How come I never receive codes?

[dpware]

My wife and I travel to Disney every year (with a occasional skip) and have cruised with Disney. We rarely receive codes or offers. Any reason why?

Thanks.

My theory is that they know they've got you. We've been to WDW at least 10 times - we never get any codes. Why should they entice us to come when they know we will come anyway.

Just my two cents, of course.

I agree. We've never received a PIN code, and we've been to WDW over 25 times. One year, we put together a trip for DMIL's birthday and put everyone that went on the trip in our "household" at our address so we could pay for the reservation. Of course, everyone else on that list has gotten a PIN except us - because none of them has been back since.

have you ever called disney and asked them?? I did a month ago and low and behold I had a pin attached to my name.

I hate to say it, but we go every year for 10 days. And I'm ALWAYS getting codes--postal (the best) and email. I think it depends on how much you are signed up for. We are registered with everything Disney and it's through different sources that the codes arrive.

Unfortunately, most of the codes are for when we can't use them. Or the wrong type of code. Yes, we're going in December, but the code I got was for a package. I got a code for Jan-Feb for room only and again for August-October for room only, but we couldn't go during those times. Oh well, sometimes it works out.

We did a multi family trip 4 years ago, I made all the reservations, paid for all the rooms, guess who gets the occasional codes and one is even at my address? It is not me, but the other 2 families. I called Disney and I did ask. The answer was, you probably come more than the others. I tried to use the code that came to the other person at my house... no way! It was my daughter and her family. It did not matter. Now, If they had booked a room at that time, they would have been able to get 3 with that particular code, but it was during school so they could not go.

I've been to DW less then 10x in my lifetime, but I called the other day and CM said I had a pincode, however, they said it was Jan/Feb but was expired. I never got a postcard or email from it, yet it was still in the system. Needless to say, I asked for it anyways, and have it written down just in case it's not expired. So I would suggest calling and asking, otherwise I would have never even known.

I wrote to Disney and asked them this same question. We've been to WDW 12 times in the last 10 years with most of these visits being 10 day trips.

I was told that the pins are given out randomly. I was advised to update My Profile on the www.disneyworld.com website periodically and to make sure I log in when I visit the www.disneyworld.com website. This will let them know that I am still around.

Now, I update My Profile every three weeks or so (even though it doesn't need updating). I also log in every time I visit the site. And, I don't know if it helps or not, I also complete the Site Survey on the www.disneyworld.com website every two or three weeks.

One day, I WILL get a pin attached to my name. I just know it! (Yeah, right! )

I am always hoping for a PIN that coincides with a time that we can actually go to WDW. I finally got one in the mail but...it was for DisneyLand! Oh well

I got a PIN or two a long time ago when we first began making trips to WDW. Since then I haven't received any but then I keep forgetting to ask when I call to make ressies.

Where are you registered? I'd love to register for whatever I haven't for to up my chances of getting a code. I'm hoping for one for Jan 09!
