Does anyone use Disney's vacation savings plan?

[imadisneygirl]

A cast member recently told me of the disney owned site where you put in what trip you want to take, when you want to take it and how much you want to save. It then calculates how much you should save a month, I didn't really look at it much, but if anyone has used it.. It's not like a savings account right?

It's a non-interest bearing account, though you can receive Disney Gift Cards as a bonus for using it.

You'll be eligible for a $20 Disney Gift Card for every $1000 you spend on qualified vacation purchases with your Disney Vacation Account prior to December 31, 2015 (date subject to extension), up to a total maximum of $500 in Disney Gift Card(s) per household. Your Disney Vacation Account must be active for a minimum of 120 days at the time of spending in order to receive this Bonus. All accounts registered to the same address are considered part of the same household.

Qualified vacation purchases include vacation packages for the Walt Disney World Resort or the Disneyland Resort, theme park tickets, room stays, cruise fare, and vacations by Adventures By Disney. Purchases of Disney Gift Cards are not qualified vacation purchases for purposes of this Bonus program.

Request your Disney Gift Card(s) 4 to 6 weeks in advance of your vacation date to allow time for delivery to your mailing address.

Check out the thread about this on the budget board. The last post right now has a link to a previous thread where this account got panned for various reasons.
