Gift Cards & Dues

[DisneyaholicRaquel]

Hello All-

Can you use gift cards (not the reward card) to pay for your dues? How many can you use? I accumulated just over $500 in gifts cards thru the Christmas season and was wondering if I can use them to pay some of my dues? It's about 7 or 8 cards....

Yes, you can, but you cannot do it online. Let the CM know that you have multiple gift cards and you'll just need to read off all the numbers on each card. It is a little tedious, but totally doable

so can I use Disney Reward dollars to pay my dues?

 

[palhockeymomof2]

thanks for asking this question i also didn't know you could use disney gift cards to pay dues...

Also, thanks.

I have about $600.00 in gift cards that I would love to use.

FYI, Giant Eagle Grocery store sells Disney gift cards. They look just like the ones I got at the Disney store. Giant Eagle gives fuel perks on gift card purchases. With gas prices going up, it would be a nice way to save a little.

Yeah, I have about $2800 in $50 gift cards to pay my dues. Winn Dixie had a great promo before Christmas......$45 for a $50 gift card. Plus the credit card I used pays double points at grocery stores. If I had just paid dues with my cc, all I would have gotten was regular points. This way I get 10% cash off my dues and double cc points.

But, I pity the poor CM I get when I call...........Laura

Yes, you certainly can!

If you are paying monthly, you can only use checking/saving acct. If you pay it all upfront, you can use credit cards, rewards cards and gift cards.

Wow good info - I usually purchase Disney Gifts Cards from our Scrip program to support our school - next year I will have to remember to do this!

wow...didn't know that

FYI-

I just used 9 gift cards to pay my dues. No problem at all...CM was really nice.

Also, you can pay your dues in advance as well and it shows up as a credit in your account, so if you buy/receive a couple of cards a month...you can call in and apply them immediately instead of waiting and paying your dues in one lump sum.

I'm sorry, I just want to make sure I understand this properly - if I want to have dues be paid monthly, it HAS to be paid using a checking/saving acct? I cannot pay monthly using gift cards?

 

[LauraLea]

That is correct.

I paid my dues using 18 different gift cards on the phone. It took a while, but I was able to do it.
