Hey-Howdy-Hey, Stanley! Welcome back to planDisney. We're pleased as can be to see you again. Thanks for sending another excellent vacation planning question--you've got a friend in me, and I'm happy to help track down the information you're looking for!
I am a longtime
Disney Rewards Visa cardholder, and there are so many great benefits to the program. There are often special offers available for cardmembers, including a
free dining offer for select 2024 dates and financing on Disney vacation packages. Some other perks include discounts at certain shops and restaurants at
Walt Disney World Resort,
Disneyland Resort,
Disney Cruise Line, and more!
Stanley, you can use the Disney Rewards Dollars that you accumulate through using the card at many locations all around Walt Disney World. There is a
comprehensive list that's regularly updated, so be sure to check prior to your September arrival to make sure you are up-to-date on all of the latest deals and discounts. As a rule, I just ask if there is a cardholder discount when I'm paying so I don't miss anything!
To
redeem the Rewards Dollars, they must be transferred to a Rewards Redemption Card. You can request a card and then load the Rewards Dollars onto it as long as you have at least $20 in rewards available (subject to change). I recommend doing this at least six weeks prior to your arrival date to make sure you have it. When you use the Redemption Card to pay at a shop or restaurant, your receipt will show your updated Rewards Dollars balance so you can keep track of your spending.
I hope this info is helpful for your planning purposes, Stanley! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney again--please reach out anytime if we can help with additional questions to make your vacation as magical as can be!
See Ya Real Soon!
