Another DISer on another thread asked this question and I thought it was an awesome question! Is anyone still getting emails or snail mail 40% offers??

Also I am posting a poll to find out when the EMAIL offers were sent out. Wondering if Disney mass sends these things out on a specific day...

Just trying to find a method to the madness:thumbsup2

Thanks for your help!

Got the 40% off code email from Disney Destinations on Tues, Jan 6 and then booked on Jan 8. I erroneously voted for Thurs in your poll:blush: So you can ignore one of the Thurs votes:rolleyes: I then did the right thing and voted for Tuesday:goodvibes

ETA: It wouldn't let me vote again when I tried. Sorry about that but I would've voted for Tues

The CM who told me today that I had one told me that they were mailed out on January 6th via email, but that they were still emailing them out all the time. Don't give up yet!

When I called this morning, a CM asked me to confirm my info, then in seconds told me I had the 40% code attached to my name. I didn't book anything, but when my fiance and I called back a few hours later, the CM said he didn't see the code with my name, but that I had no idea how many other people with my same name were in the system and had the code attached to their names. He was awesome, he didn't give up, and asked if we'd mind if he put us on hold to contact Guest Relations and see if they can find the code, after a few minutes he came back and said it took them a bit of digging but they finally found it. Anyway, any of the dates we could go, were during the blacked out period for the code and, the deal the CM presented to me this morning was no longer available as POFQ had no rooms left for the dates we wanted. Looks like we'll be booking tomorrow through Small World at the 4/3 deal (my fiance has them holding a room until tomorrow) and keeping our fingers crossed we can find decent air fare soon.

I couldn't wait to do the survey following our conversation with the CM because he really took great care of us. He was a fellow-Connecticut resident and was moved to FL with the military and decided to stay. I love when you get the very friendly, chatty CM's. :goodvibes

Is this just a random code or can you ask for it? What dates are it good for?

I just called and after a long period of waiting on hold, no code for me.:guilty: I havent received the Disney Destinations emails this month, which I have every other month for the last 2 years. I also havent received any snail mail. We already have a trip booked for Dec. though, I wonder if that makes a difference?:sad2:

Hi, could anyone tell me: How does one get on a list or mailings for the 40% codes? Or any discounts for that matter.
Thanks!

It is good for holiday season, too. I booked Dec. 17-26 and every night but Dec. 25 was 40% off.

I did not get the code sent to me but I just called this morning to ask if there were any codes attached to my name and the 40% code was there!
I applied it to my ressie which I had booked several months ago and saved $999.74! :cool1:

I got a code!!! I opened up my email yesterday evening, and there it was! I was soooo happy, I was laughing about how I'm changing our ressies again now that we got a code. My DH thought I was insane.

He obviously doesn't know the significance of the 40% off code!

:woohoo:

We more than likely won't be using ours and really wish I could pass it on to someone. I hate to see it go to waste :sad2: Of course this is the first one I have ever received and we were just there in June and not planning on going back for awhile.
Can someone give me an example as to what their cost is with the code?

I just got my code!! Jan. 12th 4:08p. I checked this thread two hours ago to see if people were still getting codes...i considered calling to check but didnt...lo and behold it just arrived! It must be a sign that this is our year for Disney!! (fingers crossed)

OMG I am so excited! After years of waiting for a code I finally got one today, 1/12 at about 3 pm EST! I had just requested some quotes the other day and I requested a planning DVD. I had done that in the past, as well, so I don't know what was different about this time! But we are booking for sure now for Dec! I am SOOOO excited!!! I actually did a happy dance :woohoo: :yay:

:cool1: Ahhhh!!!!!! I'm SO excited! Just out of curiosity I checked my Yahoo! email account that I hardly ever use (and don't remember signing up for anything Disney with) and there it was-in all it's beautiful email glory:worship: -the elusive 40% off email with my name, and a code just for me!!! I screamed and DBF came running in the office thinking something was wrong-but as soon as he saw the email he said to go ahead and book our December Trip!!!!

So be sure and check EVERY email you have!!! The email was sent on Wednesday and was just sitting there, for 5 whole days without me even knowing about it!!!!!:rotfl: (and all this time I've been sweating it out checking my other email every hour!!!)

:dance3: :banana: :yay: :woohoo:

I'm sure this has been asked before, but just which number is everyone using to check to see if a code is attached to their name. Every time I call, I am either told they can't look up codes anymore or they don't give out that information unless I can read them the code I've received. :sad1:

I just called!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the 40% for Dec. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

The CM was so nice. I asked her if possibly I had 40% off code like last year. She started saying "I wouldn't know" then "wait let me see", and then "yes, looks like you do have one"

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

I am so happy to see that Disney is still handing out codes. I still don't have one. Boo hoo! I will call in the morning to see though. Maybe when I get home from work I will have one in my inbox???? A person can hope.

PP asking what number to call -- I just called the normal ressie number on the Disney website. I don't have it on me right now...though I did program it into my cell...which is on the charger. Anyhoo what has worked for me has been to offer a front story -- some friends of mine have received codes...really want to book a trip but with the economy so bad don't know if it will be possible without a discount of some sort...etc. So far I've called twice and both times they have checked for codes. The second CM was sooooo friendly and nice and I could tell she was really looking for me. She searched our names, dates of travel and other stuff. She was so great I booked our trip through her with the plans to cancel if we don't get a deal of some sort.

Have a great night everyone and again -- congrats to all on their new codes. Im green with jealousy:thumbsup2 !

I still have yet to receive an email or the flyer via snail mail. But when I called last week I had a PIN attached to my name.

I got an email from Disney Destinations on 1/13, but it didn't have the pin in it. I still wouldn't know I had it unless I called....
