All - I just found this from another thread - I thought I read most of the important facts about the Disney VISA, but I missed this one - apparently the rewards you earn are only good for 5 years (Like they will last that long in my account LOL) - But I thought I would post this onto this thread just in case someone is really trying to save those points!

Disney Visa Rewards Expire!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but Disney Rewards dollars for most of us will expire as of 12/04. If your rewards card has 12/2004 on it, all the reward dollars you've transferred are only good until December 31. You have to use them or you'll lose them!
The reward dollars are good for 5 years ONLY if you don't transfer them to the card, once they're on the card, they expire with the card.
This is the full text from the 'help' part of the website:

Reward Dollars Expiration
Your Disney Dream Reward DollarsSM are good for a full five years (60 billing cycles) from the time they're earned, while included in your Program Rewards Balance. There are no block-out dates. Please refer to the Guide to the Disney RewardsSM Program for complete program details, including Terms and Conditions.
Once reward dollars are transferred to your Disney RewardsSM Card, the reward dollars are available for redemption until the expiration date on the rewards card. Rewards cards, and the reward dollars remaining on them, expire December 31st of the year after the year when the card was first ordered. For example:
A card ordered October 1, 2003, will expire on December 2004.
A card ordered January 1, 2004, will expire on December 2005.
When the card expires, any remaining reward dollars on the card will be forfeited. You will then need to request a new card. Replacement cards are not automatically sent to you.
Once reward dollars have been transferred to a rewards card, you cannot transfer them back into your Program Rewards Balance. Therefore, we recommend that you transfer only the number of reward dollars you plan to redeem prior to the expiration date of the rewards card.

Looks like I'll be heading to the
Disney Store tonight to buy Disney dollars or a park hopper.
