You're comparing apples and oranges. The sign up bonus on the Disney Visa is not limited to Disney spending. Anyone can sign up for that card at any time and use it for anything to get the bonus. If you're into the credit card churning game, it's not that great of a card to burn a 5/24 slot on, since it's terrible for everyday spending and the sign up bonus is meh. However, it's a decent card to have when you're going to the parks for the 10% discount at stores and some (definitely not most) restaurants, as well as the occasional cardholder-exclusive discounts for hotels, but for the bulk of your trip spending, the gift cards are usually the way to go. You can use them for tickets, hotel, lightning lanes, and just about anything else on property.
Good deal especially combining it with Discover if it counts for a warehouse store. If you buy the maximum that's $800 in gift cards for $720 plus $36 cash back. Literally $116 of free money if you plan on going to Disney anyway.
Plus if you are staying at a Disney resort you can leave a credit card at the start then anytime 24 hours before your checkout you can go to the front desk and pay down your balance using the gift cards.
Also disneygiftcards.com, which is actually run by Disney, will let you register your cards and move balances between them. So what we do is register all the card, consolidate the money between two of them, toss the old ones that now have $0 balance, and then me and my wife each carry one. This way if we forget one in the room or lose it we can just login and transfer the balance to the other one. Although once you get used to just paying with your magic band you'll usually not take then out at all.

I know people go crazy over these Disney GCs to use at the parks but it's a better ROI (assuming you have good credit) to just get the Disney Visa. Spend $1k and get $400 back and a lot of the restaurants in the parks offer 10% off if you use the card.
This works for restaurants, but the gift cards work for park tickets as well which the Disney CC does not give a discount for.
Ok, gotcha. Can you theoretically book packages with them? That would be amazing.
You should be able to apply a gift card as payment for packages that are booked directly through Disney. I use them as a way to get a discount on annual passes (which are so stupidly expensive that any little bit helps!)...

That's good to know. I had no idea that was possible.

Combine with Discover 5% quarterly cash back for warehouse stores. I pay for everything Disney with discounted gift cards: DVC dues, AP's, DCL cruise expenses, Lightning Lane purchases, dining, merchandise, etc.

I got 2 $500 southwest like for 430 when they first had sale in 2023 year end.. I eneded up not travelling and stuck with them.. its like loosing 5% APR interest on 1000 the more I hold on to it.. but will have to somehow use it in near fiture... I rem when I see this deal..
Conveniently starts 7 days after Southwest will begin to charge for bags
Well darn. Thank you for this info because I wasn't aware of it. I don't see a reason to exclusively fly with them anymore. I almost saved this GC to my cart for later purchase.
Is there a limit on the number of gift cards I can use to book a Disney package? For example, can if I buy 3k worth of cards using my other family members' sams cards and apply all on one package?
