Can you buy a DVC contract with Discover Card?

Trying to figure out the smartest way to pay. We have 0% interest for 12 mos. on this card- We have the cash but would rather spread out payments and get 1% bonus.

We put our downpayment on our Visa (and got the bonus too).. I would just call them in advance and say 'hey, i'm going to be doing this in case you see this big charge coming across'

It's your credit card (and cash).. you can do with it what you want

What I mean is- Does Disney accept Discover cards as payment for contract. I saw an old thread (2003) that said they only accept Visa and MC- wondering if they now accept Discover.

Yes if they take Discover card? We are putting our SSR add-on on
our Disney Visa for the points which our guide is handling!!!

The best way is to call your guide and ask !!!!!!!!

FYI- my guide told me Visa, MC, & AMEX

I am almost positive that Disney does not accept Discover. I tried to use it to make my down payment for the bonus but no go!

I agree with others about using the Disney Visa. If you have the cash in hand and can pay of the card in full once the bill arrives, then go ahead and get the rewards dollars. On a new contract of 150 pts, that is $130 dollars. I know that you are in the process of crunching the numbers, so add this to the spread sheet!

Use the "best" c.c. that is right for your family.

I used my freq. flyer credit card..then paid it off when the bill came...gives me 1:1 ratio of $ to pts....and tons of pts for more free (ha, nothings free) flights.
I have a Disney c.c. and its cute...but I find it of little value for me..when I need to spend $100. for $1 back I use it only for the discounts @ WDW. Forget about carrying a balance @ about 17%

It's already in there! haha-. This brings Disney's price down- [essentially] by 1% versus resales- resale companies- as far as I know don't take CCs. Plus- there is an added bonus- we have a 0% for 12 mos card with a limit thatcould accomodate the whole contract- so spreading the payments over 12 mos. with no interest- allows me to earn interest (about 5%) on that money for a year. This is where my spreadsheets getreally complicated.

The card is not a Disney Visa- but it gives 1% back in rewards which can be used to buy Visa gift cards among other gcs.

No, most places do not take Discover. That 1% cash back comes from the EXTRA 1% they charge the merchant. Many have simply refused the extra fee and stopped taking it. I stopped taking it at all 3 of my restaurants for this very reason.

We were told "no" on using Discover Card.

i did use my disney visa for a small add-on and got the points on my card. this year at disney the children spent the points but we found very few shops that gave a discount for using the disney visa. only the world of disney at dtd. all of the shops in the parks stopped giving those discounts.

I know three little letters that could explain that but many would say I'm wrong. I will give you a hint. It starts with a D and ends with a P.
