Is a Bounceback ALWAYS offered????

[LaneOT]

Hello all!!! Quick question... Are bouncebacks always offered??? I have heard some conflicting results and am gaging whether or not they are constantly offered or on occasion.

Also, if you are at the moderates for free dining, will they offer you 40% off deluxe AND free dining on a bounceback????

Your info is SOOO greatly appreciated

I do remember when it was not ALWAYS offered.

Lately, they're doing anything they can to get bodies in the hotel rooms so... it's pretty much on constant offer.

If you don't see the card in your room stop at the 'front desk' and ask them about it.

i was wondering this also. planning on going in Aug but also maybe a quick trip at easter. Would be nice to save in August. I called Disney yesterday to ask and the agent that I spoke with said it was "the luck of the draw" if there is a card/flyer in the room and that they dont always offer it.
we shall see.

or just dial ext 8844 from your room. That's usually the number to dial for the bounceback offer.

Disney does not allow stacking of codes. If you get a 40% offer and a free dining offer, you will need to run the numbers to see which would be the best deal for your situation. For example I was at WDW last Sept/Oct and got the bounceback offer for free dining next Aug/Sept. I booked it. I returned to WDW in Dec and the bounceback offer then was for a percentage off the rooms for lots of dates in 2010. I then booked three more bounceback deals getting 35% off moderates. I was not allowed to combine my free dining deal with the 35% off deal even though my Sept dates were covered under both deals. I had to choose which would be the better deal for us. Normally at a Deluxe the 40% off would beat free dining. If you are at WDW during free dining usually the bounceback is just for free dining the next August/Sept, not a percentage off the room anyway.

The only exception I am aware of was back in Sept '08 there was a bounceback deal that offered a % off and free dining at OKW or Saratoga Springs for August/Sept '09. Those two resorts were the only ones offered. Apparently Disney has a hard time filling those two. That's the only time that's deal ever been offered though. Usually you must choose either free dining or % off depending on what's being offered while you are down there.
