Question: AAA Discounts & Disney Visa Dream Reward Dollars?

[VW_Guy]

Howdy fellow Disneyphiles!

My wife and I (along with her Mom & Dad) are planning a trip the "The World" at the end of May 2008. We have been saving up Disney Visa Reward Dollars for the past 2 years, and we were planning on using them to pay for a decent chunk of our vacation. However, I forsee a problem--let me lay it out for you:

We are going to stay at a Moderate resort for 7 nights, with an 8 day park hopper and Disney Dining Plan add-on. We are AAA members, so we want to get the best discount we can. The problem is this: to book the AAA package discount, we need to book directly through AAA, which I doubt will accept Visa Reward Dollars as payment. We could book a room-only AAA discounted package through Disney, but then I don't think we would be able to get the Dining Package, as they are only available in conjunction with the Magic My Way Packages.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? Can anyone see a loophole that I don't? What do you think is my best course of action?

Thanks for any input you can get me!

I booked my last Disney package through AAA and was able to use my reward dollars as payment. Once you obtain your reward dollar card through Chase it works just like a credit card, just give the AAA travel agent the card number and exp date and your good to go!!! Hope you have a great time.

Awesome!

Thanks for the info.

Off to AAA I go... Incidentally, does anyone know if you can book with AAA online? I've tried going through my local AAA's website, and they only outline the packages for you, they don't allow you to submit a request for a quote.
