Disney VISA Card

[Disneynut4ever]

Why type of discounts are available if we have a VISA?

The only thing I know about is the 10% discount at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney. I forgot about it until I checked out and went to pay. Luckily, I paid with my Disney Visa. What a nice surprise!

I am really disappointed with my Disney Visa. It seems as if there are numerous discounts for DL, but not WDW. The only one I know of is the 10% discount at WoD store in DTD.

The character meet and great is in epcot innoventions and is for disney visa holders. You have an individual character greeting with two characters (we ahd Mickey and Pluto) and you can get autographs and then they take pictures and youget a coupon to receive one 5X7 at the camera center near SE. Our was great and its on our mantel.

Now, the thing that many are missing is the disney rewards you get when you use the card. We have used the rewards points for 2 nights @ Poly on concierge last year and this year we had $500 to use for souvenirs/dining this past xmas trip. We use our card for most monthly expenses and pay it off in full each month...You accrue those rewards very quickly and it makes a real contribution to you next WDW visit.

How many points can you accrue? Is it one reward point for every dollar you spend -- so if you spend $1,000, you get 1000 reward points?

 

[LoveMyBoys]

no, its more like 1 point for every $100 you spend.

I just got a survey from Disney Visa today (got a brief second of excitement when I thought it was the infamous code email. D'oh!) asking me to rate the "rewards" the card offered. Basically I scored them rather low. There used to be a discount for trips at one time which they don't have any more and I think just having a 10% off of the Disney store is lame. I just feel like my expectations with the card have not been met. All of the fun park perks are gone and I never had a chance to take advantage of them. I want vacation discounts back.

sorry....the free character picture at Epcot is no longer available. It ended at the end of september I always got the free picture and the characters rotated so it was always a surprise as to who was behind the curtain when you came in. Maybe they will offer something else soon... I do agree that when the card was first introduced there were many WDW perks but now ther is nothing much.

I have the Visa as well.
You can save your points for 5 years, and our next trip is 2009 and then again in 2010. I got the Visa just to save the points. I, like a previous poster, use it to pay monthly bills and pay it off immediately. For us, it's like getting free goodies because we are not paying interest for anything. It takes a good deal of restraint to not go crazy with it though.
I am hoping using the points will help our family stay Poly Concierge for our 2010 trip.

I have a disney visa and have noticed that there are no special offers listed anymore on the website. There use to be categories, such as "Disneyland Offers", "DisneyWorld Offers", "merchandise offers", etc. Has anyone else noticed this also?

Yes, I noticed that. Hopefully they will be putting some new one up soon....

I'm sorry, but this is false. We were there on New Years Eve and the characters were still there. They keep extending the program because it's one of their more popular ones. As I'm sure you can tell, the picture in my signature is the one from that meeting.

 

[luvfigment]

I noticed the same thing and was upset that they didn't have it anymore.

We did the free picture on 12/27/06 and have the picture on our mantel to prove it. It did not seem to be ending, but I didn't ask. You can get one each day if you wish.
