disney reward card picture benefit

[sddis]

Do they check your account when you get the free picture at epcot from the disney card?

I got the Disney reward card so I can get the $200 gift card. I got the gift card and am considering consolidating my chase credit cards. I have the disney card, which is a platinum, and I have another card which is a Signature card. The signature card is better imo, so I was goign to call up chase and have them cancel the disney and increase my Signature card credit limit. Anyhow, I wouldn't throw away the card, I would keep it so I could get the free picture. But would they check if its an active card?

Regarding the other benefits of the card... my wife got one also for the $200 giftcard, so we would use that for any other benefits sucj as the 10% dining.

That would be dishonest. Why not wait until after your trip in order to cancel your Disney Visa card? Or just use your wife's card for the picture. You can use it every day for additional pictures if you want to.

Not sure the difference. If I keep it, I won't use it. So its the same as not having it. Anyhow, chase still gets my money from using my other chase card. So no one is losing out on anything.

I'd just cancel the card after your trip. But I do see what you're saying about remaining a chase customer.

Let's see...you're asking about using a benefit meant for active card members when you will no longer be a card member. It doesn't matter if you have other Chase cards. If you don't have an active Disney Visa, then you're not entitled to its benefits. That doesn't seem to be a difficult concept to grasp.

You, yourself, admitted that the other Chase card has better benefits and that's why you want to increase its credit limit while dumping the Disney Visa. The trade-off is that you lose the Disney card benefits. I have a Disney Visa that pretty much sits in a drawer because I have better benefits with other cards. I don't cancel it because I like some of its benefits and it costs me nothing to keep it (it's not a premier card). Your wife has her own Disney Visa. You can use it to get your free picture if it's that important to you.

If your card is not active, I would imagine that you would then have to pay for your pic when you go to complete the transaction at the Epcot photo shop. They ask for your Visa card and an I.D.

If you have two different accounts, you can get two free pictures. I have one with my son and then my own and we always get two pictures every time we go. They only check by looking at the credit card before you go into the room and they write down the last four numbers. They do not check to make sure the card is active. I do not use my card but will not cancel it since I like to get my free pictures.

Although it is unethical to do so, you could cheat Disney out of a picture. When I went with my active Disney Visa at Disneyland, the CM took my card and asked me a question like "what is your middle initial?". Something that was on the card that he could instantly validate. They don't have a card reader there to check whether you are a active member. However, if your card is expired, that might be a red flag.

Still, this "perk" is barely a perk. You go way out of your way to wait in a line to see a character you can see elsewhere. Then you have to go somewhere else to wait in a line to have them print out the picture. You are "paying" an hour of your vacation time in order to get the picture. I might not do it next time. My time is more valuable than that at Disney.

If it is important to you, canceling a credit card can lower your credit score.

Strange, but true.
