Has anyone used the Disney vacation account?

I didn't even know this was available. It says you can put money into the account with a Disney gift card so I was thinking I could use the target redcard to get that discount and then use the Disney gift cards to put money into this account and get the $20 gift cards for every @$1000 in the savings. With the cost of our trip it will cost us $3000 so that is $60 extra. Would love to hear others experiences with this even if you didn't use the target card for the additional discount.

If the search function is working again take a look, there were a lot of complaints about that program.

I am currently using it but I haven't tried to withdraw funds yet. I have read on the boards that some people have had trouble using the accounts for vacations. however, you can just ask for a big gift card 4-6 weeks ahead of time. That's what I plan on doing. I've had a good experience thus far.

Hmm I though it said purchase of Disney gift cards were not a qualifying purchase to get the free gift cards. I'm going to have to go back and look.
