What to Get from MyPoints??

[girlsx2]

Ok all you mypoints experts, I have a question. I have about 4500 points to spend. We are leaving in 64 days and I want to cash out now so I will still have plenty of time to get whatever before our trip. So, my question to you all is...what do I get? This will be the first time I am cashing out and I am a little confused on what to do. I've heard a lot of talk about the webbies, not quite sure even what that is. Then there is all the gift certificates. I am wanted to get something that we can use for our trip to Disney. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!


Thanks!!!

If your family likes to eat at either of the Rainforest Cafes at WDW, you might get a $25.00 RFC gift certificate for 3250. I think a $25.00 webbie is 3500.00 so you would save 250 points that way. But if you dont like the RFC, I would say a webbie is the way to go.

A webbie is like an online mastercard account. Its basically electronic funds that you use like a credit card at online merchants. You can also order a card from them and use it like a regular credit card but I think its $6.95 or somewhere around there to do so. I have never personally gotten a webbie so I will defer to the experts on what exactly they are.

I need to change my signature. My boss is pregnant and we can't go in May now. Back to October it is. But I am sneaking another trip (or two) in there somewhere so help me!!!

Depends on a few things. If you're driving you can get gas cards. If you need snacks, film, drinks and other items before you leave for the trip you can get Target or WalMart Cards. The WalMart cards can also be used for gas if yours has a gas station....saving you 3 cents per gallon. If you'll be off-site at all you can get other restaurant GCs like the Chili's one is really for a whole group of restaurants owned by the same company. The Webbie "costs" more so I use my MyPoints for the above items.

the easiest and cheapest way I found is to cash out for the webbie and then print out the account page when the money has been added and take that to TDS and buy $DD (this saves the $6.95 for the plastic card) and you can use the $DD anywhere at WDW.

Another thing you can do is take the webbie account # and call the hotel you'll be staying at and use that to put a deposit on the room. Either way you save from not buying the plastic card


good luck and have fun
