I've been collecting Disney Gift cards from QuickRewards to put towards an upcomming trip. Like a dummy I waited until the last day to use them. It seems Disney's web site will not let you put more than one of a particular payment method in at one time.

I had to pay the balance so I could only use one gift card. I had to call and sit on the phone for 15 minutes listening to ride music (not a bad thing) and then read off all the gift cards to the nice lady on the other end.

I think it would have been smarter to enter one payment a day with a gift card during the week leading up to today so I could pay down the balance with gift cards.

On the web site there was a radio button that say pay the entire balance. I assume there would be a choice for partial payment if I had not waited until the last day.

The result was the same and they took all six cards I had over the phone to lower my balance before making the credit card payment to pay it off.
 
oh that stinks!

I've been prepared for that, and once I make my deposit, I'll be regularly making payments, because I have just enough cards to pay for the trip, but they're all in $25 and $50 increments.

Live and learn, right? :goodvibes

Please post back here after you make a payment or two with gift cards online. Since I was dumb enough to wait until the last day I could not test the ability to pay with one card a day. Since so many are getting gift cards it would help everyone to know how to plan.

Will do! Although we don't even have a deposit down yet. Might be a while! :goodvibes
