Calling all experienced pinners - pin restrictions advice?

[WDWBW09]

What are the rules regarding the pin. Can I use the pin more than once? Can I use it for one night stays at multiple resports such as one night at the GF and one night at the CR? What is the weekend restriction that is mentioned on the WDW website?

Thanks to the experienced pinners in advance...

I can only go with experience, but I used a 40% pin code on 3 different ressies in a 10 day time span. We stayed at Pop our first nite, then rented points to stay at the BC. Then I used it for our room when we moved over to POR. My sons flew in on the last weekend, that we were there, and I was able to book them a room with our 40% off. We were going to leave the last 2 days to Miami, because we were going to the Nascar Race in Homestead. We decided to drive down and just come back, and we were able to extend our stay with both rooms with my pin code.

So that is my experience with a pin code. As long as the pin code was in my name, I could basically use the code how I wanted and I booked the rooms in my name, and told them, who was staying in each room.
(my dh almost killed me, for making 3 different resorts/split stays, he likes to stay put).

They can be used multiple times, as long they are used within the booking and travel time frames.

It depends on the terms of your pin, and if it expires, the black out dates, etc.

My pin was a 30/35/40, expires at the end of 2010's blackout window (must book by 12/16/2010). Right now we have 3 ressies, one room only on a blackout night when we fly in late. Then we check in early the next morning for our package stay YC/CL (Pin), then 1N at AKL (Pin). They told us we could use the pin as many times as we wanted until it expired, and book up to 3 rooms at a time. We can also share our pin with a friend by holding their reservation - then having them call in to make the deposit. He did indicate that this isn't allowed with all pins, some expire - some have more limitations. I will say that in our case, we didn't have very many rooms in the deluxe category to choose from - most were sold out in our pin category. He said our pin code type had been around for a while.
