Can you use someone elses 40% off PIN

[tank27]

My neighbor got a 40% off pin today and is not planning to go back to WDW. She said if i wanted it I could have it. Can i use someone's PIN if they are not going with me?

I'm pretty sure it's a no. We just received an email with a 40% discount (PIN # provided) and it clearly states Non-Transferrable.

How about this: I booked a trip last Feb. using my name-of course! We took my 9-year old niece, who has a different last name. So there were 3 members of our group with one last name, and one that was different.

This morning, I wake up to a 40% PIN code! BUT, it says, "Xxxx family", with my nieces's last name!!

Why is it addressed to her??

This has happened to us also. We took a cousin with us a few years ago (different last name), and he was considered a "junior" for the room. We got a pin code in his name at our address this week, but we haven't called to see if we can use it yet.

Well, my husband called this morning and the CM said we couldn't use the PIN because it was attached to his cousin's name, even though it was our address. The CM then tried to get him to go ahead and book a room, but he declined as the main reason we're looking into a WDW vacation now is the code.

The persons name with the PIN must be on the reservation.

Must be something about ppl tagging along! We forced some friends of ours to go with us last year & they got a code last week Not us though...they know that we're the suckers that will come even without a code

Don't like to be shady but can you say that it is "x" when really it is "y"

I have a question about this. When we signed up for Disney Destinations newsletter, my wife did it (about 4 years ago). She used her first name and my email address. Well, now that we are divorced, the email still came to me. It has her first name and mentions my last name. What are the odds that they will let me use it?

You mean like book a vacation using someone else name?!?
Well that would make a difficult check in at your resort when everything would be under the other persons name, including their credit card number and tickets to the parks.

slim to none. She has to be on the reservation.

My husband didn't mention the name on the code when he called, but it was connected to his cousin's name in their system. So no. We were hoping it would work since it was sent to our address, but apparently the codes are attached to the names. Seems to be a lot of wasted money in mailing these things out to people who can't use them.

Man this 40% of thing is killing me. I waned to upgrade from ASM to CR. This is the whole reason I want the code. I didnt even call because I think i remember the CSM telling me the person needed to be on the reservation

Codes are NON transferable, no matter what. When you give the CM the code it pulls up a name. If its not your name, youre not using it. Only exception is if its a spouses name of childs name and YOUR name is also in disney's household system

 

[duffy]

So here's what happened: I called, and made no mention of any last names, other than my own. I told her I had a PIN code for 40% off. She asked me what it was, I read it off to her. That's all there was to it!

So, we're booked for Nov. 15th-20th, at Pop Century!!

The CM didnt verify the name on the pin was you? They can still charge you regular price when you show up to check in, just like if you book an AP rate and dont have an AP or book a FL rate and dont have a FL id. Gotta love new CM's though

Well, I called back, to change our dates.

I really wasn't planning another trip so soon-we were there last Feb.-but could not resist such a chance. I did ask, and really, all the email says, is "C_____ family..." blah, blah, 40% etc.

I just gave them our names, and asked if it mattered that our last names were different than the one in the email. He said no.

Oh, and I changed our dates to 11/29-12/5.

No...I mean like exchange the child's name that got the code for one that is going with you. It's not as though the child that got the code could even use it if they wanted to

I would have originally thought no, but it would appear some folks are having luck using other peoples PIN codes so I would call and try! Good luck!

 

[duffy]

The code didn't even actually come in HER name, it was addressed to the C____ family. My last name is different.

I was there in Feb., but I can't remember: will they make me show i.d. when I check in, to prove that I am a member of the C____ family?? They said the code was fine, I can't believe they'd not honor it at check in.

The email came to my email address, but is addressed to my niece. She's 10! She has no driver's license or other i.d.

This is what I get for taking her with me last Feb.: aggravation now!!
