Disappointment with Disney Visa

Be careful on the business purchases. Most of these reward cards prohibit accumulating points for business purchases. I got mine today and was just looking at the booklet. I use mine occasionally for business but scatter them around on different cards so it's not noticable (I have several cards that get rewards - AOL, Sears, HSN, AmEx).

It's not a corporation business. I work from home, so everything I spend out of my own pocket is part of the at home business of mine. (Office Max, supplies, etc.) Thanks for the concern though

actually, you're right. i forgot about that. it seems so long ago, i forgot i had the MKC briefly for a year before DC came out. grrrr... Disney had me thinking that DC was good. argh.

yeah, see how Disney is? if this keeps going the way it is, and we keep supporting these crappy offers, in a few years, they'll have come out with something even more pathetic... and people will be saying

"hey where can i write to complain about how lame _____ is, and how it's not an acceptable replacement for the Disney Visa card?"

*shudder* ugh.

disneyberry, you are too funny

Sorry for the sad reminder

I also don't really care what the card looks like, though the Universal card looks a liitle nicer. But I figure if I am paying the balance off every month, may as well get something for it. And put it towards something I like! As far as rewards, it is comparable to the Universal card, except you get points which come close in value to 1%.

Just a note about all the comparing to Discover ....

Remember Discover does not give you a flat 1% as folks seems to be implying - if you read the fine print they give you UP TO 1% depending on your spending level and activity.

So the Disney card is actually better for those who do not charge a lot.

Just a clarification and a little positive thought on the card that the evil empire just launched

I'm not disappointed, in part because I never expected the Disney Visa to replace Disney Club. I always thought it would be a typical reward card, and so it is.

How often I use the Disney VISA will depend on how the program develops. But if I only use it minimally it will still be better than my current non-reward VISA.

Got my Disney Visa in the mail today. I know I previously posted that I didn't really care how it looked, that I wasn't planning on mounting it on the wall to look at - I do have to say it sure is mighty cheap looking IMO. Oh well, guess it will charge just as well as any other card . I do plan on using the card, even though the 1% isn't much over a period of time I might save up enough points to get a Pooh bear.

Many co-branded cards have better point accumulation opportunities (L.L. Bean-free shipping & 3 points per dollar for LLB purchases-1pp$ for other purchases; Delta Optima-2mp$ for grocery stores, drug stores et al.; Amazon-3 pp$ for Amazon purchases; GM has already been mentioned) ranging in value from $.01 to $.05 per mile/point. The new Disney Visa has hinted at better point-earning programs in the future. So, if your credit report can handle another credit card and you pay off monthly, why not?
