Press Release

Chase today announced the launch of the new Disney’s Visa Debit Card. The new card gives customers access to special Cardmember perks when visiting Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resorts and when shopping at DisneyStore.com and Disney Store locations. Disney’s Visa Debit Card is available now and has no annual fee.

Disney’s Visa Debit Cardmembers will receive the following year-round perks, including:

• 10% off on select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at DisneyStore.com and Disney Store locations and at select locations at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort
• Access to a private Cardmember location at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort where Cardmembers can meet some of their favorite Disney Characters and receive a complimentary 5 x 7 photo
• 10% off select dining locations at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort (meal period restrictions may apply)
• 20% off the non-discounted price of select guided tours
• $50 onboard credit when Cardmembers pay for their Disney Cruise Line vacation in full with their Disney’s Visa Card and mention this offer
• Access to a dedicated toll-free customer service phone number

Guests can visit DisneyDebit.com/Perks for more details on these benefits.


“Disney’s Visa Debit Card is perfect for fans of Disney who prefer to use a debit card for their everyday spending,” said Ryan McInerney, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking. “With no annual fee, it provides access to Cardmember perks at Disney Theme Parks and Disney Store, and offers a choice of imaginative Disney card designs.”


“We are delighted to introduce this new debit card with Chase, which offers great value and a bit of fun for Disney fans and families,” said Jenny Cohen, Senior Vice President of Customer Relationship Management for The Walt Disney Company. “Disney’s Visa Debit Card enables us to better serve our customers with a choice of cards through Chase.”


Disney’s Visa Debit Cardmembers will receive the same security and safety benefits as the standard Chase Visa Debit Card, including real-time fraud monitoring, free security alerts, zero liability protection, guaranteed reimbursement for unauthorized purchases and Blink tap & go functionality in markets where applicable.


The Disney’s Visa Debit Card is the latest addition to the suite of Disney’s Visa Cards offered by Chase. The Disney Rewards Visa Credit Card was introduced in 2003 and earlier this year, Chase launched Disney’s Premier Visa Credit Card from Chase.

Chase checking customers can switch their current Chase Debit Card to a Disney’s Visa Debit Card by visiting their local branch or calling Chase Customer Service at (800) 935-9935.


Disney’s Visa[SUP]®[/SUP] Debit Card is available with all Chase checking accounts excluding High School and Access Checking. Standard eligibility requirements apply.

Coincidentally, I've used my Disney Visa Credit Card points that have accumulated over the past few years to buy an annual pass to WDW. I'll be heading up to the Magic Kingdom tomorrow. Report to follow. :look:

Yet another banking scam designed to get families into a financially untenable situation. Universal and many other companies are just as guilty.

I was curious until I saw it was mainly just some discounts, most of which I already get as a passholder. Earning Disney dollars on my everyday purchases, like with the credit card version, would have intrigued me more.

Look at the bright side, no annual fee.

Well I am a Chase customer already, and I don't think this is even worth it for me to call up and switch my debit card to this. I suppose it might be worth it for people who spend a lot in the Disney store in the malls, but I don't tend to buy a lot there, I mostly purchase at the theme parks. I'm still wondering who the target market for this card is.......maybe moms who buy a lot at the Disney store, with a once a year or two trip to the parks, but don't have annual passes?
