Wife wants to bring the kids to Disney next year for my oldest ones 5th birthday. Is there a card that will allow you to buy Disney Park tickets for points?

We have CapOne Venture, AmEx Aspire & Chase Ink Business. My AmEx Aspire is going to give me the hotel for "free". Was wondering if there was a way to buy the tickets with points, or do I just need to do a statement credit. Chase currently allows that at a rate of $1 per 100 points, capital one is $1 per 200 points, not sure about AmEx (new card)

That I know of, there's no method of getting reduced or discounted Disney tickets. So yeah your best bet under the circumstance is just a statement credit or "cash back"

That’s what I’m thinking, just trying to figure out if I want to drop $2k on park tickets or 200k points
Hoping someone knows of a better conversion factor than 100 points per $1.

Jesus Christ. There’s no reason a theme park should cost this much. That’s not a comment on you OP, it’s just crazy.

I do not dispute that. 4 tickets, 4 parks, water parks, memory maker (pictures package)... And I still have to buy food & drinks

I believe undercover tourist codes as travel, so you could pay with your venture and use points to get the tickets paid for.

To be fair that's really like 6 parks.

OP, I'd focus more on trying to get the flights and hotel (if staying off-site or at Marriott on property) on credit card points and pay for the park tickets.

If you get the Disney Visa from Chase, they accumulate points that they add to a redemption card that you can use for anything Disney related. Some restaurants at Disney even give you a discount for using your Disney Visa card, and sometimes they even have special discounts for Disney Visa cardholders.

My advice for going to Disney and saving money is to buy as few ‘upgrades’ as possible. The bottom tier disney hotels aren’t great but anything above that are pretty solid. Eat basic meals, don’t upgrade to character dinners, don’t do park hopper, etc. You can have a hell of a time at Disney just doing the mid grade stuff.

I wouldn't think this would be a good value at all.

You can purchase Disney gift cards at Target with your Target Red card and get 5% off, and use those to pay for anything at Disney.

The Disney Visa is the only one I know of but their earning value is pretty bad a like 1% on most things

Since you're AMEX is covering the hotel I am guessing you are staying off-site which would probably mean you're driving.

An alternative would be to fly and rent a car using your Cap 1 points and buy your tickets at a discounted price through Undercover Tourist.

The discount isn't huge but it's really the only discount website I have used and trust.
