Disney rewards buying Gift card with Disney Visa?

[dkis4nu]

Going on the April 20th Fantasy & want to puchase Disney gift cards for the trip. I would like to know if I can earn Disney Rewards when purchasing Disney gift cards with my Disney Visa. I can’t seem to find the definitive answer anywhere. I called Disney Visa & she couldn’t find the answer & finally came up with, “it would count as a cash advance”. What??! I don’t think that is correct. I did learn that you only earn the 1% instead of 2% at Sam’s or Costco, though.
Does anyone know the anwer?

Buying gift cards are no different than purchasing general merchandise. It depends on the type of store as to the points. Sams and Costco are probably considered grocery stores, which get you the 2 points and they are normally slightly discounted, the same at BJ's. We normally get them at Kroger when they have the 4 times the gas points, best of both worlds. You could also order the digital version at Shop Disney and get the 2 points.

Sams, and Costco are NOT considered grocery stores; they are warehouse stores.

You aren't going going to save much buying Disney gift cards with the Disney Visa, unless you find a store offering a great deal. A good one is to use Target's 5% RedCard discount; you won't get any Disney rewards, but the 5% discount is better than the 1% reward the Disney Visa offers.

Yes, you can use the Disney Visa to buy Disney gift cards and you will earn rewards on that purchase. If you have a premier card then how much rewards you earn depends on the store where you purchase the gift cards.

Thank you- that’s what I needed to know. I will buy them at Sam’s & get their discount, but only the Disney Visa 1% reward instead of 2%- but it’s worth it for their discounted gift card price.
