It's not really related to trip planning so posting the info here under General Chit Chat (admins, feel free to move if it should go under News and Rumors). Received this email yesterday informing me that the Disney Movie Insiders rewards program is coming to an end in December with the last chance to earn points being next week, Tuesday, Sep-6. It's really too bad; I've been in the program since its original inception and have redeemed points for a variety of items over the years but had been stockpiling for some of the bigger reward offerings. Guess I know now why nothing spectacular has been available for a while. Link to the FAQ: Disney Movie Insiders Sunset FAQHere's hoping they do as they say in the FAQ and add some new, decent rewards for members to spend their points on. Last night, I ordered a book and submitted some entries for the $5000 gift card sweepstakes to burn off some of my plethora of points but would love to scoop up gift cards or movie tickets or something other than "stuff" with what I have left before they vanish into thin air. Edited to add: The site says to stay tuned for a new Disney+ Perks program "coming soon" so it appears they're now tying any kind of rewards or perks to being a Disney+ subscriber (which we are, for now). It'll be interesting to see what that entails.

I received the same email. Can't say I was surprised. It was easy to earn point when we were buying DVD's regularly and even going to the movies more often. I don't think I have too many points at the moment but will def log in and see what's being offered. I may use all the point to enter for the GC.

Yeah, not terribly surprised but a little sad to see a rewards program go away and like several who posted on the Facebook announcement, I was kinda saving up and hoping to use our points on that studio tour reward (or just some big reward that caught my eye). Most of the points we've earned the past few years have been from things other than buying movies for the home collection, mostly movie ticket purchases or "bonus points" from the monthly newsletter, my birthday, linking our Disney+ subscription, or the occasional/seasonal puzzles on the site where you earned points. One of the Facebook posts mentioned a $100 Disney gift card for 11,000 points if you're a Disney+ linked member. Unfortunately, that was long gone before I even saw the sunsetting email and looked at the available rewards. There was only a $5 gift card left at the time and I skipped that...currently, there are no gift cards available for redemption and I'm hoping those are some of the rewards they replenish as I'll gladly take gift cards to put towards dues or the next trip.

I got lucky and got in while the $100 gift card was available. I grabbed that, three $5 gift cards and then put the rest towards entries for the $5000 sweepstakes.

That’s a shame. Though not surprised, and I usually forgot to log in my purchases anyway…
