Disney launched a new version of their Chase credit card. The new Disney Premier Visa Card now earns you 2% in reward dollars on card purchases at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and most Disney locations. You will still earn 1% on everything else. Unfortunately they charge a $49 annual fee on this card which could make it less appealing to you.

Since we are an existing Disney Rewards Visa Card holder, we got an offer in the mail to receive 5% in reward dollars on card purchases at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and most Disney locations for 90 days. In order to break even since we paid a $49 annual fee, we must charge at least $980 at one of the qualifying locations. Since we spend $500 a month on gas (for 3 vehicles), we decided it could easily be done and it would be beneficial to us to upgrade to the Disney Premier card. Based on our budget, we will earn approximately $165 in 3 months just by charging our grocery and gas purchases on the card.

So which card should you personally choose if you do decide to apply for a Disney Visa? Here’s a breakdown of perks (I will bold the difference between the Disney Rewards and Disney Premier):

Disney Rewards Visa Card

• $50 Disney Gift Card after first use of the credit card
• 1% in rewards dollars on all card purchases (that means you will get $1 per every $100 you charge)
• No limit to how many reward dollars you can earn.
• Redeem your rewards for most everything Disney including your vacation to the theme parks, Disney tickets, Disney dining, and more
• No blackout dates when redeeming your rewards

• And much more!

Be sure to check out the complete list of perks for each card before you make a decision. And remember the credit card is not worth having if you can’t pay it off every month because interest will end up negating any Reward Dollars you earn for Disney.
