Anyone use their points at Disney? If charge everything to the room, I heard it goes through as a travel expense. Thanks for any heads up!

I saw someone else mention this card and I signed up just now. We do not have any credit cards this is a first we pay everything from checking but this sounded too good because we get 400 for our trip. I will be following this thread.

Just read about someone who did that, and she said it worked. Charged everything to her room, including her park tickets, and it was categorized as a travel expense.

Oh good. This is a better deal overall than Disney card and a great overall travel card.

The good thing about this card is that you can use the 40000 sign on bonus before your statement closing. This is better than the southwest card.

I got my card about three weeks ago.

Made some big travel purchases about 10 days ago. Got 10k points + 40k bonus.

Over last weekend, I applied the 50K points to my account before statement closing, so my bill is instantly $500 smaller. I also got 5k back because I redeemed my points in travel category.

I know that undercover tourist will code as a travel expense. Not sure about other operators.
