Question on Disney Visa Rewards Card

[ctc917]

So I have a rewards card that is empty right now but expires in Dec we are going in Sept and while I know I could put a small amount on that card and make sure we use it I would like to not worry about using the rewards or not(we are going during "free dining") so here is my question: Can I order a new card with an expiration date later than Dec 10?

Thanks

Last I dealt with this, you were allowed two cards outstanding at a time. If you already have two, you can swear you lost both and they'll give you a new one. But it may expire in Dec 11. If you're going during free dining, you can estimate what your tips will be and use it for that. Or why not pay for your package with it so you know it's used?

yes as I recall you can have up to 2 active rewards cards on the go at any one time.

You should however (IMO) ask what the new expiration date will be to make sure that works into your plan.

We're going during free dining too and tend to use our rewards on tips - charge everything to the room and then the night before we check out dh hops down to the desk and pays the bill with the rewards card.

Yes. Just order a new card before the trip with whatever points you need, all on that one.

My BFF just picked up her new card at DTD GR in june her new card has expire date of 12/11.

I would expect the new cards to have an expiration date of 12/2011 or later. I have one that I got in 9/2008 and it has a 12/2010 expiration date. I've ordered a new one so it has a later expiration date.

What I do is order it with just $20 on it, the lowest amount you can order a new card with. Then I call and transfer the remaining money closer to my trip. I believe the transfers can happen immediately over the phone or online so you could transfer a smaller amount, then call if you are getting close to using that amount up and add more to the card. You just have to transfer a minimum of $10 to an existing card.
