Okay, I'm gonna ask a dumb question here.

Do you have to transfer your bank account to a Chase bank? Or does this come directly out of your existing bank account?

 

[k5jm]

You have to get a chase checking account.

Just so everyone is aware, this card does NOT earn reward dollars. The credit cards do, but not the debit card.

I've had one of these for years. I wonder what the difference is? I don't think I got all of the perks like the Credit Card. I wonder if I need to get a new Debit Card, or if the old one will just become this automatically?

Sayhello

In terms of perks, I don't see anything different here when compared to the regular Disney VISA.

Tobi, the credit card has all of those perks plus you earn reward dollars. If you haven't used them, that's on you.

No, no, Nikki. I have both the Credit Card *and* the Debit card. I've used the Credit Card EXTENSIVELY, and have used all the Perks at the park, and paid for a chunk of several vacations with the Reward Dollars. It was the Debit Card that didn't have the Perks. But, when I first got it, you *did* get Reward dollars (but at half the rate of the Credit Card). I just spent an agonizing ten minutes on the phone with a rep from Chase, and I think that's what is "New" -- that the Debit Card *does* now get the Perks. (Although, as smitch425 said, not the Rewards Dollars any more). The laws surrounding charges for Debit transactions have changed, so hardly any banks offer Rewards for Debit Cards any more.

I wonder if this means I could get 2 character photos now? One with the Credit Card and one with the Debit Card? I don't see why not... it's 2 different accounts.

-- 10% off select dining locations at Walt Disney World(R) and Disneyland(R) Resorts (meal period restrictions may apply)

What are the select locations?


Is this a benefit also for the credit card and I didn't realize?

This is what it says on Chase's site for the Debit Card:

Receive 10% off at select dining locations below:

• Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge: Sanaa (Lunch)
• Disney's Contemporary Resort: The Wave (Breakfast and Lunch)
• Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground: Trail's End Restaurant (Breakfast and Lunch)
• Disney's Old Key West Resort: Olivia's Café (Breakfast and Lunch)
• Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa: Turf Club (Lunch)
• Disney's Wilderness Lodge: Whispering Canyon Café (Lunch)
• Disney's Yacht Club Resort: Captain's Grill (Breakfast and Lunch)
• Downtown Disney® Area: Cap'n Jack's (Lunch)

Subject to restaurant operating hours and closures.

• What to do: Use your valid Disney's Visa® Debit Card and mention this offer to receive the discount.

I checked Chase's site, and the dining discount is not a Perk for the Credit Card. So it looks like that's something that's exclusive to the Debit Card (at least for now).

I noticed that, too, and it is not listed on the credit card site for either the regular DV or the Premier card. Hopefully they will add it to the credit cards as well, but since I am getting rewards for all of my purchases, I will live if I don't get that 10% off.

 

[MrSanderz27]

It seems that the 10% off on merchandise and select dining in the park offers say that you must mention the offer when using your card...

Has anyone taken advantage of these discount, how did it work? Do you really have to mention the 10% discount and show your Disney visa credit/debit card? Did the cast member know what to do in order to provide the discount? Or do you just use the card and the 10% comes off on your statement/account?

Thanks in advance!

Looking forward to hopefully setting up one of these before leaving on our trip

I got one primarily for the photo op in Epcot and for our trip to Disneyland in April. I already have a WDW AP and TIW so I use those for my WDW discounts, but with the debit card (which cost me nothing, I already have my account at Chase so why not have one with the beautiful castle on it?!) I can *hopefully* add in a few more perks for no added cost. I would LOVE to have the Disney Visa but DH really insists on keeping only two cards, both airline mile cards so I'm out of luck on that one...

Either way I my new card!
