Disney Visa Rewards redemption question

[Mickey Fliers]

We have a ton of Rewards Dollars from our Chase Visa that we are going to redeem on our upcoming trip. I know that when I contact Chase, they send me an actual Debit like card with the rewards dollars attached.

Can I add that card to my Magic Band??

Rewards cards and gift cards can't be added to MDE at this time. You'll have to use it separately.

I didn't try adding to my MDE account, however I used the rewards card at the front desk to settle a portion of my bill, then charged the rest to my cc on account. HTH.

You can either carry it with you and use it to pay for food, souvineers, etc. in the parks, or charge everything to your room, and use the card to pay it off the night before you check out. We prefer the second option, just one less thing to carry with us. You do need to request it at least a month to 6 weeks in advance, as it takes a few weeks to process and be sent out to you. You can also redeem rewards at locations at WDW if you want all the reward dollars on it that you have earned up until the trip.

We had some money on our Disney rewards card so I called Disney to apply it to our balance due for the room rather than carry it with us.

We always book room-only, so if I remember correctly, I just apply it to the next nights room charge when I arrive. Cassie58 and Wood Nymph have good advice also. Also, if I'm going to use it for the MDE charges and the room is paid for, I would make sure to use it before and if you hit the maximum $ amount before the resort runs your CC to pay a balance during your stay.

We carried ours but that was because my parents have an AP so it was easiest to hand it to them so they could pay with it and get their merchandise discount and not have to settle up at the end with who bought what. As others said though, we could have charged things to the room and then used it to pay the charges.

I would never have guessed you could do that. This board is awesome, not sure how you go to Disney without this place.

We got our rewards card within a week. Also, once you have the card, keep it after you've depleted it. Future rewards redemptions will be loaded to that card.

And also, should you happen to forget to request or receive the card in time, you can go to any of the Guest Relations at the four parks or DTD/DS, and they can issue/reissue one there.

If you fly and have the premier Disney you can use your rewards dollars for airline tickets as well. Just buy your tickets for any airline and go online to redeem the dollars as a statement credit.

I logged into my MDE account and purchased park tickets using the rewards card. So I'm not sure if this is linking it to the account but t worked.

Also, you can also purchase airfare with rewards dollars if you use them prior to moving them to the card.

Thanks all for the help. We are staying on our DVC points and bought the military tickets. But, we have saved up a pretty large amount of points while living abroad was hoping to use them for dining, souvenirs, etc. I was also hoping to be able to just the use the MBs for purchases. I will take the advice to charge to the room and then use the rewards card to pay the balance.

Thanks again!
