I believe Bank One was the first issuer of the Disney Visa. Not sure when Chase took over
It merged with Chase in 2004.

I'm a day one member.It was Bank One. If you signed up at the launch of the card you got, "Member since Day 1" in place of the open date. Kinda neat.
But none of the other cards have Mickey's picture on them!Agreed. We have had this card for years and it now sits in the safe never used. There are other cards that have better rewards with no fees. I would go with another card.

I always like to remind everyone that reward perks are all "relative"...
...as in order to get perks, you have to blow tremendous amounts of money.
"Going broke saving money"
I mean, I get what you're saying, but not necessarily.
We use our Disney Premiere Card for everything, no matter how big or small a purchase. It's money we would be spending regardless. Gotta buy groceries, gotta pay the internet bill, etc.
We aren't the type of people to get suckered into "If you spend $20 more dollars you'll be able to get 10% off your total purchase" at the Disney Store either. I think that falls into the whole "going broke saving money" mentality.
And while that is a perk of the card, it's not the only perk.
We know we could be getting more back using other cards, but we already have this card...we don't want multiple cards.
Is this card even worth the trouble? I got it about a year and a half ago, and didn't expect it to provide huge discounts, but can't really see any benefit out of it besides the initial gift card.

ANY card perks on ANY card are not worth it unless you pay off your balance every month.
That being said, we have the base Disney card and like the perks! If you use it for the variety of Disney items it can be far more valuable than other cards.
Here are perks for the regular card off the website:
Cool Disney and Star Wars cards
$50 statement credit
1% cash back on all purchases
2% cash back on grocery and gas stations
0% apr on Disney vacation and special financing on DVC
Special promotion on Disneyland vacation packages this year
At Walt Disney World:
Special Character Meet and Greet
Special Disney Character Meet and Greet
10% discount on merchandise in the parks and at the Disney Store
10% off select dining
Discount at certain coffee, tea, merchandise locations
15% off select guided tours
10% off select recreation experiences
15% off select spa and salon locations
Also similar perks at Disneyland and on Cruises. AND the premiere card has higher percentages and more perks!!!
We also use ours only for the photo ops, which are very limited now.We only use ours for the free photo at EPCOT, when the line isn't long. I also recently learned about the 10% discount at Disney Store. When the card first debuted 15 years ago it seemed to have had slightly better perks, but not much.
Is that from the Chase website? I'm having trouble finding anywhere that the free card gets a $50 statement credit and earns 2% on grocery and gas stations. Everything I'm reading at Chase.com says the free card can earn a $200 Disney gift card after $500 in purchases and it earns 1% on all purchases. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a special promotion that for some reason I can't find. I know if you switch from the free card to the Premier card you get a $50 statement credit the first year and earn 2% on gas, groceries, and restaurant purchases.
Disney needs to just make their own loyalty program..add a partner like chase UR or MR then we can talk about co branded cards
It was called the Magic Kingdom Club, nixed in 2001.Disney needs to just make their own loyalty program..add a partner like chase UR or MR then we can talk about co branded cards
Before I was an adult unfortunately, yeah I don't think Disney needs it.. especially a transfer partner ..but I can keep dreaming.It was called the Magic Kingdom Club, nixed in 2001.
