Disney Visa Rewards Dollars?

[DISchick]

I'm sure it's been asked before, but indulge me please....

We have collected Disney Visa Rewards Dollars, redeemed them on Reward cards and would like to use them to pay for tips, appetizers, and fun beverages on our upcoming trip with the dining plan.
That's allowed, right?
Has anyone else done this? Will it be a problem?

I can't answer your question directly but I will tell you that I plan to charge all of those items to my room and then will pay the hotel bill with the rewards points. It just seems easier than dealing with so many different servers at the restaurants who may or may not know how to deal with the rewards card.

Hope this helps.

That makes total sense...also, if a charge gets mishandled in any way, the points won't be gone. I would imagine it would be hard to get them to recredit your card with points if there was a mistake. We've had the same meal charged twice to our room. One of the charges was removed when we questioned it, but I don't know how you would handle it if that happened with points.
Thanks for the advice...I hadn't thought of that.

You're welcome.

You can indeed use your DVRC for those items you mentioned anywhere on Disney property. We have used ours for all those things you mentioned, but have also done as the PP mentioned and put the charges on our room card which we later paid the balance of with our DVRC when checking out.

Thanks...I think that's what we'll do also. Do I just make sure to settle up the night before so that express check out won't charge the credit card we'll be required to tie to the room? How did you do this?

 

[Bama_C]

Yes, last year at POR we settled up the night before we checked out, so we would be free to just do express check out the next morning. They didn't charge our credit card at all... we just paid with the DVRC and that was that. Hope you have a great trip!

Sounds perfect! Thanks for the tips...we can't wait!
