New 5X Disney Rewards offer

[Wells]

Ditto! I was so excited and then...I read the small print.

Yes, make sure you read the fine print.
These offers with minimum purchases only give you the 5x rewards on amounts over the minimum.
As an example, if the offer was for 5x points for grocery purchases over $250.00 and you spent $500.00, your rewards would be;
$250.00 x .01 = 2.5
$250.00 x .05 = 12.5
Total Spent = $500.00 / Total points = 14.5
(Not 25)
Still, not bad if you spend that much.
Also keep in mind that the different catagories are exclusive of each other, in other words, the amount that you charge towards groceries is entirely seperate from the amounts you spend on air travel or gasoline or whatever else, when calculating reward bonus points.
And just one more thing, (I promise) Chase only provides administrative services for the Disney card, what the offers are, and who recieves them, is entirely at the direction of the Disney company.......

I also got the offer....I have to spend $750 per month on those items....the last promotion was $500 per month and my sister's was $250...

Not sure why there are all these different amounts.

I received the $750 on food/gas/airline tickets. Did the same offer for the summer promo and ended up with 70 bonus points. It doesn't cost anything to sign-up, so why not.

We haven't received any offers and we've been cardmembers since Day 1. Maybe it's because we charge everything on that card - they already know we're using it so why bother offering us anything ? ? ?

We just got them as well. It was for 5x the points on gas, groceries, and airfare. Minimum of 250 dollars! I signed up and bought our airfare for our wedding!

That's the same one I got. I signed up for it, even though I don't buy gas or groceries with my card. Might as well sign up in case I change my mind.

I signed up for it. I started using it to pay phone bill and monthy insurance hoping it will add up. I have a bunch of points from our dvc purchase and I'm hoping to get close enough to get the AP's. :o)

The categories are gas, airlines, food and dining. So you need to spend $250.00 a month in each, well other then the food it's not happening.

Thanks for posting this, the separate categories thing stinks IMHO.

Not near as good of a deal as I thought.
