Roll Call for 40% off PIN (location please)

[AmyAllan&Eve]

Hello! I received a Pluto postcard with a PIN late last summer, but I wasn't able to use it. Now that I am ready to plan a trip (and needing to save money), NADA!

I am wondering if those of you who have received the 40% off postcard or 40% off e-mail (or called and had a PIN attached to your name) would be willing to share your locations. I am thinking city and state or province.

Perhaps Disney marketing is leaving Richmond, VA, out of the promotion this time. I am just trying to find some rhyme or reason to how they make their selection. I called tonight, and the CM said I did not have a PIN at this time. It gives me hope! But I probably need to be realistic, too.

With my Pluto postcard, they released the same rate to the general public soon after I received my postcard...one can hope, right?

[disney-super-mom]

I received the 40% off room email, and I live in Spokane, Washington.

[Sinderelli]

Just got one- I lve close to New Orleans, La. I won't be able to use it, though...we are going in 3 weeks & on the cruise this Thanksgiving...DH said No way! to 3 times in one year.:sad1:

[mdftjh]

I got an email and I live in Pottsville, PA!

[Tink415]

Good luck with your quest :wizard:

I used to frequently get post cards - haven't rec'd any in the last few years.
I remember last year about the same time there was a similar email pin code for discounts thru out the year - I didn't get that one..
This year I did :banana: but there wasn't much availability for the dates I needed so I have a split stay. My location is southwest CT.

[hmontgomry]

I got one, too! Columbus Ohio area :)

[G&J's Mom]

Atlanta, GA

Just got one in the mail today. This is the first one I have gotten in 4 years!!!! :upsidedow

[WANNABE@WDW]

I got one in the mail yesterday. We live outside of Baton Rouge, La. We won't be able to use it either! We are going during Thanksgiving and the discounts don't apply. Good luck to everyone!

[Blessedx3]

We got the email and live in Milan, MI.

[tripletots]

Hi, I'm south of the James in Richmond and I have NOT received an email or postcard. I keep waiting and checking and hoping.

I did receive an email code last January, I believe it came around the 16th (others had received email codes and postcards earlier than I did).

Here's hoping Richmond will be soon.

[AmyAllan&Eve]

I live South of the James, too. I sure do hope they include us soon!

[oldbay]

Email pin - Baltimore, MD area. Good luck!

[mickeymyfavorite]

Anyone from Ny-Long Island get a code, were going in July I would love to save some money. I already booked AKL room only.

I hope I get one!

[jesusluvsu2005]

Got the 40% off email here in TN.
God bless,
Mandy

[MousekaMaddi]

we go alot and never get codes, if I get one Im GOIN!
;)

[hohoz]

We live in Palos Hills, Illinois. We haven't been in about 3 years. We are going in August-staying at Pop.

[wdwnomad]

I got an email the other with the 40% pin. I live in Philadelphia, PA.

I'm not going to use it though because I booked the free dining bouceback when I was there in September. The free dining is a better deal because I am staying in a value resort plus there are two adults and children in our party.

[mtomlin66]

I live in the Philadelphia, Pa. area and got the email code 2 days ago. We're going in August:cool1: No else in my family got the code though, and boy are they annoyed!:guilty:

[raven69david]

It would have been nice to add in the responses when the last time you had been to disney world, for those that got a PIN. The way i see it, alot of people that never get a pin are the ones that go every year. Disney doesn't give them a PIN cuz they're already frequent visitors. PIN's are used to entice new customers and those who haven't been there in a while back to WDW. At least that's the way i see it.:upsidedow

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

I can't believe it but we got a postcard yesterday! :cool1: We're in NY

You would think that makes some sense - but it doesn't seem to work that way either.

Check out the siggy on wdwnomad's post just a few before yours - it says that they have stayed onsite every year for the last four years and they just got one of the 40% codes.

Once again, Disney baffles us.

What I would love to know, however, is just how many they send out for each time they do this (and also know if sometimes there are more or less).

Ah well, still hoping up here in Canada...

[jagafen]

we got a code too, and we're about 40 minutes outside of the city.....it saved us $1200 on our trip, including the one night room only rate we had to pay cause we're arriving one night before the deal was good..... :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana:

[GANUT4WDW]

:confused: Hey everyone! Thought I'd jump in here a moment and ask a question. For those of you who are getting these codes...have you ever received one before now and how long has it been since you got your last one? Also if you have gotten one of these codes ... how often do you go to WDW? :confused3

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

I have never received a code before, but we go several times a year. I still can't believe we even got one. I was literally jumping up and down when I saw the mail. It was just laying on the counter and as soon as I spotted it I freaked! I actually ripped it on accident when I was jumping around. Sad but true, LOL!!! :lmao:

[poohgirl6]

Booked the GF in Sept for a great price! We've been 9 or 10 times in last 15 years; last time in 2005. But I did order the planning DVD last week:confused3 We're in central AR (that's Arkansas, not Arizona;))

[Tess'smom]

Why do I never see anyone from NJ who got an e-mail with a discount code?:sad:

[GANUT4WDW]

I actually got one back in 2004. We first stayed on Disney property because of that code. Since then we've seen nada -- but joined DVC in early 2005. Is anyone that is receiving the codes DVC members?

[HeidiGW]

My nine-year-old daughter received one, and we live in Suffolk.
Not sure what day it came. I just saw it on the floor in my living room a few hours ago.

