Visa gift card question

[millerjmls]

Our local grocery store is having a special on a select number of gift cards that will enable me to get what they call "double fuel perks". Normally you receive .10 off per gallon, but now with the offer it will be .20. It can add up to quite a savings when buying a substantial amount...ie paying off a Disney trip. However, the Disney gift card is not one of the ones in this offer. My question is this: Can I use a Visa gift card to pay online or to call in to the CM to make a payment? Does anyone know if this would be an acceptable form of payment?
The website looks like it would only accept a Disney gift card.

Is this at Giant Eagle? If so I would suggest waiting if you are able to. The Visa gift cards have fees which would cut into your savings. Typically right before Black Friday ALL gift cards will be included in the double fuelperks offer. Last year I believe the deal started right on Thanksgiving but previous years started the Thursday prior. I don't know when you're going but last year in March there was also a deal where you got a $10 store coupon for every $100 you spent on Disney GC's so with the normal $.10 fuelperks and the coupon it ended up being a 16% savings! I'm hoping for that again next year! Otherwise I have no first hand experience but I would think you should have no problems using the Visa gift cards just like a typical Visa card.

Yes, it is at giant eagle. I didn't know about the fees. My final payment is due the day BEFORE Thanksgiving. I was hoping to get the double fuel perks and that all the gift cards would be offered before Thanksgiving. But it sounds like I won't quite make it. Would Disney extend it by one day if the offer starts on Thanksgiving?

I believe if you look on the back of the card is says the fee is $10.95 for the card

Sorry that I really have no idea on! Hopefully someone on here knows the answer to that...or hopefully GE will go back to starting the deal the week earlier.

I read on another post that Disney will give you a couple days past the 45 day mark before they cancel your reservation. Someone said they don't cancel until closer to 30 days.

You can always call them to ask. But I just read on another thread where someone had a similar situation. And someone told them they should be fine if they paid a day or two past the due date.
