Disney Visa Rewards Card Expiration Question

[Johnnie Fedora]

My rewards card has expired with an expiration date of 12/04. I have not received a new one. Do they automtically send you a new one, or do you just order a new one (with a new rewards number) on-line? I viewed my rewards balance, and have some to transfer before our upcoming trip. The website appears to give me the option to transfer rewards dollars to my expired card. I don't want to do that since it's expired, and I have not received a replacement card. If I order a new card, does the old card get removed from the "manage rewards" page on the website??

BTW, I don't know why the stupid RC has an expiration date, except to possibly rip-off the customer.

They will not automatically send you a replacement card. You will have to order a new one when you're ready.

I'm not sure if an expired card will get removed from the "manage rewards" page (it should) but if you order a new card, it does not automatically bump an old, unexpired card off that page.

Most credit card awards have some sort of expiration. The Disney rewards card has a quirky, hard-to-understand expiration policy but it basically isn't any different. If I were to order a Hyatt Gift Certificate from my Diner's Club Rewards catalogue, it also would have an expiration date.

My Manage Rewards page still has my 12/04 expired card on it as well as my new one. I am even more paranoid than usual when I transfer Reward $ to a card because I have to make doubly sure it's the right one!

But yes, you will need to order a new Rewards card.
