Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
I saw people were talking about when to pay it, can you charge it to your room card?

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
you can use your room key or cash either way I don't think they will have a problem taking it

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
I will never ever use my room key linked to my credit card. Last Dec I had my credit card linked and my DD and nephew spent $200 at the pin store in DTD. They asked if they could go in and look around. I said sure why not as I sat out on a bench. Low and behold they came out with cans of the aliens pins from toy story. Each tin is a mystery. I asked them where they got the idea to use the room key and my nephew said everyone else card was giving them free pins
 well.....I can laugh about it now.

"Yes we can". In fact, it's pretty much the default for dining plan guests.

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
My cousin ended up with a huge bill when she put a credit card on her room key. Her daughter thought they were on a Disney shopping spree! I have never put a credit card on mine. It's just too much temptation to spend more!

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
We were on the dining plan last year but I paid with cash or my credit card for the tip at every restaurant... Nice to know I can do it this year. Just never thought of doing it last year.

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
Oh that's fantastic! I'll have to tell DH that. It'll make things so much easier if we can pay ONE bill at the end. I knew you could make any other purchase but I didn't know you could put JUST gratuity on it.

Re: Gratuity- Dining Plan- Can you charge the gratuity to your room?
We always use our room key for all our purchases including all our gratuities. It is simpler for us to only have to worry about using the one card and we find it is easier to check over our bill at the end of our stay rather than waiting a month later and checking our credit card statement and trying to remember what each charge was for.
Our kids are too young to carry their own cards around, so we don't have to worry about the charging right now. But, when my sister and I were younger, our parents just gave us the card without charging privleges. As we got older and started to go off on our own a bit more, we were given cards for charging, but only for "emergencies". It was a good learning tool for us to learn the responsibility of spending and safer for us than carrying cash around.
