Disney Rewards Card

[Family24]

Does anyone know if you can use Disney Reward Cards for the BBB at the Magic Kingdom. Also, I know you can use it for food, but can you use it to purchase drinks (alcoholic).

Anything you can purchase on WDW property you can use your Disney Visa rewards card just like any other form of payment. And whats really nice is that the cashier also prints out at the time of purchase what your remaining balance is, so no quessing! And when you get to the point when you've used up almost all the funds loaded on the card you can pay the difference with cash, ect. so that you can end up with a zero balance. I find the card easy to use. Hope this helps and have a great trip!

what i'm planning to do next week when we're in disney, is if there are any remaining points on my visa rewards card (imagine that!) i'm going to have them transferred onto a disney gift card (will buy a GC close to the balance amount and pay the difference over) - my rewards card expires in december, but the GC won't - heard that tip here on the boards! (that way i won't lose any rewards points by not using the card before i leave disney)

I am so glad I read this thread! I just ordered our reward card. I would have totally forgot about it for our upcoming trip.

I have never thought of this! Great tip! Where do you buy the GC's at?

Hmmm, good tip, but one I'll never need to use. Sadly, my balance is always zero long before I leave WDW. I managed to deplete my balance significantly by buying two annual passes earlier this week. The cost of my FW campsite will eat up the rest of it. Guess I'll be charging everything else on my Disney Visa and earning some new rewards points!

Do you have to use your points every year? Or do they keep rolling over?

It'll be 2 years before my next Disney trip, but I'm thinking about getting a Disney Visa and earning some rewards points durring the next 2 years

How do points expire?

 

[kevjencal]

Your points will roll over as long as you do not transfer them to a rewards card. A low amount will expire after a few years if not used. That amount will be indicated on your statement. We have been saving for over three years and have accumulated $2465.00 in reward dollars. The most reward dollars that can be earned in a calendar year is $750.00. Once transfered, reward dollars unused will expire at the end of the following year.
It's been a great vacation saver for us. Most important, pay off the balance due every month.

Thanks for the info.... I"m going to get a card this weekend

I used my points about two weeks ago at BBB in the MK. Notta problem!!!

I thought it was great that I had enough to cover two girls there, let alone hear how many other people have earned!!!

Thanks everyone. Looks like you can use it almost everywhere in disney.
