How to go to Disney World without breaking the bank in 9 easy steps using Fetch
1. Download Fetch, America’s Rewards App
Fetch is a rewards app that lets you earn points from everyday purchases, which can be redeemed for a wide range of rewards, including travel gift cards and Visa cash cards. It’s easy and fun: simply snap photos of your receipts, earn Fetch Points, and redeem them for rewards. But that’s just the beginning. Fetch offers numerous ways to rack up points beyond just scanning paper receipts. With features like Fetch Shop and Fetch Play, you can supercharge your points earning and reach your Disney dreams even faster.
Here’s how Fetch works:
- Download the app: Available for iOS and Android, the Fetch app is free and easy to set up.
- Snap those receipts: Earn points by submitting receipts from grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and more.
- Connect your eReceipts: Automatically upload digital receipts from online shopping sites like Amazon and Walmart.
- Redeem for rewards: Use your points for travel gift cards and Visa cash cards, which can be used for travel expenses, park tickets, and more.
2. Redeem Visa cash cards for Disney expenses
While Fetch doesn’t offer Disney-specific gift cards, you can redeem points for Visa cash cards, which offer much more vacation flexibility. These Visa cards can be used anywhere, including airlines, hotels, and at Walt Disney World itself. By strategically redeeming your Fetch Points for these cards, you can cover significant portions of your Disney vacation, including:
- Flights to Orlando
- Hotel stays near the parks
- Park tickets and dining experiences
- Souvenirs and more!
3. Snap every receipt—maximize your earnings
The simplest way to rack up points in Fetch is by snapping every receipt. Fetch accepts receipts from all your favorite places, including grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and more. Even if some receipts only earn a few points, the more you snap, the more your points grow.
Fetch also partners with some of your favorite brands, like General Mills and Pepsi, allowing you to earn bonus points when you purchase their products. For example, you can score extra points by picking up items like Cheerios or Doritos. Be sure to check the app regularly for featured brands and products that offer bonus points on your purchases.
4. Link your eReceipts for online purchases
Shopping online has never been easier—or more rewarding. Fetch allows you to link your email account or Amazon and Walmart accounts to capture eReceipts automatically. This means you can earn points from your online purchases without needing to upload receipts manually.
To link your eReceipts:
- Go to the Fetch app and navigate to the “eReceipts” section under “My Account.”
- Connect your email account or specific retailer accounts (like Amazon or Walmart).
- Fetch will automatically scan and apply points from your eReceipts for online purchases.
This is an excellent way to guarantee you’re earning points from all your shopping, both in-store and online.
5. Earn points through Fetch Play
In addition to snapping receipts and linking eReceipts, Fetch offers Fetch Play, where you can earn points just by playing the world’s best mobile games. By partnering with top gaming publishers, Fetch allows you to play your favorite mobile games and earn points at the same time.
Fetch Play is a fun and engaging way to keep accumulating points during your free time, bringing you closer to your goal of a less costly Disney vacation.
6. Shop online with Fetch Shop
Another fantastic feature of the Fetch app is Fetch Shop, which allows you to earn points while shopping online. Simply browse your favorite retailers through the Fetch app, make purchases, and earn points like never before. From apparel to electronics and groceries, you can now shop through the Fetch app and maximize your points with every purchase.
Fetch Shop connects you to major online retailers and brands, giving you more opportunities to boost your points. Some stores even offer exclusive bonus points for shopping through Fetch Shop, helping you earn rewards faster.
7. Share your referral code to earn bonus points
Fetch’s referral program is one of the quickest ways to earn a huge amount of points. By sharing your unique referral code with friends, family, or coworkers, you can earn bonus points when they sign up and snap their first receipt. The person you refer also gets points as a reward, so it’s a win-win.
Here’s how to make the most of the Fetch referral program:
- Share your referral code with friends and family.
- Explain the benefits of Fetch so they’re encouraged to sign up and start snapping receipts.
- Post your referral code on social media or within groups to widen your reach.
Every successful referral can earn you thousands of points, significantly boosting your Fetch point balance.
8. Take advantage of special offers and promotions
Fetch features special offers and promotions where you can earn extra points by purchasing certain products or participating in limited-time deals. These offers often appear in the app’s “Discover” section and can include anything from buying a specific brand of cereal to shopping at certain retailers.
To maximize your points:
- Check the Fetch app regularly for new promotions.
- Plan your shopping trips around these offers.
- Take advantage of seasonal or holiday promotions that often offer even higher points.
Stacking these special offers with your everyday purchases can skyrocket your Fetch Points balance in no time.
9. Plan your Disney vacation during off-peak seasons
To make your Fetch rewards go even further, consider planning your Disney trip during off-peak seasons. Walt Disney World often offers discounted rates for park tickets and hotel stays during slower months, like late January, early February, or September. You’ll not only save money but also enjoy smaller crowds and shorter wait times for your favorite Disney attractions.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for special Disney promotions or seasonal discounts that align with your planned travel dates. It is best to book your Disney vacation numerous months in advance for the best deals.
