Chase Visa benefits?

[Adrieske]

Can someone tell me what the benefits are for having the Chase Disney Visa? It seems like I saw that the special m&g is no more. Any tips?

 

[akhenaten]

I still see the character meet and greet listed on the chase disney visa page as a benefit. Where did you hear it was not happening any longer? https://disneyrewards.com/vacation-perks/

i too would like to know where you heard about the meet n greet being no more.

its still in innoventions west at epcot and california adventure at DLR as far as i know.

you also get benefits like 0% apr financing for 6 months if you book a vacation package, 10% off purchases of $50+ at a number of shops and the disney store, discounts at some disney restaurants, access to some discounts prior to general public (for example disney visa card members could book the discounts that just came out 3 days prior to general public), you earn disney dream reward dollars which you can then put on a redemption card which i like to use for souvenirs and food....

I just did it so it's still there right now

The rumor is they're going to add a new Chase Visa M&G (in addition or in place of, I don't know) with a SW character once the new Launch Bay opens at HS. So that benefit doesn't appear to be going away.

Not a rumor.

The Meet and Greet is still there. We saw it last Friday, but the line was too long for us.

I think this may be just for Food & Wine but they also had a special Chase card holder section for viewing Illuminations. It was between America and Italy. All you had to do was show your card, and they let you in. We were able to stroll up about 10 minutes before the show on a Friday and get right in and had a very good view.

Will the Star Wars meet and greet only apply to the Star Wars cards? Since those have an annual fee, I could see it being restricted to just those.

There are no longer separate card desgins for the Premier (annual fee) and no-annual fee Disney Visa Cards.

Both M&Gs will be available to all Disney Visa Card holders (regardless of card design).

Good to know. We have Disney debit cards and were told that the Star Wars designs were not available for debit. Hopefully that will change at some point.

I'm not giving up my Dalmations debit card, but we also have the credit card so I was able to get a Star Wars design.

Anyone heard if this is being offered this year for F&W? Or anything special at all for Disney Visa cardholders?

I have a Disney Visa Card and I frankly don't like it compared to my other ones. I prefer the Capital One Venture card for faster reward accruals, but the Disney Visa is good for the 0% financing on vacation packages for six months. I also find that my Disney Visa interest rate is higher than my other cards. And as an FYI, I believe if you want to redeem the 10% off $50 at WDW, you need to carry the card with you and pay with the card. It can't just be linked to your band.

 

[china mom]

Correct. you do have to carry and show the card to get the discount but (ymmv) at least once, I displayed the card to get the discount and then used cash for my purchase.

I have heard there is a private lounge in EPCOT. Any truth to this?

During Food & Wine there's a lounge above the American Adventure. It had a CRAZY long line last week, but we visited it last year and it was nice. Air conditioned, free soda machines, cash bar, video games....

Did you just have to show your Disney Visa to get in? or did you need to register somewhere for access to the lounge?

Show your Visa. It's really not all that exclusive, but it is a nice benefit.

Yes, I was referring to this year's F&W. We were there on the first day, September 25th and it was offered.

I have a Disney for the first time and a coworker told me an additional perk is printing two photos a day from kodak in Epcot? has anyone heard that? if so is it only in Epcot?
