I have been watching threads here and online regarding the change in Disney’s policy regarding how they handle changers to magicbands. I was wondering if anyone has recent updates about the changes to the policy?
For example, when the policy changed, people reported that their cards were being charged a holding fee of $500 per night, on top of that any charges were being pushed through daily, essentially double charging. Many people commented that this was a glitch and that it would work itself out in a few weeks/months.
My family has always linked our magicbands to our debut card and used gift cards we saved up pre-Trip to pay off our room balance at the end. This worked great at BWV, in January. The change in policy happened in Feb/Mar, though.
So, is Disney still doing a daily holding fee and charging your account for funds used daily? Have any of you DVC fans linked your debit card recently and experience the new policy?
I am debating getting a credit card for the sole purpose of linking to our magicbands to keep the double charges from affecting my bank account. Any suggestions?
