Did anyone else get a PIN code in their email?

[IHeartTink04]

Ok, I am so new to these pin codes and have never used one before but I got one in my email today saying that I could get a $500 Disney gift card if I book a value room between March 1 and April 16th which aren't dates that I can book. But it also says "When you call, be sure to ask about packages for other lengths of stay that may also include a Disney Gift Card. Gift card value will vary based on length of stay. Also ask about great rates for other room types or Resorts, including 1 and 2 bedroom villas with homelike amenities at Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts for stays most nights 4/17/09–6/6/09." which I may be interested in. So did anyone else get this? Do you know what I might get for the dates of 4/17-6/6?

Thanks!

I got this PIN as well last fall. I am staying at POP April 19 - 24. My PIN did not start until the 19th.

I got the same email. I have an email into my DU agent to find out if we can apply it to my existing reservation, or to a planned extension of that trip which has not been booked yet, and I am waiting oh-so-patiently to hear back from her. (The combined trip crosses over the 4/16-4/17 break in the offers, so hopefully I'll be able to find out what is availalbe after 4/17.)

As my mother often told me when I was growing up, patience is not my strong suit....

We received this email in the fall as well.

FREE $500 Disney
Gift Card*
at check-in when you purchase one of these 5-Night/5-Day vacation packages which include room and
Theme Park tickets.
$ 535 per adult, based on adult double occupancy in a standard room at a select Disney Value Resort. For stays most nights 4/19–5/21/09.

We are using it for a post podcast cruise stay.

I would definitely email a dreams agent. I'm sure they'll be able to help.

Really? You can still get a gift card for fewer nights? I might have to call now...

ETA: Nope, I called and I was told it was a 5 night minimum to get the gift card. Maybe the difference was that I could only do 3 nights.

I have received 2 pin codes recently, but not this one. I am bummed too because the two I have will not work before the Podcast cruise. The one I got was 40% dates through the end of the year, but it did not have any dates until the end of May.

yeah maybe its just a 4 night min. I did receive an email with my reservation
info on it and it clearly said $400.

It seems to depend on which Cast Member you get when you call. I forwarded the email to my travel agent, and she was told it was a 5-night minimum when she tried ot book a shorter package for me. After seeing some of the posts on the boards, I decided to take a chance and called myself, and I was told that I could do 3 or 4 nights, but that the amount of the gift card depends on the number of nights. I was able to reserve a 3-night stay with a $300 gift card.

Maybe it depends how you phrase the question, since the $500 gift card that is mentioned in the body of the offer is only available with a 5-night package. However, I asked about the fine print that said "be sure to ask about packages for other lengths of stay that may also include a Disney Gift Card," and said that I only needed 3 days, and the CM was able to give me the 3-night package with the smaller gift card.
