Question about Disney Visa rewards

[Jax1023]

Hi everyone-

Iam thinking about booking a rather last minute disney trip for DH and I in March.

I see I can instantly open a Disney Visa and pay for my trip. The six month financing doesn't interest me, I want to know about the reward dollars.

How fast can you get them? the trip alone would be like 15 reward dollars (not a ton, but better than nothing). If I used this card for all my purchases from now until the trip, could I get the rewards in time?

Thanks!

There is a Chase/Disney Credit Card kiosk in Downtown Disney near the WoD store. I've read here that you can get your rewards card from there on the spot. You just have to call to activate the card when you're there. I'm sure there is someone on the Dis who can give you more info.

We did this for our last trip. Opened account in August for our trip in October. We put everything that we could on the card including our trip. I think we had $ 125 in rewards. You can go to guest services in any park and they will give you a rewards card. You have to show your Disney Visa and ID. Then you call the 800 # in the brochure they give you. Your rewards are activated in 15-30 minutes (I think). Have a great trip!!

the rewards post at the end of your billing cycle, and are available immediately. so yes, you can do this, but you need to do it now--have to apply for the card, get the card, charge to the card, and then wait for the last billing cycle to close to get rewards. you might have less than a month of charges depending on how your billing cycle works.

for example, my billing cycle ends on the 20th of the month, so my points post on the 21st. unless i was going sometime in the end of march, I would only be able to use rewards that I earned between now and Feb 20 for my March vacation. Anything that I earned after Feb 21 would not be available until after March 21.
