Disney Visa card reward points?

[mamapooh]

Can someone give me details about points earned and what you can do with them when you make purchases with a Disney Visa card? I read about earning double and triple points at the Disney store when purchasing an AP and want to know if it's worth applying for the card before I do. Thanks for any help.

You get 1 reward point for every 100 dollars spent, so it's a 1% reward. Occasionally they do have offers for double or triple points for spending at the Disney Store. I bought park hoppers and disney dollars for my last trip when they were offering the double points. I think they round your total points down for the reward, so if you charge $588, you only get 5 points. The reward points can be spent at Disney parks, restaurants, resorts, Disney Stores, and on some more things. Once you build up a certain number of points, you can order a reward card, then as you earn more points, they can be downloaded to that same card. I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting, but it's late, and I just returned from seeing the Lion King. I was able to get tickets before they were released to the general public because I have a Disney Visa - a very nice perk too.

We used our Visa for EVERYTHING before our trip and had about 300 points to use. They worked out great! I put some directly on the room and we used them by using our room key to charge things in the park. Then I kept some seperate for each of my kids to spend. The stores took them with no problem. They were really one of the best rewards that we have had from a credit card. We have tons of airline miles but those flights never seem to be available. I would only suggest this if you want a card to pay off monthly as the rates are high. Enjoy your trip!

Actually if you charge over fifty they round up! So $588 would give you six disney reward dollars. $549 would give you five disney reward dollars.

Hope this helps.
