Can I use Rewards Card/Gift Card to pay?

[MissyDVC]

This will our first trip as DVC members. It our 15th Anniversary trip and will be staying at "home" in SSR. We are also booked for February '07 with the kiddies at VWL. I am considering getting the Dining Plan for both trips but wondered if we could use our Disney Rewards Card and Disney Gift Card we've been given to pay for the Dining Plan when we check-in? Also I have made a reservation at Alfredo's for our anniversary dinner and the Candlelight Processional already. If I add on the Dining Plan, can that be used on that meal? And do I have to call and say we are now on the Dining Plan? Thank you so much for any help Have a wonderfully magical day

Someone posted on the DVC board recently that they were not able to use the Disney gift card to pay for the dining plan. However, you can use your rewards card to pay.

We've used our rewards card twice now at checkin to pay for DDP. We are DVC also. Didn't have enough to pay for all of it so used Disney cc for balance. Don't know about the gift card.

We did Alfredo's on DDP in May & it was one TS.

Thank you both for your answers!

I was unable to use a Disney GC at the hotel for our trip in May, however the CMs seemed to think that they would be able to take them once "the computers were upgraded". Reports indicate that still hasn't happened. I was able to use my rewards card with no problems.

We used our Disney Rewards points to pay for the dining plan when we checked into BCV on 10/8. No problems. Felt like free dining all week!

Thank you, mom2alix and babmagirl for your replies! I just wanted to make sure it would work and we wouldn't start our trip off with an unpleasant surprise. So glad to hear I can use it Have a wonderfully magical day
