New Disney Visa Promotion

[Tiggerish]

I got the offer in the mail yesterday for October-December, so I'll be switching my gas and groceries purchases from my Delta SkyMiles Amex (always double miles on gas & groceries) to my Disney Visa for the rest of the year.

My threshold is the low $250 one. I can't guess what their criteria is. I generally put all my spending on either the Disney card or the Delta card and pay them off in full each month. My cable bill, phone bill, and several other regular expenses are on the cards, and so I'm usually charging/paying over $1000 per month. Pretty much almost any bill that I would have written a check for, if they take credit cards, I put it on there and then pay it off. Even my annual contract with the exterminator gets me Disney Dollars!! I might as well get my regular expenses to contribute to my WDW addiction, right? :lol:

The way I read it, you have to spend the $250 in the four categories before the 5x takes effect, not just after you spend $250 on anything at all. With gas and groceries costing what they do, it won't take much time to get to that point. :hammer:

Yet again we didn't get the offer.

We used our Disney Visa exclusively for several years. We charged around 2000 a month and paid it off every month.

We haven't gotten any of the last several offers and when I call they always say we weren't elligible.

So out of irritation about 6 months ago I stopped using the card and we've moved on to getting United miles. At least that way we can fly to Disney cheaper!!

I sympathize with your frustration, Disneyfalcon.

This is the first time I've gotten the offer. I always thought (perversely) that we didn't get it because we were too reliable, they didn't need to offer us an incentive to use the card. :shrug:

Maybe it really is random; maybe your turn will come soon. We can only hope. :wave:

I always thought it was too. I thought the offer was for people who paid interest. But then I read all these stories on message boards about people in our situation getting the offers.

So hopefully I will get a turn sometime!!

I got the offer....but it was after I charged $500..... Come on, I barely put $500 a month on there when I charge all my payments!!!

I just got the offer with a $500 threshold

First offer I ever had

Know what really steams me though? I JUST (as in Sept 29) got back from 4 days at WDW.

I put over $400 of hotel (ran out of points at SSR ) and $200 of food on the card. Now it starts in October.

I just received a 5x offer with no threshold, but it only applies to gas purchases. I never charge gas, which leaves me wondering if they're trying to manipulate our spending habits. :lookaroun
