One of our rewards programs offers Disney Gift Cards. Can these be used to pay the 200 deposit for a package and the balance or a least a portion of it also?
Thanks everybody. My points are burning a hole in my pocket
Do the gift cards have an expiration date or can I accumulate them over the next couple of months?
A word of caution if you use gift cards to pay for your package: DO NOT THROW THOSE GIFT CARDS AWAY UNTIL YOUR TRIP IS OVER!
If you need to cancel your trip for any reason and want a refund, it will be returned to the original form of payment. That means that it will be returned to the gift card(s). If you've throw away the card(s), you have no access to those returned funds!
Put them away in a drawer and toss them when you get home.

Would you happen to know how long it takes to refund a gift card? I have a room only ressie, and was wondering just in case some great package deal comes out. I have them all in my folder still.
(sorry to hijack)
So, can you enter the gift card on-line? Do you just enter it as a credit card? Thanks.
It can vary from a week to 6 weeks. At least that's what happened when I had to cancel and rebook a trip. The funds kind of trickled back to the GCs one at a time and took 6 weeks for the final card to get its funds back.
Yes, you can. I purchase the gift cards through our kids school (a fundraiser) each week $100 and then go on the website and pay on our trip each week. On the invoice page, it gives you the option to pay with gift card then disney will send you an email with a day or 2 acknowledging the payment. It does not show up instantly, just a warning. I called Disney after the first time I paid with gift cards to be sure it worked.

Are yours .20 cents right now? Here in PA (I'm near Pittsburgh) we are not doubled right now, only doing .10 cents.I paid for my trip with gift cards from giant eagle.. if anyone is from OH this is a great deal you get $.20 off of gas at Get go for every $50.00 spent.. its a double win... keep the cards because if you cancel ur trip the amount goes back to each card...
