Multiple credit cards ?

[jamstew]

My cousins and I are taking a trip next fall. They will be named on my reservation, and I like having my CC linked to my room key. My question is whether they can link their individual CCs to their keys. We'll all be in the same unit.

No, there will be a single card for the room charging privileges. Since each card is uniquely numbered, they can sort out the charges made by each member of your group and then the final payment may be made on different cards. Either that or you can only allow charging privileges on your own card(s) and they can just use their credit card to pay for their personal purchases.

That's what we did last December and it worked out well. You have a $1,500 room charge limit before they need to charge the card.

So with the $1500 limit, can you pay for DDP separately? There are 9 of us in a GV in January, and that will test that limit quickly.

Hmmm...I didn't even think about how to pay for the dining plan. I'd like to know if you can pay for it separately, too. Beyond that, I think I'll just have my key linked to my CC and let everyone else use their personal CCs, cash or whatever, for whatever they spend.

I checked in once at OKW with 3 friends, we each paid for our DDP separately. Some used cash, some Disney Rewards, some Credit Card. If you use a credit card, I believe it will be charged immediately. Ticket purchases are also charged immediately.

As long as they are all there to check in at the same time, you could do that.

And, I have heard on these boards (Resort Board) that it is possible to use more than one credit card per reservation for charging, but most CMs don't know the process.

I want to be sure I understand correctly This is more complicated than I thought, or it could just be that I haven't thought about it at all until now.

When we check in, my guests can pay for their DDP and tickets with their individual credit cards and will then have their dining credits and tickets on their room keys. I pay for DDP (don't need tickets) with my CC and link that CC to my room key. My guests will then use their personal CCs (or cash or whatever) for everything else, and I'll be the only one charging to my CC. Is that right? I think I'd rather avoid everyone charging on my CC and then having to take the time to figure it all out at the end of the trip. Am I even making sense?

Everyone can pay for their own DDP and tickets. The DDP credits will be pooled and everyone shares the rooms DDP credits, (good luck). You can have everyones room charge privileges blocked but yours and you will have a $1,500 limit.

DDP has to be paid in full, when you check in. It's not part of your credit limit, as your credit begins AFTER you pay for DDP.
