The Best Disney Credit Card for Entertainment on Disney Vacations

October 1, 2021

Disney vacations offer a whole world of magical entertainment options—from dining with Characters and shopping to celebrating and, of course, exploring the theme parks. As you plan your next getaway and all the fun experiences to look forward to, you might be wondering: Which Disney credit card will help you get the most from all those activities? Look no further than the Disney® Premier Visa® Card. It gives you the opportunity to earn 2% in Disney Rewards Dollars on a variety of activities at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Disneyland® Resort.12 Here’s a helpful guide on getting the most out of entertainment purchases.

Why is the Disney Premier Visa Card the best Disney credit card for entertainment?

While the Disney® Visa® Credit Card allows you to earn 1% in Disney Rewards Dollars on purchases every time you use the Card, switching to the Disney Premier Visa Card gives you the chance to earn 2% at most Disney locations, including the locations listed below.123 That means you can earn up to twice as many Disney Rewards Dollars to redeem later, while enjoying some of your favorite Disney experiences.

1. Earn 2% on Disney theme park ticket purchases12

Earn Disney Rewards Dollars right out of the gate, just by purchasing Disney theme park tickets at the Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, including Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, with your Disney Premier Visa Card.12 Some seriously spectacular adventures await: classic attractions like Mad Tea Party and Jungle Cruise, special events like the EPCOT® International Food & Wine Festival, new additions like Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure® Park and much more.

2. Earn 2% on meals at Disney restaurants12

At Disney parks, mealtime comes with a generous side of amusement—and with the opportunity to earn Disney Rewards Dollars.12 Use your Disney Premier Visa Card when dining at popular restaurants, such as ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where you can enjoy live music while you feast. Or check out Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland® Park, where you can watch boats gliding past as you dine, or Character breakfasts at Storytellers Café in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa.

Bonus: Cardmembers also save 10% on select dining locations most days at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Disneyland® Resort when you use your card; see all of the options in the Disney Rewards Dining Perks Guide.45

3. Earn 2% while shopping at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Disneyland® Resort12

As a Premier Cardmember, you can earn 2% in Disney Rewards Dollars while shopping at Disney retailers at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Disneyland® Resort, and that’s not all.12 You can also save 10% on select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at select locations.46 So if one of your favorite vacation activities is shopping for souvenirs, you’re in luck. Spend the day browsing Disney’s one-of-a-kind stores—whether picking up a Jedi-style robe from Black Spire Outfitters or selecting a gown fit for a ball at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. You’ll go home with some amazing memorabilia and Disney Rewards Dollars to use in the future.

4. Earn 2% on select Disney outdoor activities and games12

Ready to explore other activities or want to try something new and unexpected? At Walt Disney World® Resort, you can venture to nearby Disney Resort hotels and other areas to find even more fun. Premier Cardmembers earn 2% in Disney Rewards Dollars at Disney locations such as arcades in several hotels, on poolside cabana rentals, at Disney golf courses offering club and shoe rentals and private lessons, and even on adventurous experiences like archery at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.1

5. Earn 2% while celebrating special occasions at Walt Disney World® Resort12

During your vacation at Walt Disney World® Resort, make special occasions even more memorable when you get gifts delivered to your room from Disney Floral & Gifts, order a custom cake or book a commemorative Capture Your Moment photography session. The personalized 20-minute photo session is perfect for engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries or milestone birthdays. When you use your Disney Premier Visa Card to celebrate a loved one, the Disney Rewards Dollars you earn are the cherry on top.12

    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).

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.)
