Do you have to book ressie w/Pin code by a certain date?

[BC]

I received the email/PIN code and wrote it down and then accidently deleted my email. I have the code info and I know it was for ressies thru like the 19th of December, but I can't remember if there was a timeframe that they had to be booked by. If anyone has it, please let me know. Thanks!

There was no "book by" date on my e-mail.

I just read my e-mail and there was no "book by" date, but it does state limited availabilty. I'd say that the longer you wait, the less chance of getting the room for the dates that you want.

I actually asked that when I called to make my reservation and the CM told me that I could book up until 12/19/2004....of course, there was very limited availability then, so as stated above, I'm sure the longer one waits, the less availability.

Correct as stated in the last 2 or 3 posts BUT try to find the email b/c when you use this PIN they will want to see your email when you check in. See my post on this section concerning a problem I had today w/a booking for a client...(I'm a travel agent). All of the agents I have spoken to said to make sure my client brings a copy of the email w/them. One agent told me they won't honor it w/o a copy of the email.
Good luck to you!

I'm wondering if they are truly going to enforce the rule that you need a copy of the e-mail when you check in. A number of DIS'ers on other posts have stated that they didn't receive an e-mail, however when they called, CRO informed them that they had a pin number associated with their name.

I'd definitely check on that if/when you decide to make a reservation.

I called CRO before I received the postcard, and I asked the CM if there was any way I could get a discount because I've read that many people had received postcards and emails. The CM explained that there would be a code/PIN listed in their computer system in my personal record if one was available to me. So he checked my record and there was nothing listed at that time.

A few days later I received the postcard, in my maiden name and current address. When I called CRO and gave the CM my PIN number, she called up my record and couldn't find a discount. So she searched by PIN number and noted that the PIN number is associated with a different last name. (I explained and she said it is fine....). So, yes, they can chart whether you've actually received a discount offer or not. At least they could with me so I'm assuming they can with others too. But I'm still bringing my postcard to checkin, just in case........
