I am so glad to hear that some of you are actually receiving the cards in less than 6-8 weeks. I called to order last week for our August trip, but the woman said they are only taking about 4 weeks to arrive and since I may want it to expire in August 06, she said I should order the first full week of July, which gives me only 7 weeks for the actual card to arrive. Now, I have hope.
DDE is definently worth it, we saved about $60-70 with it -$50, so we are up $10-20 already with a trip in Nov, and trip in April, and June 06, we should be Ok with the DDE card.
I had to call this week and was told that for for many who ordered in April when I did, they "ran out of cards" and had just sent them out to those people on Friday and Monday last week.
The good news is, it expires the end of June '06, not May. I get an extra month! It's too bad that I won't be able to use it.
The cards expire at the end of the month. When you order the card, the CM will be able to tell you the expiration date. When I ordered mine on June 6th, the expiration date was July 31, 2006.
Ordered ours on june 16th, and received the cards yesterday July 8th. About 3 weeks so they are coming much faster now. Now we will be able to use them on the 24th for the Cape May Buffet.
