Bounce back offer?

[fuji]

Does anyone know, if you are offered a bounce back offer offered do you have to book for same week, same hotel?

 

[asmit4]

No, you just have to book in their parameters...for instance they may say 30% off deluxes in september....

 

[fuji]

Do they usually offer the bounce back for around the same time that you stayed?

 

[asmit4]

Usually yes I think so. Last year we were there in October and I think they were giving a % off for the following October.

I think it's normally either a month before, that month, or the month after that's offered. I don't think they do something like 'stay in September and book bounceback for the upcoming March'.

They 'get' that most people need around a year b4 they can afford to come again, get time off work etc etc.

when we were there a couple weeks ago the bounce back was for dates in nov and dec of this year...which was to bad...had it been for next may we likely would have rebooked then witht he 30% off

Just to hopefully help a little, here's some examples of what is sometimes offered for Bounceback dates to guests staying at a Disney resort - though you also need to remember there is not always a Bounceback offer going on continously, they do stop and start based on WDW marketing plans

BTW this is not a complete list of every Bounceback, just some examples

At the end of last August 2007 and extended through October 12, 2007, instead of a room discount the Bounceback offer to guests staying at a WDW resort was to be able to book the Free Dining package a year in advance for the next year's dates 8/30-9/27/08. That way you were assured of getting the Free Dining package for the next year right then with just a $200 deposit instead of having to wait until April '08 to book, plus you got the best resort availability by being able to book before everyone else.

Mickey2000 previously posted a great copy of that Bounceback info that was in their resort room:

Then beginning toward the end of last October/first of November 2007 the Bounceback for guests staying at WDW resorts was for room discount incentives to book ahead for these dates: 12/9/07-12/15/07, 1/6/08-2/2/08, 2/24/08-3/1/08, 3/30/08-4/21/08, 8/10/08-9/27/08.

Info was:

HTH! Good luck to all looking for a Bounceback while they are at WDW!

 

[Wish Upon A Star]

We just returned on Friday from POFQ and we bounced back for October. It would be great to receive another bounceback for April 09 because we are going with DS and his HS Marching Band.

Last years bounceback offers would fit into our time frame for April 09.