[Goofyswife]

Welcome to the Disboards Hohoz, another Palos Hills, IL resident here. We didn't get a postcard either, but we'll be at ASM on January 23 for four days.:yay: Just hoping for nice warm weather.

[strmtroopr96]

I received 2 of the emails to 2 different email addresses! LOL :cool1: I am in Upstate New York. We are currently already booked with the Bounceback Free Dining though. Still working the numbers to see what will give us a better deal. :confused3

We also have been every September for Free Dining since 2005, and went either every year or every other year before that for quite awhile.

Good luck to those of you still waiting!

[Disneyland_Mama]

I got the code 2 days ago via email, and booked us a 2 bdroom villa @ SSR saving us a whopping $2100! We're from Southern California - and this will be our 3rd trip since '06.

[phins_jazy]

Our first and only trip to WDW was in 06. We stayed off site. We got a postcard last year but we were unable to use it. We got another postcard just the other day and I'm still trying to talk DH into using it for Christmas. :) Oh, and I'm in Amarillo, TX.

[n2mm]

Received code after calling. (have not received an email code nor snail mail postcard). West Virginia (metro DC area).

I am not sure if this makes a difference but I always go with my sister and her kids. Some way or another we have two different "households" in the Disney system. When we booked last year my sister had the PIN under her name and phone number. We booked under her and I was included in guest under her. The previous two years I booked our trips using my name and phone number. They were guests under my name. The trip in 2005 I got an email with a PIN for the free dining before it went public. The email I just got came to me so I am assuming that is tied to my household. Maybe in the computers eyes I haven't been since 2006?

[NewJersey]

What's the subject line of the email? I'm going to look through my spam.

[barbeml]

Hopewell, NJ

I got the email pin code, just booked the Poly for $229.50 (with tax) for December.

Congrats on getting it. that's a GREAT rate for Polynesian! :cool1:

Some folks are getting a post card, so watch your mail! You can also call and the CM will check for a code associated with your name.

DH and I were incredibly fortunate to get the Poly deal back in 2002 (We were booked at CBR, WDW announced a renovation and we were upgraded to Poly for almost nothing: we paid a TOTAL of $1500 and change for 8 nights with two length of stay hoppers). We've wanted to return ever since, but could not bring ourselves to pay $400 per night. I'm over the moon!

[heidiboo]

I am in Glen Allen, VA (north of the James) and I got my postcard yesterday. This is the first one that we have had in about 7 years! Don't think we will be going but just as glad to be "included"! Our last trip was in Aug 07.

[magic mouse]

A very Nice Diser pm me the code and the CM accepted it. This is the second year of getting the 40% off code. Last year the same thing, but I had to call a few times before I got the code. I am from southern NH! We are going Dec 7 and went in December this past year.

[MMmomto5]

From Northeastern Pennsylvania here and we received an e-mail code on 1-6. The last code we got was a postcard in March of 2005. We took four trips to WDW in 2007 and our last trip was late November.

[Rags]

I got the 40% pin code. Pittsburgh, Pa:goodvibes

[winterman]

We received a post card last summer. We live in Maine. My daughter, who also is in Maine got one as well. She was able to use her's last August. My son, in Mass. has also gotten one even though he has had no contact with Disney in years.

On 1-7-08 I called Disney dining to add to my ADRs for a trip in April-May. As usual I was asked if we were staying on site. I said not yet but we are hoping for a deal so we could. When we were wrapping up the call the cast member said, 'I hope you get your deal'. The next day we got the 40% off email. Do you think there was any connection? Unfortunately the dates of the 40% do not include our dates. So for now we'll keep our 60$ rate at the Fairfield Inn and keep hoping for something on site.

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[AZMickeyfans]

I live in Phoenix, AZ and just received one today. :banana:

[ShellyLynn3630]

Lafayette, Ga- in my father in laws name, not really looking to use it anyways, waiting for free dining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gymbomom]

Email in Rockwall, TX...got lucky though... my next door neighbor received it...we are going for the first time together. She booked all 3 of our rooms on the same reservation.

[wilda]

Providence RI had a code attached to our name when I called today! No email or snail mail, glad I called...:)

[MickeyNicki]

Got my postcard about 11 days ago, Naples Florida here

[Kite222]

We got our 40% off email on Friday and after checking lots and lots of rates, booked 7 days/6 nights garden view at the Poly for $204 (before tax) per night. :woohoo:

We received a PIN email last year as well (I think it was right around this time), but our DS had some health issues that prevented us from traveling, so we couldn't use it. We were amazed and thrilled to get another PIN this year. Our DS is much better now. He will be 3 1/2 when we go in August, and his 1 yo brother will be going along too.

We're from Cincinnati Ohio. Our Disney history: DH and I day-tripped to Disneyland in 2003. Then we went to Disneyland in November of 2005 as part of a large party and stayed at the Grand Californian, but we didn't generate a hotel history since someone else booked the rooms for us.

Our first and only time at Disney World was September of 2006; we went for Magical Beginnings with our then 22 mo old and stayed 6 nights at the Pop Century. We really only went because DH had to be in Orlando for work anyway the previous week, and I had a plane ticket credit that had to be used or we'd lose it. Otherwise I don't know that we'd have gone until our DS was older. Once we got to the World, though, he just loved it and we were sold on going back.

Does anyone else who got a PIN have babies and toddlers? Maybe they're trying to hook us while our kids are really little, so we'll come back more times. :)

[Turtlegirl]
