DVC Removes the Ability to Pay Monthly Dues with Gift Cards DVC has removed from the system the option to enroll in monthly dues payments and still use a gift card to pay your dues. In previous years, you could enroll in monthly autopay and then pay your dues each month with a gift card just before the deduction of the payment. Now, DVC has indicated this will not be an option. In a statement, DVC has shared the following: While you are enrolled in Auto-Pay for Annual Dues, Disney Gift Cards and Disney Rewards Redemption Cards are not acceptable forms of payment per our terms and conditions. To make a payment with a Gift Card or Rewards card, please first un-enroll by selecting My Annual Dues > Manage Auto-Pay >
