disney visa rewards?

Post by karenj2 » Jul Mon 16, 2007 2:10 pm

Hey all - is it possible to put our hotel expenses (i.e., drinks, souvies, etc.) on the rewards card we have, instead of putting down a regular CC? I'm hoping to use that, so we don't have any additional trip expenses on our regular CC.

It's like a gift card at Disney.

Basically any place that can take credit cards on property can take it. Some things to remember, first the rewards card is gift card when it's empty it's well empty. Second if you put your hotel on the Visa card, it's only "Packages" that get the zero percent for 6 months, not hotel.

The other thing is a lot of times it's a LOT faster/easier to use a cash. Drink stands are what come to mind.

You may be able to use the gift card when you check in to pay for the balance but they'll need a real credit card on file for incidentals.

Our trip is already paid in full - I just wanted to pay for the incidentals with it... I'm up to $350 now. Is it possible to give a real CC for incidentals, but then on the last day pay for it with the rewards card? Or, should I just buy my souvies, drinks, etc. with the card and not charge it to my room?

Yes if you want an extra visit up front to "settle" your bill you can use it then.

And at least on the ship, I when I checked in I went to the pursers and put the money from the Rewards card on my room account. I don't KNOW why couldn't do both... Here is $X to "preload" the room with, and here is a credit card for overages.

They will want a CC on file. But every hotel where I had either Travelers cheques or cash that I didn't spend I could take the balance off my CC and pay it on checkout.
