AP voucher purchase with Disney Visa at TDS?

[Sunny37]

Probably a dumb question, but:

If I purchase my AP's at TDS will I receive vouchers or the real AP? Also, has anyone purchased AP's and been awarded triple rewards?

Thanks!

Hi, Sunny37!

If you buy at a Disney Store that is not at the Orlando airport, my understanding is that you get a voucher. When they had double Disney points a few months ago, we bought our AP's at the local Disney Store and were credited for double points on our next Rewards statement.

You get vouchers that are fairly large and they also give you a special sales slip with an 800 number to use to make priority seatings and to have in case the vouchers get mis-placed. My spouse also made a couple of copies of the backs of our vouchers...one to leave at home in a safe place and one to take with us in case something happened to the vouchers.

We bought ours at TDS right before our trip (when they had the double reward dollars from Visa) and they gave us vouchers. We activated them at MGm--no problems it when quick and smoothly.
Oh and we also got our DC discount!

I bought my vouchers at TDS also - while earning double points. I JUST got a thing in the mail yesterday saying that any purchase over $100 at TDS from December 1-24 with your Disney Visa will receive TRIPLE points! What a deal! Too bad I'll need my vouchers over Thanksgiving.

I was thinking the same thing. I bought my APs towards the end of September and got double points (this also gave me more than enough time to get the rewards card to use while I am at WDW). Triple points! That would be Awesome!

You might want to double check your mailer - mine says for every transaction of $50 or more.

Hopefully yours does too !

I cant find mine right now--just got it yesterday--but all my previous offers have been if I spent $100 or more. I have never rec'd a $50 or $75 dollar offer.

Is it also true that your AP year does not start until the first day you use your pass?

I am asking because we are planning a huge family trip (my family, DH's family etc) in 2006.

If I buy my voucher at TDS with my Disney Visa during the offering of the triple points, and use my Disney Club discount (which time is running out on), our vouchers will be good to trade in until 2006?

Sounds too good to be true. Triple points and DC discount. But if that is the case, I will find the $$$ to do this.

JCW, what you buy at the Disney Store is a voucher for an annual pass that you trade in at the parks for the actual annual pass ticket. This is when the annual pass actually starts (when you trade it in).

The only exception to this that I can remember is if you buy it at the Disney Store at the Orlando Airport...you don't get a voucher but the actual annual pass when you buy it there. We picked up our Annual passes this past summer and won't be activating them until our trip this December.

Make sure you keep the sales slip and special sales slip you get too because it has an 800 number on it to make hotel reservations, priority seatings or other tour reservations. We also always make a couple of copies of the back of the annual pass voucher and leave one at home and take one with us just in case something happens to the vouchers.

Hope this helps!

They send different offers to different people. Some get $50, some $75, some $100. Not sure how they decide who gets what.
