New Disney Visa "Inspire" card

[RuntheMouse]

Apologies if this has been asked/answered already, I searched but didn’t see it. Is the annual fee waived the first year? Our bill has cycled already and we weren’t charged, I was expecting to be charged.

It might be a little challenging for us to hit the $2k resort spend because we usually stay on our DVC points, but I have a couple of questions related to it.

Does buying DVC One-Time-Use-Points count towards the $2k resort spend? I'm guessing "no".

Does paying for the Transient-Occupancy-Tax at Villas at Disneyland Hotel count towards the $2k resort spend? I'm guessing "yes".

Also, friendly reminder that for the Disney+ streaming credit, you have to activate / opt-in each calendar year in the Chase app.

I've had my Inspire for a couple of weeks, and they have posted the $149 annual fee, so no, it is not waived the first year.

Did you get your Inspire as a new card, or did you have them migrate your existing Chase Disney Visa or Premier Visa to the Inspire?

The was a new card. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep my eye out!

No, it will be charged. Our first bill cycle closed on 2/14, and our annual fee posted on 3/1.

so if you don't go to Disney at least once a year, the card is not worth it, since it has a $150 annual fee???

We don't go every year, and both DH and I each got one card. I feel the SUB is worth it. That being said, we are going this year and the SUB is nice. Even if we weren't going, I could use the SUB for DVC dues. I will probably cancel my card after a year and maybe product change DH's. Might wind up keeping one card - we will see.

Booked 2 staterooms on the DVC member cruise, and that posting drove me over the top. So I have the $600 sign-up bonuses, the $10/month D+ credit, and now over $500 in rewards dollars. With our DVC dues and park trips, the several DCL cruises we take each year, and the 3% on gas, this card is a no-brainer for us, even with the $149 annual fee.

Had you already earned the $200 from resort/DCL bookings? If not, I'd love to know if after your statement closes the MC triggers it since it doesn't show as DCL on the transaction details. My original assumption was that it wouldn't qualify, but since it seems LLMP is working toward it then who knows!

I bought one time use points last week...they coded as "timeshares" not "Disney resorts." So I doubt it will count as resort spend.

How long did it take for the cards to arrive in the mail? I signed up last week and haven't received any sort of shipping notice. I'd like to pay off 2k of my cruise and am getting impatient lol.

We were about a week and if I remember, that’s what others were saying too. I was able to call and get a hold placed on our due date for WDW pckg to allow for the card to arrive. Hope that helps

Just a tip for everyone: you have to go online (or call) and physically click something to activate the Disney+ credit. My statement just closed on the 3/2. When I was looking at it, I noticed the $10 Disney+ credit wasn't applied. When I looked a little deeper into the fine print, it says:

"You must activate each calendar year on Chase.com, the Chase Mobile® app, or by calling the number on the back of your card. You will receive this benefit starting the day after activation, continuing each month through the end of the calendar year."

Maybe it is just me being dumb to the new card, but I didn't know this until this morning.

I applied & was approved on February 17th, cards arrived on the 23rd. I’ve never received a shipping notice for any credit card, including this one.

Chase likes to do that with a lot of their benefits, if you don't remember to click the button you won't get the credit. They do it on their other cards too not just the Disney one.
