Disney Visa Rewards Card

[Millie12591]

I was wondering what exactly is the rewards card? Can I spend it anywhere when I go to WDW? I have my visa and I have points that I want to send in for the rewards card, but I'm a little confused as to what I can use the card on....in other words does it spend exactly the same as a giftcard, and can it be spent anywhere in the "World?"
It's late, I hope I'm making sense.

disneyrewards.com does a good job of explaining the "whats and wheres".

I'm sort of in the same boat, although I have been to the rewards site. From what I gather, the best way is to charge to your room, and then use the rewards card to pay room charges. A CM I spoke with suggested heading to the desk a day before checkout just to make sure my credit cards wasn't charged before I could use the rewards card.

We use our rewards card to pay the tips that aren't covered under the Dining Plan. Its great because The trip is paid in full when we get there. Meals are covered under the plan and the points we've accumulated cover the only expense we have! We use our card to purchase everything all year long and we pay off the balance in full every month so there are no finance charges, and we earn a lot of points!

I also have a question about the Disney Rewards from Chase. I read somewhere that you could get a redemption card at one (or maybe all ) of the parks. Does anyone know where? I thought it would be best to get it there since I am still earning more points and want as many as possible before we leave! Or maybe I should just order one now so I have it taken care of. Decisions, decisions.....

I couldn't seem to find the answer on their site. Can you get a rewards card while at Disney? I forgot that our current one expired and we will be there next week so it is too late to order one.

I can't find it one there website (I know it's on there somewhere). I know you can get it downtown disney somewhere and one other place, I just can't remember where.

We have used Disney Rewards several times at the World. When we first starting using them, we weren't sure if they would take the card everywhere so we asked. CM stated that they will take them anywhere they take credit cards: hotel, gift shops, table service locations, and quick service locations. The only place we could not use them was at the snack carts.

I am not big on credit cards, but I collect the point through out the year and then have them transfered to a reward card just before it is time to renew my annual pass, it makes me feel like I don't spend so much on my addiction.
