Disney Visa Rewards Question

[klwdisney]

I recently got a Disney Visa card to transfer the balance of another card I was trying to pay off. I have used it a few times for little things to earn rewards. I keep checking my account online and there are no rewards 'points' listed.

How do I start earning rewards points? Do I need to get the rewards card first? I'm confused!

Hi!

How long have you had your card? Your rewards dollars are awarded a day or two after your billing statement date. You will receive 1% of what the total of your bill is. Those rewards wil continue to accrue until you request a rewards card and have the rewards dollars transferred to it.

Also, you do know that you do not get rewards dollars on balance transfers, don't you?

I really like our Disney Visa.

That explains it! I haven't received a bill yet!! Ok so then I should just work on earning rewards and then request the rewards card a couple months before our trip?

I knew it didn't count on balance transfers, but I have been using it in the past few weeks for grocery shopping, drug store, etc.

Thanks so much!

Yep! But you don't have to order it that far before your trip. The card comes within a week or so. OR you can pick the card up and have the rewards dollars transferred to you at Guest Services at Disney.

I use my Disney Visa for everything that I can use a credit card for and just pretend that it is like a debit card - I subtract the amounts out of my checking. That way I use it for everything that I can, and don't get in over my head.

Also, since you have a transfer, your rewards dollars will NOT be awarded on your balance. It will be awarded on the total of your monthly purchases.

Hope that this helps!

Just a Tip.

They will apply any payment you make to the balance transfer first. So you will pay the higher interest rate (13% ??) on your purchases untill you get you balance transfer paid off. FYI
