finally got the 40% code!

[mumom95]

No, you can not stack discounts. I'm an AP holder, but every time we've gotten the dining plan I've had to give up my AP room discount and pay rack rates in order to get the dining plan. This is both when we've gotten the DDP free (Sept '05 and Sept '06) and when we've purchased it.

I also got the 40% off and the DDP for Thanksgiving of this year (2007). The code I used to get the 40% off required that you get the DDP. I didn't realize the DDP was considered a discount. I know when they have offered it free it was, but I didn't know that when you were paying for it, it was considered a discount.

don't be afraid to call themmany times to check on a code! It may pay off big-time! And they don't mind,that is their job!! Most CM's are more than happy to check for you! in fact, one I talked to the other day was more excited than I was!! And that is hard to do!!!

It is their job? Where is Trekker who was actually closing threads for less then this?

I think that calling to check for codes should be limited to once every 2 to 4 weeks.

Realistically.. any more is just overkill. They do track your calls after all. And nobody wants the 'troublemaker' tag.

I've done both the free dining (twice) and purchased the DDP. I'm an AP holder and all three times have had to give up my AP room discount in order to add dining with the CMs telling me you can not stack discounts. I know one of the 40% off codes is allowing people to buy the DDP, but that is not usual. If you add up the amount of food people order on the dining plan and consider that they are only paying $38.00/day it is definitely a discount.

Well I called tonight and got nowhere. The guy told that all discounts end in June and no I don't have a code attached to my name. So I guess for my december trip I am paying full price. That just SUCKS

You couldn't get the DDP with the AP discount because that is a room only discount. You can only get the DDP with a package whether you pay for it or get it free. When we have an AP discount on our room, we use the DDE to get a discount on our food. You can get the DDP with AAA or a discount code off a package. We have the 40% off room discount with the DDP for our trip in September.

On the airline discount, is that a room only discount? You could purchase the DDE and then get 20% off at most restaurants. It is good for a year if you plan on going back.

I received a mailer with a pin. It was actually for the campground FW. I did call and check rates at resorts using this pin..and was told the WL was available..it appears it is about a twenty percent discount. As they are chargng us 258. with the tax..I think the room goes for about a hundred more at the time we are planning to go..which was for 5/19. I am not thrilled..as only the courtyard view is available..which of course was more.
I am wondering if I should call again and ask if there are any other codes applicable to our name. Is this likely?....that we'd receive a mailer for one thing but perhaps be able to snag a discount for another time period with a better discount..does this ever happen. I do see that a previous poster mentioned that they have several reservations using a pin for different time periods. The one I received today ..which appears to be the twenty percent pin..says it's only good until 6/2. Any input you code experts may have is greatly appreciated.

This is driving me crazy!!! Can someone please PM me the code? I'm trying to make plans for early December. Thanks!

But I think you'll find they'll request a PIN number that is unique to your household to use it.

Good luck!

Dunno about that J...

I just read on another thread that someone called this morning and got it. This was after calling last night & being told no, you need the pin, blah blah blah...

 

[CanadianGuy]

Yeah I saw that JUST after I posted here.

Still the daily reports of people using it willy-nilly have slowed to a crawl. I suspect its gotten a lot tougher to do.

[d4est]

I agree! Definitely not so easy as it was 3 weeks ago.

 

[Dode]

Thanks, CanadianGuy. I tried and was basically scolded because it is not attached to my name. Just trying!

I had to add a day because of flights.When I called to book and again when i called to pay my deposit when I asked if there was a discount available for me they told me no. I even decided it would be nice if my mom could go when we did so I called to see if she had a discount. No way. I thought for sure she would have had one, she hasn't been for years. Bad karma it must be. Just thankful AAA got the Discount for the main part of our reservation.
