Can we use mom's PIN?

[NYEmomma]

Background: I called last week and booked a vacation package with 3 rooms -- 1) me, DH & DD; 2) mom & dad; 3) brother & g/f.

Today my mom got a PIN for our vacation dates for 10% off. I've read that PINs can be applied for up to 3 rooms. So can I call and use her PIN for all of our rooms?

Anyone know??

As long as your mom is going, yes you can apply the PIN. Used to be available for up to three rooms, don't know if that is still the case.

Be careful though, have the CM reprice each room with the PIN. You can't combine discounts, so if you already have a special on one or all of the rooms the 10% PIN might not be as good of a deal. If you are booked at rack rate however the 10% might be a savings for you IF there is PIN code availability at your resort for your room type. You might have to change room type or resorts though, not every resort or room type is available for discount codes.

This. Great advice. I also believe your mom has to be the one to call since it is her pin.

This might not be true....my mom is going with us and I was able to call and have them apply her free dining pin to the package I'm paying for

Yes, this was our experience as well. They just checked to see if anyone in our party had a pin and voila changed the package for us, since she was indeed joining us.

Fabulous -- thanks for the advice, guys!!

I was going to call today but ended up with a sick 2yo and spent the afternoon scrubbing puke out of the carpet.

I wish we were lucky enough to not get excited over a 10% discount, but that's the best offer we've received (and that's been valid for our dates) so far, so I'm taking it while we can.

Though still secretly crossing my fingers for FD to come out sometime in the future.

Just an FYI for anyone reading this in the same situation -- I just got off the phone with the CM and they had no problem at all applying the discount to all our rooms. Saved $100 each... not the best discount there is, but the only one we've received so far, so I'm happily taking it!

Hold out hope!!! I hope you're able to apply a better discount!

Oh, I know, I'm just biding my time!

I looked at this historical release dates for FD for October and it seems like they typically aren't released this early. So I'm not getting too bummed yet. I won't be bummed until we get to WDW with our measly 10% discount... and by that point I'll be in WDW so it'll be impossible to be bummed!
