Question about earning points on Disney Visa

[disneymotherof3]

We just got our Disney Visa card and I'm wondering are there specific stores that you earn points at or can you earn them anywhere? We're going to WDW in April and want to try and earn as many points as we can before we go. TIA!!!

you earn disney dollars -- $1 for every $100 you spend.

you can spend $$ anywhere and earn the rewards dollars. (including paying for your VACATION with 6 months NO interest!)

Dh and I use it for everyday purchases, pay it off at the end of the month and save our rewards $$.

Oh, also make sure you use www.chase.com/cards to check what the current other "rewards" are... They vary from a photo opportunity at the parks to deals on rooms. (you have to login)

On our last trip, I bought all our souvies with rewards $$. I used ours at all the kiosks, merchandise stores and counter service restaurants.

Be sure you redeem them before you leave -- they will send you what is basically a gift card to use at the stores with your reward dollars on it.

Good luck with the Visa!

We use our card to pay everything we can on it. Including: car insurance, cable bill, phone bill.....any place that will let us. Then we pay it off every month so we don't pay that nasty interest. For our trip in September we had almost $700.00 in reward dollars. We are not going back until 2011 but we are still using the Visa on everything......I will really have a lot of money to shop with by then.

Just remeber it takes about 2 weeks to get your rewards card. After you receive it the card is good for about 2 years and you just refill it with your pionts in the future.

If you are going in April make sure to order your card 3-4 weeks out to be safe. It is just like a gift card and you can use it almost anywhere in WDW.
