College Kid using Rewards Card

[TTFNTigger]

Hello! My college kid is thinking of going to Disney Springs and possibly one park over Spring Break. We have a Disney Visa Rewards card. If I redeem some of our rewards points to the card, will they be able to use it even though it is registered to me?

yes they can

Technically the dollars are put on a "rewards card," but I would call it a "gift card." With that in mind, no one ever checks to see who bought a gift card. Whomever is holding the card can use it without any verification of ownership.

Thanks! It’s been several years since I last used one so I just wanted to double check.

Yep, it works just like a gift card.
My mom often gifts us her card to use on our trips if she has a lot of rewards stacked up she won't use.

Just remember that you can only ever have 2 reward cards issued to you at a time. Unlike a regular gift card, when he empties it, he should hold on to it and bring it back to you. If it's lost, you have to call them to have it removed from your account and get a replacement. When loading a new card there's a minimum amount but a card you already have can be reloaded with any amount you have access to.

You can also use the “rewards card” to purchase a regular Disney gift card on the ShopDisney website and give that to your kid. This way they don’t need to worry about returning the card to you after the trip.
