Double Disney Dream Reward Dollars for a year

[piglet33]

My letter said to use it for dining, utilities, gas, etc. and spend of $100 a month and get double points.

The last promotion I had to spend over $550 for double points.

I really makes you wonder who comes up with who has to spend what to get these.

I didn't receive a postcard in the mail, but this thread prompted me to log into my account and check out the current offers on my card. Turns out I have the same offer - but I have to spend $800.

Thanks!

Does anyone know the website to check for rewards, etc. I lost all my bookmarks on my computer and can't remember what the Disney Visa website is. Thanks!

I HATE DISNEY VISA!!

That being said. I didn't received the other offer from April till June, and I didn't received this offer either. So I wrote Bank one a very nasty letter letting them know how I feel about the selected offers to curtain people. It's just not right. I let the first offer slide hoping that I would get the next offer. I wonder if they will respond to my email. I hope so.

Thanks for letting my vent

Just checked the web site and i also have to spend $2300.00 on utilities, video rentals, groceries,gas etc. but its says i will earn 2% in DRD for every dollar over what i spend...and something about in a calendar month....I already have over $315.00 in D Reward Dollars on my card....I am also ready to STOP using this card,last time i didnt get offered anything....I will go back and read again just to aggravated .....

I'd have to spend over $650 per month to qualify. I suspect they're looking at spending patterns, averages, etc. to come up with the amount by cardholder. I charged the kid's tuition twice over the past year so it really drives up the level.

Thanks for the heads up! I just checked and I only have to spend $150 to get the double rewards! I also had the double offer that just expired yesterday. I spent all the rewards I had while at WDW last month and earned some more but I agree the interest rate and terms are lousy. That's why I'm paying it off rather than carrying a balance!

One thing I noticed is that, while I have used my Disney Visa for bigger purchases, I never used it for day to day stuff. I just use my check card for that. So, I am wondering if this new offer is a way to get people to use the Disney Visa for everyday purchases like groceries and utilities??

After I got the offer, I immediately changed our cell phone bill to be automatically charged to the DV. I also changed our phone bill to be auto charged to the DV. I also have a Speedpass for gas at Mobil stations and I changed the Credit card that is linked to that to be the DV. My mother lives with us and usually does the grocery shopping for the house but she currently uses our check card, now I am going to give her my DHs DV. So basically, I am going to switch to buying all these everyday items with our DV. Good for them, good for us. I also usually check the DV website everyday and apply a payment online at least once per week to avoid carrying a balance.

I never received a post card but this time I am eligible for the promotion if I spend $150 month. Last time when I called I was told that I would receive double points from April-June and never mentioned a spending limit so we will wait and see. I hope so since I just paid off my cruise and bought my airline tickets.

I logged onto my account and to my DH's account. We both have the offer but there is no amount listed as to what we have to spend before we get the 2%. Does that mean that when I make those specific purchases it will ALL count for the 2%? These get more and more confusing.

 

[momoftwins]

where the offer is listed on the site? I went to the "Other Exciting Offers" and the only thing I had was that if Family Members signed up, they would get $50 Disney Dollars.

I NEVER, NEVER get any offers! Ugh!

I receive a letter with this offer. We have to spend $800 and I wasn't incredible surprised but that.

I'm sure they use things like this to get people to use their card more. There is probably an equation based on your regular spending that determine what threshold you have to meet before receiving the double rewards.

I wouldn't get upset if you did not get the reward this time around. A few months ago there was some kind of reward for using your card for regular purchase (grocerys, gas, etc). My parents received this offer but we did not and I figured that was because we already use our card for everything that we used to use our check card for.

Moral of the story, don't get upset if you didn't get this offer... it may be in the mail today or you might be in the running for an even better offer that they will have in a month or two.

The only thing I charged off of this year on my card was our April trip for $1336. I use my ChaseVisa because we get cash back. I would, however, use my Dis Visa if I could get double the rewards for my April trip.

Oh - I am just having a pity party, I did not get the last offer either.

They say for things like Video rentals, groceries, etc. Yet they code my Blockbuster sales as (other) my groceries as (other) paying a utility bill online as (other) so I guess it wouldn't make a bit of difference if I had gotten the offer or not. Even if I put $3000 a month on the card, it is never going to be coded as anything but (other.)

I had the $850 threshhold for all purchases March through June. Now I have the $150 threshhold on groceries, household expenses, entertainment.

I'd say it's definitely based upon spending habits. I heated that card up in the last few months on big ticket items, but NEVER use it for the items listed above (everyday stuff).

If you don't get the postcard, go online or call!!! I never got the postcard for the last one, and wouldn't have known at all if it weren't for you great DIS people.

 

[kmermaid]

So if its coded on your bill as "other" it doesn't count? Man! My whole bill is other except my wireless phone bill!! Oh and by the way my amount I have to spend is $2300.00!! What a rip off!

 

[zurgswife]

mine was $350....but my amex was anything for a month double points....and I happen to be going to disney for that month...I will definately be using my amex not my disney visa

 

[crazy4wdw]

I checked the Disney Visa site and I do not have to charge a minimum amount in order to receive the 2%.

I don't know how this happened!
