Disney Visa

[carbur]

Received our card today and they did not have Concierge level at the Poly or the Contemporary for our dates at the Fairy Tale Package price.Cast member told us that she was not surprised that these resorts were not available. Told us that we could go to Boardwalk or Yacht Club concierge. Although regular rooms at the Poly were available with this special. Trying to figure out to what to do as far as staying at the Yacht Club Concierge or keep existing reservations at Poly Concierge . Any feed back would be helpful. Thanks!

Only you can decide but we stayed at YC Concierge last Fall and enjoyed it. We loved being close to Epcot, MGM and all the activities at the Boardwalk.

We could see Illuminations from our room and also liked the restaurants at the YC.

We also walked over to the ESPN club one night and all enjoyed dinner there.

What park do you want to be closest to?

Uggg... when were your dates for? We are getting DH's Disney Visa tomorrow (UPS) and I am hoping I can book Poly concierge for October. If not I guess I would go with Poly regular LV or GV if concierge is gone.

carbur,

Did you get a mailing with your Visa application for the discounted FTP?

I'm waiting on our card and am wondering if I may be eligible for the 7 for 4 deal. At the very least I hope to apply for the discounted room rates. We're traveling in early May and I applied for the Disney Visa by phone this past Sunday. The recording says we're approved, so I'm just waiting on the card.

I'd really like to get the 7 for 4 deal with the FTP since we need tickets and plan on doing the water parks & Disney Quest.

Is it worth just calling and asking if we're eligible for the FTP package once we receive our card? I guess you never know until you try.

Toots,
Did you ask them to send it to you UPS? It comes faster that way.

I just got approved today and I am eligible for the 7 for 4. Just call Disney Visa and ask them if you are eligible... I think all new card members are...

I would recommend that as well. Bank One will tell you. That way you can be confident when you call Disney too and say "call Bank One and check."

Received my Visa by UPS this afternoon. Just booked BCV 1bdrm for 6/5-6/12.

At first the CM told me that I was not on the mailer list, so he said I was not eligible. I replied with I just spoke with someone at BankOne and that he should contact them to verify it. Sure enough I was eligible. Yahoo!!!! It did take them over an hour for them to finally make my reservations, but it was well worth the wait. $1800 savings.

Just curious Carbur, what were your dates?

 

[Toots]

I just called Bank One, first they asked if I received a mailing, I said no, I applied over the phone with no mailing. Then I was put on hold and he returned and told me I wasn't eligible for the 4 for 7 since no solicitation from Bank One. Oh well.

I still hope to get the discounted room only rates.

I'm planning on making the most of our trip no matter. We have good rates off site for now and we've also reserved AAA rooms @ Port Orleans French Quarter. I hope to convert these to the Disney Visa rates once our card arrives .

The Bank One agent I spoke with said we should receive our cards soon, so I didn't push the UPS option.

Toots,
I would call again once you get your card. They told me any new card holders would qualify from 2/5-3/31. Can't hurt I guess.

Keep checking. Poly concierge might open back up. If not then YC concierge would also be heavenly. We stayed in a standard room there last year and really enjoyed the resort. And the location can't be beat!
