $1000 in the past 3 years...free money!

Tuition...! That's a good one..wish I had thought about it in January for our Spring trip...but good to keep in mind for the fall semester. As a matter of fact..I believe my daughter is taking a summer course. Thanks for the tip!

I'm a Hurricanes fan from Miami, I did the same.... racked up 30 easy points.

We have paid off our HIGH dental or doctor's bills with Disney Visa BEFORE insurance. Then we get a check from the medical facility for the insurance part.

I tried to put my mortgage on it, but the mortgage company said NO. My electric company will not allow it either. I do have my phone/satellite/internet bill, cell phone, and gas bill automatically taken out through my Visa.

I had a Pampered Chef party and put all the guests' orders on my Disney Visa and had them pay me cash. Not a ton, but it was another $5 for Disney!!
