This CM says people come in with one color certificate and 4 or 5 reproductions, getting 20 or more pins at a time!
It was my understanding, from both the website and the CM's at MGM that each pin certificate could be used for up to 4 pins, but that each of those pins must accompany the purchase of one of the Magical Moments lightup pins.....that is, one free internet pin for each lightup pin purchased.
At a price of $16.00 each (includes tax) for one light up pin, if there were people buying the amount needed to get 20 free pins (i.e., 20 lightup pins), then all I can say is that their pin budget is surely higher than ours!
I suspect that in actuality, there may have been some CM's that might not have understood the one pin per purchase requirement, and may have allowed some folks to have more than their fair share. Too bad for everyone else. And if this is the case, and that practice continues, the 20,000 expected soon may not last long either.
Several weeks ago, I purchased two light up pins (one for each of the kids) and as expected, was told that our certificate was good for two free pins (which were out of stock at that time). The CM that took our address simply wrote it on the back of a receipt that someone had left on the counter, then slipped it in a box with a small handful of other such notes. Didn't impress us as very "Disney official". In light of that, and your post above, we'll be curious to see if the pins we're expecting ever do show up in the mail. Cross your fingers.......
