Did anyone receive a bounceback offer during Christmas week?

We will be traveling to WDW for Christmas this year. I would love to go back next year, but would need a great offer, since Christmas is so much $$$$$! Did anyone receive a promotional card in their room during Christmas week? Thanks!

Yes we had a bounceback offer but it wasn't for Christmas the following year...

Thanks, I didn't mean for Christmas the next year, I should have explained myself better, I was thinking late August or late October of 2009, just was wondering if they even offered the discount during Christmas week, if I should be watching for it or not. I keep telling myself I am going to skip Disney for a couple years...........who am I kidding!!

Believe it or not, in December 2006 the Bounceback was to be able to book free dining ahead for the next summer! Read this old post from December 2006:

I was not sure what board to put this on. I will put it here and on resorts board. I am just back from WDW. I read about a special offer before I left, that guests staying at Disney resorts thru Dec 31st (2006) could book the FREE FOOD offer for next Aug 5-Sept 30, 2007. There was supposed to be info in the rooms, printing out on recepits, and a reservation desk in one of the hotels. I did not bring any info with me, I assumed it would be all over the place.

I began asking about the offer at my hotel, AS Music. They never heard of it. I asked at all the Deluxe hotels over the next couple of days, as I visited to see theit holiday decorations. NOT ONE concierge/front desk had any information. Poly and GF directed me to call central reservations. One hotel told me the offer was expired, and I said no, I know it is new. I called, and was on hold for almost an HOUR, no lie. Finally I was transferred, and when I asked for details, I was told that I could not book 2 rooms. (I have 4 kids, it was only for my immediate family). I was currently at WDW with a friend, so they said she could book a room, and I could book A room. I said forget it, and hung up.

The next day, I called again, I thought, maybe I will just book the one room, and think about it. Once you are home, you cannot GET this offer, so I needed to at least book and put down a deposit. I called again, and was transferred quyickly to a senior rep or something. He was very helpful, and said of course I could book 2 rooms! ARGHH! So, I booked 2 rooms, Pop, Aug 5-11 2007 with free food and one day hoppers. For 6, 3 in each room, it was $1997, FYI.

HERE IS KEY INFORMATION! FROM YOUR ROOM, HIT 8844 TO GET THIS OFFER. Or dial 407-541-5527

The hotels WITH info on this offer are not deluxes, they are Port Orleans, Riverside, and Pop Century, I was told. It is a test.

PS, I ended up cancelling, we will use points at BCV instead, but I wanted to give others the info that took me hours to acquire! Good luck to all that can book this. That senior rep said if they get a huge response to this bounce back offer, they may not need to offer it to everyone in the spring, or they may offer only Sept, or weeks that are still under booked.

Then for December 2007 Bounceback last year they changed from offering free dining to a room discount for stays in 2008- here's another old post about that (BUT it doesn't say if the offer ran clear to 12/31/07 or not, and the flyer doesn't show it either):

Bounceback Discount Promotion

This offer is available ONLY to guests staying at one of the official Walt Disney World resorts and could end at any time.

Using a special phone number provided on a flyer provided in some resort rooms, you can book a room for stays during selected 2007-2008 low season dates (in December, January, February, March, April, August and September), at a Walt Disney World resort and receive a discount of 20% off rack rates at Value resorts; 30% off rack rates at Moderate and Deluxe resorts; or 40% off rack rates at DVC/Deluxe Villa resorts.

The specific dates reported so far include:

Moderate resorts, 30% off most nights 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

Deluxe resorts, 30% off most nights 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

DVC/Deluxe Villa resorts, 40% off for most Sunday-Thursday nights 1/6/08-2/2/08; most nights 2/24/08-2/28/08; 3/30/08-4/21/08; 8/10/08-9/27/08

If you don't get the offer on a flyer in your room, I recommend asking at the front desk. I've also seen reports that the resort TV channel was showing this offer.

Reservation for 2008 must be made before you check out to qualify, and there are no exceptions made. A deposit of one night's room and tax is required at time of reservation

We were at SSR last Xmas for 8 nights and there was a bounc back offer in the room the whole time. It was 40% off all levels I think and also 40% off DVC resorts but only in a studio. Unfortunately didn't cover this Xmas and only went up to September.
