Sign-Up Bonus and Earning Disney Dollars

Enjoy a Disney gift card after your first purchase with the card’s current sign-up bonus for new cardmembers. It’s ideal for a shopping trip at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and other select locations.

With the card, get 1% cash-back on all purchases good for Disney Reward Dream Dollars, which will be worth $1 each. Unlike other credit cards, there’s no limit to the number of reward dollars you can earn!

Bottom Line: The Disney card comes with a decent sign-up bonus and the opportunity to earn a flat 1% cash back.

Tons of Disney Card Perks

Disney fans, check out all of the perks that come with the Disney card.

First, get 15% off select guided tours at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. Also, get 10% off select dining locations at both resorts.

Love Disney merchandise? Get 10% off select purchases of $50 or more at Disney Store and DisneyStore.com, plus 10% off Star Wars merchandise of $50 or more at select Disney properties.

That’s not all. Watch the reaction when you tell the kids about the special Disney and Star Wars character private meet & greets, only for Chase Disney credit cardholders.

In addition, you’ll get a 0% APR for 6 months on select Disney vacation packages! That’s half a year to pay off the trip of a lifetime.

Bottom Line: Special discounts on Disney tours, merchandise, and dining, plus character meet & greets make the Disney card a dream come true for Disney fans.

Other Benefits of the Disney Card

The card has no annual fee, unlike the more premium Disney card, which costs $49 per year.

That means you’ll start out ahead of the game earning Disney Dollars to redeem for almost everything Disney: DVDs, toys, movie tickets, and more! You can even redeem your cash-back rewards for Disney theme park tickets and services.

Of course, a true Disney fan wants everyone to know it. Show off your Disney style with your choice of 10 different Disney and Star Wars designs on your credit card.

Finally, for the traveling family, you’ll be glad to know that the card also comes with purchase protection, extended warranty on products, and baggage delay insurance to make sure a lost bag doesn’t ruin your trip!

Bottom Line: The Disney card comes at no annual fee, earns cash-back that is redeemable for anything Disney-related, and has 10 different choices for card designs! You’ll also get a few insurance options, like baggage delay coverage.

Best Way to Maximize Disney Rewards Dollars

It’s important to remember that, although you earn Disney Dollars by using the card, it’s still considered a 1 % cash-back card. As such, you are limited in the number of ways you can maximize points.

Obviously, the more you use the card, the more Disney Dollars you will accumulate. But don’t go overboard with your spending to increase your cash-back amount! Any interest accrued on a balance you can’t pay off will always offset rewards earned.

Best Way to Redeem Disney Rewards Dollars

The only way to redeem points is for Disney Dollars.

Before you can redeem your Disney Dollars, you’ll need to order a Disney Rewards Redemption Card. It’s a reloadable card that holds your Disney Dollars until you are ready to spend them.

This is very similar to the American Express Serve® Card.

Redeeming Disney Dollars

One Disney Dream Reward Dollar is equal to $1 when you redeem them for Disney products and offerings. Whether you redeem for a $99 Walt Disney World Park ticket or a $55.95 Star Wars costume, Disney Dollars are always worth $1 each.

You do have quite a few options for using your Disney Rewards Redemption Card, whether purchasing a voucher or vacation rewards. However, all of your redemption options are of course Disney-related.

Consider it a great way to budget your spending, or to give your kids a gift that makes them feel like they have their own money to spend!

Vouchers for Disney Merchandise

Get vouchers for Disney DVDs, games, toys, and music. The vouchers come in denominations of $10 (toys, music, books, and games) and $15 (DVD & Disney Blu-ray). They expire one year from the month during which they were purchased.

Movie vouchers are good for admission to Disney movies. Each voucher can be redeemed for one admission to a Walt Disney Pictures or Star Wars movie playing at participating theaters.

See voucher restrictions here.

Disney Vacation Rewards

Disney Dollars can also be redeemed for hotel stays at Disney Resorts, seasonal park passes, Disney Cruise Line spa experiences, souvenirs, and much more.

Use your Disney Dollars to cover the full value of your Disney reward or a portion of the cost. See a list of locations where you can redeem your Disney Dollars here.

Alternatives to the Disney Card

The biggest drawback of the card is that you are limited to Disney-brand benefits. (Of course, for die-hard Disney fans, that’s hardly a problem!)

If you love Disney but want a little more flexibility when it comes to redeeming your points, you might consider the Disney® Premier Visa® card. In addition to Disney benefits, it allows you to redeem Disney Dollars for airline tickets.

This card has a $49 annual fee, but you’ll earn 2% back on restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, and Disney purchases. Plus, you get a Disney gift card for the sign-up bonus, which is typically more than the value of this Disney card offer.

If you aren’t going to be using the Disney perks, you can also consider other cash-back cards entirely, such as the Citi® Double Cash Card, Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express, or the Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card.

Bottom Line: The Disney card offers 2 ways to spend your Disney Dollars: on Disney products and services, or for airfare. The Disney card only allows you to redeem your cash-back for Disney rewards.

Can any of the Disney cards be used in any place that accepts Visa? Not just Disney themed establishments?

We tried using our Chase Rewards when purchasing Christmas gifts. Our rewards card totaled approximately $171. We had our personal bank card and the rewards card listed when we purchased our items through Disney.com. When we purchased the items we have no idea if the rewards money will be actually applied. When checking our bank account the entire amount was charged to our personal bank card. I was on the phone for over an hour trying to figure out what happened. Not Chase nor Disney would get this resolved. Disney is saying that it is Chase’s fault while Chase is saying it was Disney’s fault. Since these gifts were for my grandchildren, then I couldn’t return all of the products. This is a huge problem and I would tell anyone to be cautious when purchasing any more products from Disney. I will never buy something again from Disney. When the issue is not a result of the consumer, and the companies will not help or resolve the issue, then this is not a good business practice. I will not do business with companies that do not take care of the people who keep them in business.

I have a disputed charge on my credit card–there was a rebill and the vendor put a decimal in the wrong place a second time (1000.05 v 1005). I’ve been disputing this since January–asking Chase Disney Visa to remove one charge and to leave the other in place. They refuse to contact the vendor, to complete the transaction properly, or to remove both charges so I may pay the vendor in an alternative manner. During this process, Chase has dropped calls and not called me back. One representative wrote in his notes a misrepresentation–if not an outright lie–about my wishes. Chase Disney supervisors have not called me and no one will give me the phone number to contact them–they have the audacity to give me a window when I may receive a phone call that is between 24 and 48 hours. Three times in a row, the supervisor called my house landline instead of my cell number which I requested each time. Chase Disney has demonstrated that they have no desire to meet my needs and that they do not care about me and the years I have been a customer.

Yes, when we applied for the Disney card we asked that my wife also receive a card in her name. Well we received the card today and its in my husband name we have been trying to have my wife have a card also for when I am not with her. What a mess to try to have this done we went through 5 calls with reps and even security and they said they would call us back. Why can I not get my wife a card with her name on it?
