How do you rack up your Disney Visa Chase Rewards??

We use it for gas, restaurants sometimes with work, etc and we earned enough points to completely pay for 5 people to go to the hoop-dee-doo with about $100.00 left over. Just don't get in such a big hurry to rack up points that you charge more than you can pay off at the end of the month. If you are having to pay intrest on the balance it kind of voids the benefit of earning "free"points.

Can someone explain how this Character Meet and Greet works? I've heard about it, but don't know exactly how it works.

Sure, the meet and greet is awesome, you go to EPCOT, Innoventions West, I'd have to look up the times and get back to you on that but I believe it's at 1PM and 4:30PM (don't quote me though on that!) You line up outside a curtain area, a CM will check to make sure you have your Disney Visa and give you a ticket, you and whoever is in your party are then let into the private room, it's one of the Fab 5 characters (or two, we had Mickey and Pluto) and a CM will take pictures of you and your family! Give them about one hour and you can pick up your free 5x7 at the Kodak store right by SSE. It's pretty awesome b/c it's just you and your family, makes you feel like a real VIP!!! We will definately take advantage of this on our next trip!!!

BTW, JPG, I love your count down ticker!

Thanks!!! I got it from Mickeypath.com

Side note....The character meet and greet is a cool benefir of being a card holder. We have had as many as 3 characters in there at one time: Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy..And I agree, it does make you and your family feel very special as the characters spend a lot of time with you, and the photographer takes a lot of cool shots of the characters interaction with your family. Not just posed shots..

In the past when I rented a car or mini van at the airport

I would get a cheaper price

or an upgrade at no extra charge

for paying with my chase disney card

Yeah, there's all kinds of little perks just for being a cardholder but the points are the main thing for us. We put EVERYTHING on that card....Bills, Food, Gas, Restuarants - you'd be surprised how fast it adds up. Basically anything you spend during the month and then you pay it off so you don't carry a balance or get interest. Even big purchases like computers, TVs.....and trips to WDW of course!

You can easily rack up over a couple hundred points in a year so that's $200+ in your pocket to use for anything Disney. We always save them for trips to WDW and it usually pays for one of the park tix

If I can only get my mortgage company to let us pay by credit card we'd be set!!!

The card also gives you 6 months no interest an Disney Packages (hotel & theme park admission)

We, too, pay for EVERYTHING we can on the card. With the exception of tithe, water, and lawn bills that have to be paid by check, it all goes on the Visa.

And, it's fun to have every other person tell you how cute your card is.

I always get comments on "how cute" my Disney Visa is too!!! Which one do you have? I have the classic Mickey!

Can someone explain how many dollars is one point and how many points gets you what rewad.

Thanks in advance.

boilerbabe · Post by **boilerbabe** » Jul Wed 22, 2009 10:35 pm

Basically for every $100 you spend, you get one Disney Dollar. You have to accumulate at least $25 to cash them out and you can use them on whatever you want. Resort stay, park tix, food in the parks, Disney merchandise etc.......
From time to time, they will send you things in the mail, like to register and you can earn 5x's the Disney dollars if you spend X amt. on gas, dining, groceries, things like that. Along with other perks like discounts and character meet and greets.

I learned on our last trip, that you can now cash your Disney Dollars out right in Disney World! Which is great for me, b/c I like to wait until the last possible moment to accumulate the most DD's!!! You just go to the guest relations window, and they will give you your Disney Rewards Card, you call in and they will load it for you over the phone!!! That really came in handy.

Len, if you and your family don't have a Disney Visa, you really need to get one and start racking up the points! Hope that helped?!

Thanks for the info boilerbabe. Does it cost you any points at the meet and greet in EPCOT or is that just a perk you get with having the card.
