DLR Discount for Disney Visa Purchases

[mkcbunny]

If everyone knows this, sorry for repeating. I searched "Disney Visa" and got a lot of threads related to other topics.

Just wanted to let people know that you can get a 10% discount if you spend over $50 on merchandise at DLR and pay with your Disney Visa card. [Don't know if the same is true at WDW.]

I do not know if this applies only to stores in the parks [vs World of Disney], or, if there are limitations, which stores are included. I made my qualifying purchase on Main Street. It does not apply to food, from what we experienced. But I had no idea of this discount before going, so I thought maybe other folks might like to know.

Be sure to ask the CM at the register first, as I do not know what restrictions there might be. The CM who helped me just said if you bought over $50 in goods, they'd take 10% off. Happy shopping!

It works at WOD, but there are restrictions. i.e. Not good on Disney Dollars, WDCC, or original art work are a few.

"The Happiest Celebration On Earth is a key milestone in Disney's history, and we want to make it easier than ever for Disney's Visa cardmembers to visit the Disneyland Resort and enjoy the best Disney has to offer during this anniversary," said Jennifer Cohen, vice president of consumer relationship marketing for The Walt Disney Company.

Void where prohibited. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

The only perk listed that I am interested in is the "daily character meet-and-greet." Anyone know any more about this? I haven't received anything with my credit card statement.

Ok.... thats just silly... the FIRST line says "valid at pin cart locations" and the last line says NOT valid at the "Pin Cart".... I haven't been to Disneyland in a couple of years... is this statement contradictory or is "Pin Cart" a proper name for a specific place??

Also... AAA has discounts too I think.

Does anyone have a link to where the new card designs can be found? I would like to see them before I choose one to order. The Chase website doesn't mention these new designs at all.

The pin carts in the park honor the discount. The Pin Cart in Downtown Disney does not.

I read it as NOT VALID at any Downtown Disney® District location other than World of Disney®, Marceline’s Confectionery, and the Pin Cart. Meaning you get the discount at WOD, MArceline Confectionery and Pin Carts in DTD but not at any other location.

There is a number where you can call to get a "new" look for your Disney Visa Card. There are a total of five - the Original one called Pixie Dust (the red with all the stars on it) and now there are four others. Bambi - with Bambi and Flower on it a field and green background. Vintage Mickey - with the older version of Mickey a grey/red back ground. Mickey and Friends - the newer looking Mickey, Donald and Goofy on it blue/red background. And then the Happiest Celebration on Earth one. This one has the castle, with 50 years on it (Tink flying) and it is a blue sky background with gold on the side. The number to order these are 1-888-315-4255.

This is what it says:

Give your card some magic character! Watch your mailbox in April/May for your New Disney's Visa Card from Chase. Though you will receive the standard red card design (Pixie Dust) you can now choose (at no charge) to change your card to one of these designs featuring some of your favorite Disney Characters... Then it says to call that number to select your new card design today!

It says Card designs are subject to availability and may change without notice. Limit one card design per account. Total five new cards designs to choose from. Now the Happies Celebration one is a Limited Edition.

Do not call 888-315-4255. I just tried it and I got a private residence. The nice lady that answered is getting a lot of calls about this promotion and is really frustrated.

Correct # 1-888-315-4225 I got this number directly from Cardmember services.

The last four digits of the phone number are 4225, NOT 4255.

(Edited to note that Earkid beat me to it!)
