So you can just write any amount on the tip and have it charged to you KTTW. I just don't wanna carry a ton of cash or extras. This will be our first trip and want it to be hassle free.
So you have to have cc on file but can pay off the balance charged to your room with gift cards? Is there a limit on how much can be charged to your room?
) but the CM had said no problem to the GC's before we put the CC on file.
wanted to report back with my experience at the POP on Oct 2:
when I checked in I asked if we could apply all our GC's and Rewards cards to the room account and the CM said no problem. they have a piece of paper that they track the each payment as she applied it to the account on the computer and then handed us all the cards back. If for some reason we had balance left over (ha!) if would be refunded back on one of the GC's. We did leave a CC on file so we could do the express checkout as I figured there'd be something we forgot about (and there was but it was nice leaving Disney with just a $60 charge for pictures
however, i found out that this year you can no longer charge the Food and Wine GC to your room account - it has to be cash or charge. So that killed our plan for convenience. that was part of the reason why we wanted to put all the little cards on the room account so we didn't have to keep pulling something out of our pockets to pay and risk dropping stuff. we planned to just charge the little wrist GC to the room but the CM's at the Festival Welcome center made it seem like it was a change for this year. hope they don't keep it.
Wait, can you explain that again, I'm trying to figure out what you mean? thanks
). I figure most TS meals tips will be at *least* a $20 tip (if it's more, I'll just add some cash).
)...is there anything that you CAN'T charge to your KTTW card? I wanted to wait to purchase MVMCP tickets once we arrive so that I can check the weather and wondered if those can be added to our KTTW card?
We are also planning to pay for EVERYTHING we charge to the KTTW card with various Disney GCs. So, if I am understanding this correctly...we need to give a CC for charging privileges, but can check the balance regularly and apply the GCs as needed to pay it off in order to avoid hitting the maximum balance ($500.00 on our last stay) allowed for charging and being declined while in the parks...as opposed to just handing over all GCs at check-in to essentially set up a "credit" for KTTW charging? I guess I don't mind giving the CC number even if we don't intend to use it, but would rather have all GCs applied to the account as a credit and not have them on us or in the room.
1. at POP on 10/2/11 we were able to put all our GC's on the room account at checkin which setup a credit that we worked off. if you put more credit on the account than you use, the balance would be refunded back to one of your GC's (per the front desk CM that checked us in).
Another general question regarding GC's...does anyone know of any Disney GCs that are NOT accepted for payment of your KTTW charges...I.E. Sam's Club, Wegmans, etc.?
2. So far as I know, as long as there are no restrictions mentioned on the card (like the free bonus cards that were only good for merchandise at disney store and disneystore.com), it doesn't matter where you got it, it's all the same and can be used to pay your room charges
Last GC related question (promise
3. So far as I know, tickets can be charged to your room account. The only thing we were denied charging to our room was the F&W wrist GC. I don't know if that goes for all GC purchases or just that special event one, but they would only take cash or credit card, no room charge to buy that GC. (we had them try anyway but it wouldn't go through as a room charge)
As you can tell, I haven't done the GC thing before!
