Disney has been a global name in family entertainment since showing its first cartoon films in 1923. The company operates amusement parks in addition to bringing its television channels and streaming services to the public. Disney's innovative legacy has extended to its merchandise which includes gift cards. If you have a gift card and want to learn more about it, please read on.

Gift Card Tips

There are terms and conditions with any gift card and Disney's are no exception. The company offers plastic gift cards through its physical and online stores, while eGift cards are available online only. The cards don't expire nor include any fees, and they can be redeemed for most Disney products and services. There are a few exceptions as the gift cards cannot be used to pay for Disney+ subscriptions or Disney on Ice tickets. Please visit the official gift card website to view more on redeeming your gift card as the terms could be updated anytime.

Most gifts cards allow for funds transfer to another gift card as long as you have the account number and the EAN. Please keep in mind that the maximum balance allowed is $1,000.

Checking the Balance

It's good practice to check the balance on your gift card before using it and Disney makes it easy to check either by phone or online. Also, creating an account on the official gift card site is suggested because you can manage up to six gift cards, view transaction history, and more. However, it's not necessary if you would like to check the balance of a single card. You'll need the 16-digit account number and the EAN which can be four or eight digits long. If your card doesn't have an EAN, you'll need to call Disney gift card customer service here to check the balance.

Protecting Yourself

Possible scams do exist and there are a few tips you can use to protect yourself. First, no legitimate law enforcement agency nor business will ask for gift cards to settle a debt. Other signs can include being asked for the gift card number and PIN by someone you don't know who isn't a representative of the gift card issuer. Another sign is being directed to buy certain gift cards at multiple stores. Feel free to ignore such a caller and hang up.
