I have some Disney rewards that I would like to use towards the food and wine at Epcot next October. Can I use my Disney Rewards card for these purchases? Or will they only accept a Disney Gift Card? Is there any difference between the two? If so, can I purchase Disney Gift cards with my Disney Reward dollars through Disney.com?
 
I don't think they are treated any different but I do know that you can purchase gift cards with your disney rewards dollars.

There are few difference between the two cards.

1. The rewards card can be replaced if lost or stolen and reported to Disney Visa immediately. Gift cards cannot be replaced.

2. The rewards card has an expiration date which will be Dec. 31 of the year after you order it, so if you ordred one today, it would expire on Dec. 31, 2013. Gift cards have no expiration date.

3. You can add more rewards instantly to a rewards card. If you use all of your rewards to buy a gift card and then end up with more rewards mid trip, you would need to have your empty rewards card to add the rewards to OR go to guest relations to have one given to you.

Personally, I would stick with the rewards card and then if you have points left on it near the expiration date, THEN buy a gift card so you don't lose the rewards.
 
Great info! The rewards card does seem better. Will I be able to use it for the same purchases that accept a gift card? I'm thinking yes. Just want to make sure I can use it at the food and wine country food kiosks in Epcot!

You should be able to use it wherever they accept a Visa card or a gift card.:thumbsup2
 
Are you staying on property? You can just apply the Rewards or Gift cards toward your resort and use your resort card.
