i got the disney credit card now what?!!

I transferred a balance to mine...like to switch things around to get 0% financing.

We use DH's own one to get disc. on disneyshopping & for all WDW travel expenses.

Have an AirTran card (thru Juniper) that I run monthly expenses thru for airline credits...think they have the most liberal plan in our market (1000 = 1 credit, need 8 credits for a 1 way voucher).

When I read this yesterday (the above posts about earning double points) I was thinking, are you sure? Because it doesn't seem like I'm earning double points for my purchases at Disney and I've used it to book my trip and pay it in full and several purchases here at The Disney Store and at their online shopping.

Maybe they used to offer double? Or it was a *promotion* at the time that person got their card?

All I know is we don't get double for our Disney purchases.

Maybe it's only vacation packages? :

DW uses hers a LOT and always as the charge card linked to our room. I'm 99% sure we don't get double points for our resort charges at WDW. The only "perk" we got was when we booked our vacation at DL using the card. There were vouchers for a free photo and possibly a longer grace period (we never carry a balance tho). Otherwise I don't think we ever received more than the 1% on purchases.

I'm more partial to my Citi Dividends card, as you get better than 1% back if you use it at gas stations, grocery stores, etc. When you redeem, you get a check that you can use for anything.

I use my points every year to buy my kids halloween costumes. The darn things are so expensive but I always use my points so they are FREE!!!! Gotta love that! If you are planning a trip and want to use your points in WDW, you need to request a rewards card before you go. You can do get one in Downtown Disney but it's a pain. Keep the rewards card and whenever you want your points transfered just give them a call! Very easy! I use my card for everything.

Booked my package last year using Disney Visa and the only thing I got was 6 months free financing. I use Citicard for grocery store, drug store, and gas station purchases, which had been giving 5% but will be going down to 2% next month. Anything else I put on Disney Visa such as the cable bill, car and homeowner's insurance, cell phone bill, and department store purchases. I make payments on both bills throughout the month and never carry a balance on either.

I have been a Disney Visa member since day 1. For our trip in 2004 we had $303 reward dollars and we had approx. $203 in 2005. So far this year we have $230 in Disney rewared dollars along with $243 cash back from Citicard!!
