Paying for DDP with Disney Rewards Card & gift cards... is this possible?

[Jenna319]

I am renting DVC points this November and my party consists of myself, my husband, our 1 year old daughter (free), my mother, and my 7 year old niece. My mother would like to pay her portion of the dining plan with her credit card, and I would like to pay my portion with both mine and my husband's Disney Rewards Redemption Card, a Disney gift card, and whatever the remaining balance is on my credit card. Is it possible on the DVC owner side to pay for the dining plan using multiple forms of payment?

The member website will only accept one form of payment (credit cards only) when adding a Disney Dining Plan. To use multiple methods or payment or to use Disney Gift Cards, the owner must call Member Services to add and pay.

Ok so it is doable though? I'd hate to not be able to use all our Disney Reward dollars to pay for our dining plan. (we have over $400 in reward dollars and gift cards).

Have your mother buy Disney Gift Cards for her portion and deposit them into your DVA along with your GCs. Pay for DDP with your DVA.

Can't help you on the rewards portion. Don't have a DVisa.

Hmm, anyone know if you can transfer rewards dollars to the DVA?

From the DVA FAQs:

Can I apply Disney Dream Reward Dollars® using my Disney Rewards® Redemption Card to my Disney Vacation Account?

No. However, you may be able to use your Disney Rewards® Redemption Card to purchase a Disney Gift Card, which can be applied to your Disney Vacation Account. Or, you may be able to use your Disney Rewards® Redemption Card to pay for incidental expenses during your visit. For information about using your Disney Dream Reward Dollars®, visit the Disney Rewards website.
