0% APR Vacation Package Benefit
A unique feature of the Disney Premier card is a 0% APR for 6 months on select Disney Vacation Packages. That means you have half the year to pay off your trip without accumulating interest when you book with the card.
This special financing offer makes it a little easier to pay for your memorable Disney vacation.
Drawbacks of the Card
One drawback of the card is the annual fee of $49. Because it’s hard to put a dollar amount on benefits like character meet & greets, the card may not be the first choice for those who aren’t frequent Disney park attendees.
Another option is the Disney® Visa® Card, which has similar benefits without an annual fee. There are 2 key differences with this card.
First, you get a flat 1% rewards rate rather than extra points for purchases at grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations. Second, the sign-up bonus is typically less.
If you aren’t sure whether you will take full advantage of the Disney Rewards Dollars, you may find the Disney card to be a good supplemental card have.
For instance, you could use it for spending in the categories that get you 2% cash-back, and then sign up for another card to get additional benefits.
As an example, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card earns a flat 2x on all purchases.
Bottom LineIn some cases, the Disney Premier card may be a good second card. You can accumulate Disney points for some purchases and use another card for your other spending.
