40% discount code - Call and asK!

[BAST]

I noticed all the talk of the 40% discount codes last week. Since I have moved since the last time we "officially" (we rented points in 2005 and 2006) stayed at WDW in 2004, I thought I would call and see if we had the magic code.

AND, we did. Just saved about $925 off my AAA discounted trip (and $1,377 of a regular price trip). Dates are August 12 to August 21. Poly garden view rate is $204 a night (plus I was able to add the dining plan).

Morale of the story - Call and ask.

I just called & she searched my name & my maiden name too. No codes, oh darn!

And I had to change my email address yet again to the correct one. And I just changed it on January 2nd.

My speculation is that we got this code because, according to WDW records, my last visit was in 2004. Hopefully, you will get one at some time soon. I did read that they are still mailing out these codes to various people.

I called yesterday - no code on my name. Used AAA, but still hoping to get a 40% off e-mail or postcard.

I've called 4 times in the past two days. DW called 3 times. Same answer every time...NO

I called last Monday & I had a different code attached to my name. I called on Saturday & I was no where in the system?? This had never happened before. So they put me in again, but needless to say, I now have no codes attached to my name at all??!! Not that I could use the other code, but now it's totally gone.

I called today & no codes, but totally different email address than I had in there or what I gave them on Saturday?! What the heck?!

 

[mommykds]

No codes for me either.

Can I ask if you had to rebook through AAA using the code? I currently have a AAA reservation but called WDW and they said I had a code attached to my name but wouldn't give me any info on it since the reservation I was asking about was through AAA. Can my TA get the info for me and possibly apply it to my current reservation? How did yours work?
Thanks!

Dh called for the last 4 days and asked about a code attached to our name. I finally broke down and called tonight, it took me about an hour but I got the 40% off code. Make sure you check your name, and anyone else's name in the house!

Kris, I answered in another thread. The short version is yes, depending on availability, because it would be a new reservation

No - my reservation is directly with WDW. I will call and cancel my AAA reservation shortly.

I booked using AAA discount over the weekend. I called this evening....nothing yet. I have a dvd on the way. I have updated our profiles again too. I even began building an itinerary with that horrible interface.

I could really use a deal! I would love to book OKW, but even with AAA, it's still too pricey.

 

[johnnyr]

Does anyone know when the 40% offer expires?

Does anyone know when the 40% offer expires?

The offer that I received by email said to book by 3/31...

 

[LuvsTinker]

I posted earlier today in this thread about calling yesterday and no code with my name.

Got home from work today and 40% off postcard was in the mail!

Keep trying and hoping.

 

[johnnyr]

Do you think it matters if you already have a reservation that it is likley you will not receive the 40% offer?

 

[gottalluvmickey]

Keeping my fingers crossed for the code!!! Come on baby, send it my way! I'm calling tomorrow.

 

[BabyFu18]

I haven't received a code in the mail or email yet and no code attached to my name at this point, but I am not past calling multiple times if it means I might be able to get a discount. I think I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens, no harm in asking (though I have spoken to some CM's to act as if they've never heard the words "pin" and "code" before.)

Last year, I had already booked a trip and the same day that we changed our existing ressie over from a AAA discount to the Disney Visa code, we got a pin code in the mail that was the same discount as the Disney Visa code was. So, it doesn't seem to matter if you have a ressie already.

I already had an AAA reservation when I called and got my 40% off code.
