New Disney Visa Offer

[PlutoNotPlanet]

I went with Chase travel cards (Sapphire Reserve and Business Ink) and Disney Visa Premier to maximize my DVC purchase. I think I came out about $3.2k ahead on my 45k purchase compared to only using my normal 2% cash back card after accounting for sign up bonuses, earning interest on cash during the 6 month interest free period, and extra 1% cash back on my Chase cards when DVC falls under travel.

I know there are some good bonuses on Amex business cards too but I decided to stick with Chase.

Good to know Chase count this as travel! I know normal park tickets can be entertainment rather than travel. How much is allowed to put on credit card?

The Visa incentive doesn’t kick in until 150 points. So may not be helpful. The D23 discount kicks in below that if you sign up for D23 Gold. Poly, for example:

Thanks for this, I had no idea that the D23 incentive goes down to 100 points.

Only DVC is coded travel on Chase (timeshare). I don't think park tickets register as travel but not positive on that. If buying direct you can put 100% on credit cards and there is flexibility to break it into several payments over multiple cards and multiple billing cycles.

Park tickets from dvcrentalstore.com and undercovertourist.com code as travel for Chase. I’ve bought from both. I think if bought from Disney they don’t code as travel.

Thanks! Is either of the two cheaper than buying elsewhere?

They were both cheap (as cheap as I could find) last I checked!

The TouringPlans ticket calculator is pretty good. It only considers the US market, AFAIK. It also does not know if you are a MouseSavers subscriber (they get a few dollars more off at Undercover Tourist). That usually doesn't matter these days.
