Keeping track of your Disney Rewards Dollars is simple: Head to the Manage My Disney Rewards Dollars page to check your balance, request or load your Redemption Card, and (for Disney Premier Visa Cardmembers) redeem toward airline travel.

How to Order Your Disney Rewards Redemption Card

And if you’re planning a Disney vacation, we recommend ordering your Disney Rewards Redemption Card at least three weeks in advance. Also keep in mind, you can have two valid Disney Rewards Redemption Cards per account at any given time.

How to Reload Your Disney Rewards Redemption Card

Reload your Disney Rewards Redemption Card to make sure your Disney Rewards Dollars are always at the ready.

Digital Redemption with a Disney Rewards Redemption Card QR Code

Want to redeem Disney Rewards Dollars without a physical redemption card on hand? You can use the Chase Mobile App to request a Disney Rewards Redemption Card in the form of a QR code to make purchases immediately. Select stores around Disney parks are updated to have a checkout device featuring a built-in camera where you can scan the QR code. Just hold up your phone with the QR code on screen and it will automatically scan, allowing you to redeem your Disney Rewards Dollars digitally in real time.

    The terms and conditions that apply to Disney Rewards Dollars are available at DisneyRewards.com/Terms and will be provided to you with your Disney Premier Visa Card once you become a cardmember.

     

    Subject to credit approval: You will earn one percent (1%) in Disney Rewards Dollars for every dollar of Qualifying Purchases (as defined below) made. You will earn an additional one percent (1%) in Disney Rewards Dollars for every dollar of Qualifying Purchases made at (i) Disney branded point of sale locations (owned and operated by Disney Rewards, LLC or its affiliates) as well as a select number of other locations owned and operated by third parties where Disney Rewards Dollars may be redeemed and (ii) at any of the types of merchants in the following rewards categories: gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants (for a total of 2% on these Qualifying Purchases). You will earn an additional four percent (4%) in Disney Rewards Dollars for every dollar of Qualifying Purchases made directly at DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or ESPNPlus.com for (a) a Disney+, Hulu or ESPN+ monthly or annual subscription, or (b) The Disney Bundle subscription, or (c) additional Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+ purchases, including Premier Access on Disney+, add-ons on Hulu, and pay-per-view events on ESPN+ (for a total of 5% on these Qualifying Purchases). Your purchase of any of these subscriptions or additional Disney+, Hulu or ESPN+ purchases will not earn an additional 4% in Disney Rewards Dollars if your purchase is made through a third-party device or digital platform (unless such device or platform redirects to DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com or ESPNPlus.com for purchase) or as a bundle with cable services or as another bundle. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ gift card and subscription card purchases that are purchased directly from DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com or ESPNPlus.com will earn an additional 4% in Disney Rewards Dollars, but such gift card and subscription card purchases that are purchased from a point of sale location other than DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com or ESPNPlus.com will not earn an additional 4% in Disney Rewards Dollars. Merchants who accept Visa credit cards are assigned a merchant code, which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa procedures based on the primary types of products and services the merchant sells. Chase groups similar merchant codes into categories for purposes of making rewards offers to you. Please note: Chase makes every effort to include all relevant merchant codes in its listed rewards categories. However, even though a merchant or some of the items that it sells may appear to fit within a rewards category, the merchant may not have a merchant code in that category. When this occurs, purchases with that merchant and the purchases of Disney goods or services at locations that are not solely owned and operated by Disney will not qualify for the additional one percent (1%) or four percent (4%) in Disney Rewards Dollars, as applicable. Purchases submitted by you, your authorized users, or the merchant through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, online or mobile digital wallets, or similar technology will not qualify in a rewards category if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in that rewards category. For more information, see the FAQs at DisneyRewards.com/PremierEarnFAQ. (“Qualifying Purchases” means the amount of your retail purchases of goods and services minus returns or refunds that qualify for Disney Rewards Dollars in a billing cycle and do not include balance transfers, cash advances and other cash-like transactions, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your Card Account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.)

When this occurs, purchases with that merchant won’t qualify for rewards offers on purchases in that category.

Statement credits will post to the card account within 3 business days of a request to redeem and will appear on the monthly Chase credit card billing statement within 1-2 billing cycles.
