Chase Bank and Disney have partnered again to launch a third co-branded credit card, called the Disney Inspire Visa.
With a $149 annual fee, it’s also much more expensive than those other two Disney cards. But its generous reward rates, multiple statement credits and various discounts can easily offset that cost.
Rewards
The Disney Inspire card’s ongoing rewards make it a great card for Disney purchases and a decent choice even for everyday use. It earns the following rates, in the form of Disney Reward Dollars:
3% back at most other U.S. Disney locations and gas stations.
2% at grocery stores and restaurants.
1% on all other card purchases.
Disney Reward Dollars earned with the card may be redeemed for Disney theme park tickets, resort stays, Disney Cruise Line packages, purchases at DisneyStore.com and statement credits toward airline purchases, among other things. One Disney Dollar is worth $1 for all redemptions.
Statement credits
The Disney Inspire card offers $420 in annual statement credits and Disney Dollars, more than double the card’s annual fee.
$100 statement credit after spending $200 per anniversary year on U.S. Disney theme park tickets.
Up to $120 annual credit on Disney+, Hulu and Plus.ESPN.com purchases.
200 Disney Rewards Dollars after spending $2,000 per anniversary year on U.S. Disney Resort stays and Disney Cruise Line bookings.
As of this writing, new cardholders also get a one-time welcome bonus in the form of a $300 Disney Gift Card eGift upon approval, plus a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Yes, many of these perks are contingent on spending with your Disney Inspire card, but the spending requirements are easily attainable if you’re using the card to pay for a Disney vacation.
