Question About Using Your WC With On-line or Phone Purchases

[BethR]

I will have $195 in my WC and I intend to use it to purchase passes for our WDW trip. After realizing that there is a surcharge to put money into my WC with a credit card, I opted not to do so.
When I go to purchase my passes of course $195 will not cover the price. Is is possible to use my WC Master Card account for PART of my purchase and then to use my Disney VISA for the rest?

Thanks for you help!

I would think that you could do it over the phone without any trouble, but I don't know. I've never tried. I don't know how it would work online.

When I bought DD with my plastic card, the cast member rung up each credit card separately.

Is it possible to buy one pass with the WC (I don't know which kinds of passes you're buying and how much they cost)? Then pay for the other passes with another CC, as a separate "order." Then use your WC balance somewhere else.

Why don't you buy DD with the WC then use the DD and another credit card to buy the passes? Although I guess from your post you do not have TDS near you. Then I would do as Sue suggested and buy the passes with the credit card and use the WC somewhere else. Even if you just buy lunches wtih it a WDW.

I wanted to clarify that he counted out $75 DD, rang them up on the register, ran my card through, had me sign, counted out another $75 DD, rang them up, ran the next card through,...

I had 3 debit cards (two Ford testdrives and my Webbie) and my Disney Visa (to cover what I had gotten as survey checks). So four completely separate transactions. But it was a slow day at the DS....

P.S. Beth, I just noticed you're in Plum. I'm in Allison Park! Small World after all, huh?

Is there a DS closer to you than Ross Park Mall? I'm not familiar with all the ones in the area. Ever since we moved out this way, I've forgotten what's in Monroeville and wherever.

Hi Eilonwy !

Yes there is a TDS in Monroeville, but I am too cheap to pay the $7 for the WC plastic Master Card. AND I am going to buy 3 day hoppers which are not available through Disney. So I wanted to apply what I had in my account to my purchase.
I think that I will just call the ticket broker and ask if I can use 2 cards to make the purchase.

Thanks!

Beth,

Are you a Mousesavers newsletter subscriber? They always have "unadvertised" deals on 3-day hopper plus passes only for subscribers. Let's just say, you could easily buy one with your WC number. Buy the others with your other CC. And then find something else to buy online with your other $20 in your WC account. There's gotta be something you can buy with it.

Good luck!

I ordered the plastic card before Tupperware caught onto us at MyPoints, so I was planning on gettting LOTS of Webbies. Still, it's less than 10% of the Webbies I've earned, and even after you take off what I spent at Tupperware, I'm still $50 or so ahead right now.
