Hello Jennifer,
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for your great question! I'm a big fan of the Chase Disney Rewards Visa Card, and am always on the lookout for magical perks or ways it can help save me money. Which, of course, goes directly back into my Disney fund!
Here's what comes to mind for perks of paying with your Chase Disney Rewards card for a
Swan or
Dolphin Hotel... and other Disney purchases during your trip:
- Zero % Financing - The Chase site mentions you get a promotional APR of 0% for 6 months on select Disney vacation packages from the date of purchase with your Disney Visa Card.
- Earning Disney Reward Dollars - Paying with your Disney Visa will earn you 1% in Disney Rewards Dollars (or 2% for premier card holders) .... which you can then use on future Disney purchases!
- MagicBand Charges - I always use my Chase Disney Visa as my room charge card, so any purchases I make with my MagicBand+ will also earn more Disney rewards.
- My Disney Experience App Purchases - I use my Chase Disney Visa as payment in the My Disney Experience app. This is awesome, because I have found when using Merchandise Mobile Checkout at Disney gift shops I automatically receive 10% off the total purchase. It's very slick!
(Some of this information taken from the Disney Rewards Visa site, and is subject to change.)
And whether you pay for your resort with your Chase Disney card, or not... during your trip, be sure to swing by one of the special Disney Character meet-and-greet experiences you are entitled to as a card holder. There's one at EPCOT (the website currently says daily from 1:00pm – 6:30pm... this one's my favorite!) and one at Hollywood Studios (currently says daily from 11:00am – 4:00pm). Bring your physical card with you to show at check in.
I hope this is helpful, Jennifer.
Please swing by again if you'd like any dining or planning recommendations, I love sprinkling a bit of pixie dust to help guests experience the best trip ever!
Magical Memories Await,
Tami
