I don't know why we haven't switched yet, but my current card of choice is an Amex that gets us hotel points. It was useful years ago, but now is nearly useless as the only person who stays in hotels is me when I go racing.
We got an offer in the mail yesterday for the Disney Visa. But I'm not sure it'd be worth it for us. We have a trip coming up...we leave 5 weeks from today. We already have 7 days passes from UT, but will be converting them to APs as soon as we get there. So we wouldn't really get anything out of the rewards that we could use toward buying tickets. We always stay off site and very rarely eat in the restaurants. For example, our upcoming trip is 17 park days, and I'd guess that we'll eat in a restaurant maybe 4 or 5 times at the most (we have one reservation at BoG, DW and I will go out to dinner once, and maybe let the kids order from QS a couple times).
So I'm not sure if we'd get a lot of use/benefits out of the card. What do you guys who have them use them for most? How much value per year would you estimate you get out of it?
