New Earn 3X Disney Dream Reward Dollars

[aubriee]

Did anyone else get the new Disney Reward promo in the mail: 'Earn 3x Disney Dream Reward Dollars on all eligible purchases above $3000.00 each month from January 1-March 31, 2011'. Geez! I use my Disney Visa for just about all my purchases and also to pay my electric bill, cell phone bill, and cable, but no way do I charge over $3000.00 per month on it. The 3X Rewards only starts after you charge $3000.00 and then it has to be each month.

Yep. Not gonna happen here either. We put just about all personal spending that we can on the card but we dont come near $3K in a month. The only way that this ever happens is if we make a payment on a BIG vacation or a major purchase for the house. No way would that happen on a regular basis!

Im going to switch all my recurring charges over to another rewards card. Maybe 3 or 4 months of drought will grab chase's attention and get them to give me an offer with a lower threshold the next time around.

I got the offer too and I agree...I think that I'm going to start using another card too. Maybe they will miss my business and give me a decent offer.

That worked for me last year. I totally stopped using the card and not only did i get a 3x offer on all charges, I got a call from customer service asking if I was using another card instead. I told them yes i was using Discover because they have a great rewards programs that EVERYONE is eligible for. But alas, they just keep sucking me back in and i'm using the card again. If Discover would get Disney GC as a cashout option, I'd totally abandon the Chase card.

Maybe we could start a DIS board Disney Visa Swap. We could put all our expenses on another members card per month for bonuse points. Who wants to start?

LOL!
Tell you what...give me your card number and I'll put all my charges on it for the next three months. Works for me!!!!

I received it as well and it's a joke! It's no better than offering 3x points for gas, dining and grocery stores over a certain dollar amount. I shop at a variety of grocery stores here in my area and they all say "other" next to them so I would never qualify for that.

Last quarter I got the 3X offer for total purchases over $750. I managed to earn some extra rewards in Nov/Dec because I used the card for all my online Christmas shopping and then paid if off via my online bank account, transferring funds at the end of each day when I'd made a purchase. I actually didn't realize I'd earned extra $$ until I got my statement and saw them there after the promo period was over- I got 27 extra DDRD's- not that much. This quarter they upped the threshold to 1K. It's not gonna happen as I wouldn't spend that much normally and I can't charge my utility bills or car payment. Still, it's on ALL purchases vs. just gas and grocery, unlike the offers I've gotten in the past that I didn't even bother to sign up for. Perhaps if I don't use this card at all I'll get a different offer with a lower threshold but really the only time this would work for me is during the holidays or if I have a large purchase which is rare since my vacations are paid for with DVC points for the most part.---Kathy

I use my card all the time and my offer was for 3x reward dollars for all purchases over $1,000 per month, Jan-Mar.

DH never uses his card and his offer purchase threshold was $300 per month. Guess which card we'll be using for the next three months.

I use my Disney Visa for just about everything. I could easily met the $300.00 or even the $1000.00/month as long as it included all purchases. However, there is no way I could meet (or even want to meet) the $3000.00/month they offered me. What's bad is that the 3x offer doesn't even start until after you spend the $3000.00. I mean really, how much more are you going to spend after $3000.00/month?

I got a similar offer, but mine is for purchases over $1000 a month. Seems like there were many offers like this, but different levels. I just paid my DVC HOA/property tax, so I've got January covered, now to see how the other months turn out. I was thinking of doing some remodeling in Feb/Mar, so it may work out for me, plus I leave for WDW in 6 days so I'll rack up a nice amount on my cc for that trip. Though the balance never stays for more than a day or two as I pay off my balance as soon as I get one.

I got the 3X offer this weekend too, but mine is for purchases over $300. Wow, such disparity for everyone. Don't they get it? If everyone were offered $300, the usage would most likely go up. But, offering rewards after $3000, just leaves a bad taste.

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

My offer was for over $800!

 

[lilstint]

Mine was for $1,000 but it said "qualifying purchases" and nowhere in the fine print did it say what the qualifying purchases were. Could it have been for total purchases? I'd sign up if that were the case.

 

[dhdozier]

Got the 3x offer for over 3ooo too. Not really happy about it either. No problem getting there before Christmas but of course now we have slowed down, hence this offer right? I am hoping that since hubby has a business trip this month we might be able to reach it but am doubtful about the next 2 months.

 

[chabs]

I got the same offer and thought what a joke! I have been thinking about getting rid of my Disney Visa for a while now-the rewards just don't add up as quickly as some of my other cards and they haven't even been running any decent vacation promos like they used too. We got it so that we could book free dining every year before non-card holders but they don't seem to be offering "first picks" to the card holders anymore.

DH and I each have two disney visas. One of his had the 3x offer over $500 during Oct -Dec 2010, so of course we used only that one and racked up over $200disney dollars. His new offer for that card is 3 x over $800.

All three of our other Disney visas that never get used got the 3 x $300 offer (and you can only earn up to $100 disney dollars for each of these cards). I think they're giving out tempting offers to use the cards, no sense giving you a good offer if you're already using it. We will choose one of the three to use until we max out the amount we can earn, then switch to another. Can't imagine I'd get to the third card.

 

[hcmommy]

My offer said $3,000, DH said $300 (we never use his). I enrolled his card and we will use it Jan to Mar. How can you tell what a qualifying purchase is though?

 

[cinderella97]

We received the offer too. Ours is on all over purchases over $300. On any thing. So we will be using our Disney Card. We never use our card so maybe that is why we have the lower threshold.
