Magic Band charging question

[EllyLovesDisney]

Hi everyone. We always give my kids Disney GCs to use for their souvenirs. Could they attach them to their magic bands to use for their own purchases?
TIA!

No. They can use the gift cards to apply towards their charges at the front desk of your onsite resort.

That’s what I thought. Thank you!

Nothing goes on the magic band.
Only a credit card can be linked to MDE to use for charging back to the room reservation.
You can use a gift card to pay off the balance at the front desk.
My opinion on this is just use the gift card at the time of the transaction.

You could also give the kids charging privileges and settle up at the hotel desk with the gift cards at the end of the day.
