What Disney Visa Rewards actually look like

Both the Disney Visa and Disney Premier Visa offer some useful benefits for Disney fans.

The no-fee card is on par with others - 1 percent in cash back or rewards. But before you dish out $49 for the Disney Visa Premier annual fee, you might consider other cards without an annual fee.

For example, the Citi Double Cash Card offers 2% cash back on all purchases and there's no annual fee.

TIP: Try not to carry a balance with the Disney Premier Visa- the interest charges will eat up your profits.

Use sites like Credit.com to shop multiple credit cards at once - there are plenty of cards offering cash back and rewards for no annual fee.

Earning Disney Visa Reward Dollars

Disney Visa is average when compared to other credit card reward programs. But let’s break it down to what you would actually have to spend to earn some Disney Visa reward dollars:

• To earn 500 Disney Reward Dollars that can be applied to a Walt Disney World vacation, you’d need to spend $25,000 if earning 2% (gas restaurants and groceries), or $50,000 if earning 1%.

• To cover the Disney Premier Card annual fee you will need to spend an additional $2,450 each year on 2% eligible rewards or $4,900 on 1% eligible rewards. So those 500 Disney Reward Dollars actually cost $27,450 at 2% or $54,900 at 1%.

• If you spend $3,000 on a Walt Disney World vacation, which will earn 2% in rewards on the Disney Premier Visa, you'll get 60 Disney Reward Dollars.

• Reward Dollars can also applied toward airline travel as a statement credit. You can purchase any flight on any airline and apply Reward Dollars towards that purchase. Redemptions start at 50 Disney Rewards Dollars for a $50 airline statement credit toward tickets on any airline to any destination

Both the Disney Visa and Disney Premier Visa offer some useful benefits for Disney fans.

The card is on par with others - many offer 1 or 2 percent in cash back or rewards. But before you dish out $49 for the annual fee, you might consider other cards without an annual fee.

For example, the Citi Double Cash Card offers 2% cash back on all purchases and there's no annual fee.

The idea is to get as much as you can for things you are going to buy anyway without an annual fee.

Try not to carry a balance - the interest charges will eat up your profits. Use sites like Credit.com to shop multiple credit cards at once - there are plenty of cards offering cash back and rewards for no annual fee.

Break Even on the Annual Fee

Is the Disney Premier Visa Worth the annual fee?

If earning double rewards, you’ll need to spend $2,450 to break even on the annual fee, or $4,900 if earning 1% in rewards. 

The Retailer Name Game

Sure it's nice to get 2% in rewards on gas and groceries but not all retailers are registered with Visa as an actual gas station or grocery store.

For example, Walmart Supercenter and SuperTarget might not be considered grocery stores according to Disney Visa, they are general merchandise stores and grocery purchases will earn 1%. It depends how each individual store is registered with Disney Visa.
