2013 Free Dining Watch

[ABuehrlen]

Have they said when FD will be announced for non card holders yet?

How long does it usually take to get the confirmation email? Changed my reservation earlier but still waiting to get the confirmation with the free dining I've changed some dining reservations and they came through immediately. Hoping it's just computer backups with the amount of calls, but don't know when/if I should call back just to confirm. Thanks!!

It took mine an hour to come through and I know this because when I didn't see it immediately I called back and waited on hold and then saw the confirmation e-mail.

The October - December free dining dates are not usually not released until July, sometimes August. I haven't heard anything that would indicate that they won't be offering FD for select low crowd weeks during that time frame. If they release November FD dates this year, I would say they would be around November 10-21 and November 29 or 30 - December 5 or 6 - give or take a day

Unfortunately Chase Visa is not known for their prompt website and emails in regard to discounts.

Really feeling like I am missing out this morning. I am currently booked at pop oct 5th to oct 12th . Should I just keep my fingers crossed and wait or book fd for late sept today since I am visa card holder.

With this current offer, would someone checking in on September 25th be eligible for free dining for the duration of their stay, even though the rest of their stay is outside the offer dates? I know this is how it's worked in the past, but I remember reading rumors that free dining offers this year may include the caveat that your entire stay must fall within the offer dates.
