Why would anyone use Option #2?
If I have $100 in my DVA, then Option #1 nets me a $105 Disney Gift Card, which I can immediately use to pay off $105 toward a vacation. If I use Option #2, my $100 DVA balance will pay only $100 toward a vacation.
In short, DO NOT Use Option #2.
Some other stray observations:
- The funny thing is that Disney Gift Cards are accepted as deposits into DVA. So a $100 DVA balance deposited from a Disney Gift Card yesterday can now become a $105 Disney Gift Card today.
- We should net a few $ from this, as I deposited some $$ from a GC earlier this year to pay for a throwaway room that was part of a trip that ultimately postponed. The room charge was refunded to my DVA, and that balance should net the 5% bonus via Option #1.
- We have an upcoming room-only reservation, that I might have paid off through DVA sooner than the due date, in order to trigger the 2% bonus. So Disney would have had their $$ sooner. With this change, we will wait until the due date to pay.
