^^^ Well, unless things change in the future, it looks like we have our answer. Currently, you still get a gift card.

Whilst it may seem like semantics, there is a difference between a $200 gift card & a $200 room credit. First & foremost I can't see how you can have a room credit without setting up room charging. As I mentioned previously, if this was going to happen then surely it would be Direct guests first. My last point & this isn't semantics, anyone that says that it's going to be on "Your magic band" clearly doesn't know or understand what a MB is- it is purely a way to access your MDE account, it doesn't store anything ,if it did then old ones would be obsolete.

EDIT: Isn't there also a voucher for early entry to WWOHP if you book with VH?
According to another thread, the early entry to WWOHP is no longer a valid offer.

Yeah I just saw that and confirmed this is correct with VH. Disappointing, but what can you do...

The (logical) semantics comment was regarding the statement "storing the money on your MagicBand" versus the more factually correct statement "storing the money to a room account linked to your MagicBand". It wasn't about gift card versus room credit.

See above. Nothing is stored on the MagicBands.

The implication was that the money would be stored on your room account. That room account is linked to any MagicBands linked to your MDE account. Therefore, you will be able to charge things to your room using any Magicband you have, old or new, and use the $200 stored on your room account to pay for these things. You wouldn't need to get, nor use, a gift card to receive this $200 - just your Magicband.

However, it sounds like you may still get a gift card - see the earlier post.

I hope this isn't true. I was hoping to hang onto the gift card for our next trip.

No actually it was semantic
or arising from the different meanings

Pedantic
overly concerned with minute details

So it was semantic in the sense that a gift card is exactly that , I'm not really bothered about the details
