I recently applied for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. It awards you a $300 statement credit when you pay for travel using the card.. I have no other travel expenses on this card just the charge from the DVC dues. So you don't have to purchase a hotel stay or airline ticket to get the $300 credit. Well I paid our DVC dues and automatically got the $300 credited to the card for 2016. I will pay the other half of our DVC dues in Jan 2017 and earn another $300 travel credit. ( getting the $300 now and $300 in Jan will only occur if your dues payment is included in the Dec closing date of your statement. For example my Dec CC statement closes Dec 23 and my payment posted Dec 17).
So if you are thinking about getting the card this is a great benefit and paying your dues helps reach the required $4k that needs to be spent in order to get the 100,000 rewards points that can be used toward travel expenses.
Also I earned 3 times the amount of rewards points toward the dues purchase since it was classified as a travel purchase. (ie: $1000 in dues will get you 3000 rewards points)
