Question for you Disney Visa Experts

[m 'n c]

Jen picked up a card last year on her trip. She can probably tell you what you need to know when she gets on.

Yay! Thanks Cate, I'll check with Jen!!!

We picked up an empty card at DTD a few years ago. They used our Visa to verify our account and identity but the rewards card wasn't "assigned" until we called and had the points transferred. Hopefully Jen can pop on later and tell you if this is still the case! Good luck!

When the verified you account, did they verify that you had enough available to transfer rewards ($20 in rewards points) or just that you had a valid goodstanding account? Since I have already transfered all of my points it will look like I don't have enough to transfer again. Or do you even know what they were checking for?

Honestly, I think that they were only comparing the name on the Disney Visa card with the photo ID. The only thing is that I don't know if they have changed their procedures more recently. Not sure why they would though- being that they are just DTD customer service people, I can't see that they would/ should have much access to your actual account information. I think they are just providing a service as a middle man. They never made a phone call to verify anything with Disney Visa...only compared the name on the two cards and gave us an envelope with the rewards card. They said we could use their phone to call Disney Visa, but we chose to call from our resort later.

YAY! Good! Thank you! Thank you! That is what I wanted to hear! WOW! Now I will have an extra $300 for our trip! My birthday was a few weeks ago, and he called this my birthday present, but he never bothered to call and ask how it works.... he thought he could just transfer to me at the last minute. Silly Dad!

Sounds like I can pick it up though, so YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me Jen or Jen V?

Me Jen didn't do this...however, I did have the Disney Rewards card w/me, but I transferred everything before I left. I even had my mom transfer more online when we were there since my statement cutoff!!

Maybe Jen V got a rewards card at DTD??

Oh I assumed Cate meant you Jen, but maybe she did mean Jen V

I meant JenK when I posted that. Maybe she was just asking around but was able to do it before? My memory is failing me

I've never done this, but when I called a few days ago to transfer the last of my points, the woman on the phone said that if I were to lose or forget my card, I could get a new card and transfer my points from Guest Services in any park. Maybe you don't even have to go to DTD. Call DV and ask.

OH and for anyone new to Disney rewards, keep the card after you use it, it is linked to your Visa acct. We didn't know this last year, and we threw them out when we used all of the points and then this year we had to request that they be cancelled and new rewards cards issued. Everytime I would call to transfer we had to be careful not to tranfer to the wrong card that was in the trash at WDW until I called and cancelled it.
