FTP is coming back baby!!

[harleyquinn]

Have you all seen this thread from the budget board?

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=507705

Apparently, there's a promotion for new Disney Visa Card members that looks strikenly familiar to the FTP, but you also get $100 Disney Dollars too!

Now I know I'm jumping the gun, but if they're going to offer this I can't believe they won't offer a similar deal for ALL Disney visa holders and/or the general public.

I'm really going on my honeymoon!!!

I'm copying this for all of you who will wants details without reading 4 pages of posts...

I also received this offer which states the following:

7-night Dream Maker Package for the non-discounted price of 4. Plus 100 Disney Dollars at check-in for new Disney's Visa Cardmembers!

Share all this with your family when you use your new Disney's Visa Card to purchase this package:

But the FTP was available to everyone.....not just Visa Holders

I read through the whole thread.

Someone posted that they called & spoke to a CM. CM told her this starts 2/15/03 for all Disney Visa holders. Someone else posted that it was only for "new" card holders.

I have the card. The only reason I got it was for "deals". So far, nothing in almost a year..... I just checked their web site, no offers. I too, got the mailing last night. Mine said nothing abt Resort offers.

Guess we'll see on the 15th!

 

[harleyquinn]

What I'm thinking is that they'll release the package a little early to the card holders so it will seem like a perk for the card. This will 1. make all of us card holders who have been waiting for a good deal happy and 2. make people want to get the card.

After a week or two they'll probably release it for everyone!

Crossing fingers!

Thanks Diane!!

I called and it's not extended to everyone and it's only to certain people who get the invitation in the mail. Not looking good I am one unhappy Disney person and even more upset with Disney Visa.

 

[Selket]

I think they'll eventually extend it to all Disney Visa card holders at least. Otherwise us card carrying DV folks will probably revolt! I hope they eventually extend it to everyone. I can't believe they'd just offer this to new applications. Thanks for the info!

 

[bugbugmom]

I just can't believe that they would offer the FTP to new Disney Visa holders only. I think (hope) that they offer it to new card holders 1st and then to loyal cardmembers a week or two later. Better yet, maybe they'll offer it to Day 1 cardholders without the $100 disney dollars. Who knows

I received an offer for the Disney Visa in the mail yesterday with the 7 days for the price of 4 offer, but it was good only for the moderates. It also said for 2 adults and 2 children.

Was this in with your monthly bill or did it come special in it's own letter? I'd love to get in on this! Here's to hoping we can get in on it.
I have DV ressies for June but this sound like a better deal. Thanks, YO

[EEyorelover22]

My DH received an application in his name (I have a card) and it had no deal in it either. It's a select group of individuals according to the person at Bank One who are receiving the application deal.

 

[Kaybee]

does anyone know if this is just for the moderates or does it include the deluxe hotels too? I would really consider getting the card for an offer like this one!! I want to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge but am holding out for a good price. I don't want to pay rack rate!!

 

[Scratch42]

At least you guys have the option of the Disney Visa Card. We cannot get one, and they have taken our beloved Disney Club too!

Let's hope they do offer it to the general public!

Fingers, Toes and Eyes Crossed!

[EEyorelover22]

From what I understand for now, just getting the card doesn't get you the deal. You have to have a special mailing that has the deal in it. That is a real bummer.

 

[HappyMommy2]

I got the offer in the mail but DH and I made a commitment when we first married 10 years ago that unless there's some earth-shattering emergency we will have only one credit card---EVER. So though it hurts to miss out on this deal (and occasionally that extra 10% off at the department store if I had a department store card), we're sticking to that commitment!

 

[kc&dmom]

So, even if we get this offer in the mail, our family doesn't fit their parameters. What does Disney have against families larger than 4?? ---- enough of us were put off by the last promotion of "Kids stay free" and complained --- so their next offer once again is targeted to families of 4. (Our family of 5 would like just a tad bit more elbow room that POR allows.) I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and keep hoping they expand this offer and make all our Disney dreams come true!!

 

[bethbuchall]

CoachYO--We don't have the Disney Visa (yet?), but I was mailed an offer yesterday. I thought that I kept it, but I can't find it at the moment. The one I had specifically said moderate resort and two adults, two children. We couldn't use the offer, because we are going in May but staying with my parents in their time share for the first week and then heading to the CR for 4 days. We can't possibly extend our time, since we are already taking the kids out of school. Also, we have 3 kids, so I don't know if they would let us pay more and still use the offer or not (assuming there is availability in the AB section of POR). If I find the offer, I will post exactly what it says.

[coachYO & my 3 girls]

Beth,
Does the offer apply only to you or could someone else use it? Let me know please. If you cannot use it I'd like to try if possible. Email if you can. I'm not sure how else to get hold of you.
Thanks, YO
