Got the Code... But Can't Use it for 24-48 Hours?!?

[lurkyloo]

Has this ever happened to anyone? I got my first-ever offer-code email yesterday, found it today. When I called, they said the code wasn't "loaded" yet and I have to call back in 24-48 hours. Of course now I'm convinced the dates I want will be sold out then....

Does this happen a lot?

Hmmm, I wonder if it's a new offer that isn't in their system yet? That is weird. Can you share the offer, not the specific PIN number, but just the general offer.

 

[lurkyloo]

Yes! I think it may be the same 40% off everyone else is getting. It says $119 per night at a Value for 2/14 and 2/18-3/15

OR 40 % off
2/2
2/24-3/1
3/30-4/12
8/10-9/27
10/19-11/1
1/9-11/15
12/7-12/13

We're already going in Sept. with bounce-back free dining, but this may make us add days...

Sure wish I would get one, we are going 2/24 - 3/1 and could sure use 40% off. I guess I will start calling next week and see if we get lucky. It would really make a difference in our souvie money

Well....it does look like the same offer. Call back tomorrow and let us know what they say! Good luck and congratulations on getting the great offer.

Would you mind posting the 'generals' about your email (I'm not asking for specifics) but who is the email from? what is the subject?

I keep checking my email constantly and I don't want to overlook something!

I get stuff from Disneyshopping (I think that's the name) I really wish I could email them back and tell them, if you would make it easier for me to get to WDW, I would shop there!

thanks

The email came from "Disney Destinations" - I almost thought it was junk! The email address is DisneyParks@email.MyDisneyParks.com and the subject is "POOF! Disney magic for the [name] family"

It came to my junk email (i.e. not the one I use to sign in at all the Disney websites) but was addressed to DF's last name -- and the only reservation we've ever made under his name is our comped night at the Grand Floridian for our Disney's Fairy Tale wedding.

OK, I think I've solved the mystery - the code turned out to be under my mother in law's name, which is prolly why they couldn't find it for me (I have a different last name). I asked about the rates, and all the standard view rooms were sold out at the two places we wanted to stay: Poly and Wilderness Lodge. The best they could do at the Poly was a Club-level room for $1,300

The WL had courtyard view rooms availible for $190...

I have heard of it, but not personally
