AbD Christmas Gift

[sayhello]

Wonders never cease I did finally receive the package, it came during the week, it was postmarked after most people had posted about receiveing theirs.

Yay!

I am still the redheaded stepchild, because we have not received anything.

Perhaps someone needs to teach ABD the wisdom of mailing everything at the same time...

Sayhello

Did anyone else receive an amazing Christmas gift from Abd? I just received a surprise package at my door from the Insiders program. I won't spoil it for anyone, but I highly suggest checking your mailboxes or your front doors when you arrive home!

Has anyone figured out how you get on the list for these kind of surprises? I have gone on 2 ABD (2009, 2010) but none in 2011 and nothing booked in 2012. I had booked Greece but ended up cancelling (I been on a cruise and we stopped at a couple Greek Islands) and instead booked Hawaii DCL cruise(Husband has never been to Hawaii) for 2012. I did get the Greece package but figured that was because I register for that trip. I am registered as an Insider. Both my trips were booked through my travel agent for their perks (Visa gift cards). Have those of you who got the Christmas Cats DVD booked your own trips w/ ABD or did you use a travel agent? I would like to know why some ABD clients get things and others don't. It is so hit and miss based on what most of you have posted here.

According to ABD, it is all based on signing up on the Insider site. But apparently there were a lot of issues with that site. This whole Insider program is being run by an outside group, not ABD (I'm not even positive if it's Disney or not). I ended up having to call ABD and they compiled a manual list of people who had signed up for the Insider site, but not gotten the first gift (Greece) so they could pass the info on to the group handling the program. I got my package not long after that. It seems to be an issue with this outside group running the program, not ABD. Perhaps ABD could have chosen a better way to have the program administered, but the actual problems are not theirs.

I am sorry but I have to disagree, the actual problems are theirs, the product is sent as ABD , the box said ABD and they have to give them a list of people to send it to. It is very easy to blame an "outside" group so they don't have to take responsibility but as far as I am concerned this is an ABD problem and they need to step up and deal with it. I am to the point that I am not sure if there is an outside company, because these are the same issues they had when they were running things.

Well, I emailed ABD about the DVD and why some got one and others did not. I got a response today that my DVD is on its way and they are sorry I was missed. So if you are still looking for this perk I would let them know you were missed.
