Paying for room charges on KTTW card?

[dreamalittledream]

I used to collect Disney Dollars to pay for things on our trips. I can get the gift cards at church and I have been getting those. I thought it might be easier to charge things to our room KTTW card and then use the gift cards to pay the bill before we check out. I would still give them a CC to hold but I would like to aviod them actually charging it.

Can I do that?

Yes. You give them your card at check-in. On the date of check-out, you will need to go to the front desk and tell them you'd like to settle your bill with gift cards. As long as the gift cards have a Visa, Mastercard, AMEX logo on them, it will be no problem.

Your credit card will not be charged as long as you visit the front desk prior to your scheduled check-out time.

Thanks, I just looked at the gift card and they have a website for it. WOW!

It looks like I can do what I was hoping to do. It also seems like I can pay for the room as well with them. I have a room only ressie so I don't have to pay in advance.

I get credit for tuition by buying the cards at church so I was hoping to be able to buy a few each month and save for the trip that way.

We used our Disney Gift Cards to pay for KTTW card charges during our stay Jan. 26- Feb. 2. I went down the night before we left and paid the charges. It worked out great for us.
