Just Got A 40% Off Code

[micmacmissy]

I can't believe it....we just got back from WDW all of 3 days ago, and what was in the mail today? The 40% discount mailer.

I called out of curiosity...the per-night rates (for December 7-17) were:
$345 Club level Contemporary
$204 Garden view Poly
$231 Garden view GF

I doubt we'll go again so soon...but it's tempting to think about!

 

[madisonsmommy7704]

they let some friends of ours use the code under their own name,they linked our resi but they have their own package...the code was for me under my name...they also said i could book 3 more rooms if i wanted.

did you have to call to do the reservation? or wher eyour friends able to do it with your resi info or somehting?

sorry if this has been asked & answered already, but I wanted to check with knowledgeable DISers since we all know that CM answers seem to change each time you speak to one

anyways, I got lucky this year and actually recieved the 40% off code. I know it says it's non-transferable, however we were hoping to be able to get a deal for DBF's parents as well. If another friend or relative were to receive this discount & not be using it, is it possible for them to book for someone else, or does the name on the postcard have to actually be listed in the room? Also, what if they were placed in the room but then taken out later? Sry if this is confusing, we just want them to be able to come along too!! TIA!

Addiedisney,
I do not think that is the code we are talking about here. This is for 40% off room only for 7 times during the year. I received a HUGE postcard and a pin

For August, I originally had the December bounceback at POFQ standard for 3 nights for $352.02. I was able to have te pin applied and my new total is $301.74!

That and I have an additional reservation at WL woods view for 2 nights for $337!

Not bad! These are the best discounts on room only that I have seen since 2005!

Can anyone tell me can I book the room now with the 40% code I received and then add the tickets and DP at a later date? Also, any tips on getting a "nice" CM? I always seem to get the ones who would rather be doing anything else besides talking with me.

Us too!!! Darn...may have to price out an '08 visit....just for fun!!!

Yesterday in the mail I got the 40% off post card and noticed it was in my maiden name.

Me too! How does that happen??? I get a postcard addressed to my maiden name, sent to my current address that I didn't live at until AFTER I got married. How does that happen?! Never even lived at my current address with my maiden name. Their system is SO screwy.

Unfortunately, the 40% doesn't apply to the Hilton Head resort, where we currently have our Aug. ressie. May just have to call and price something out. Just to see....

Does anyone know if they ever send these "special" offers to people who live outside of the USA? I know they often have specials for UK and Canadian residents, but unfortunately I don't live in either of those countries.

Also although I am registered on the website and have booked at least 3 trips online through Disney.

My profile indicates I should be receiving email/mail, but I've never gotten anything, even the Disney Insider doesn't seem to be sent to me. Do you think I am being filtered out because I am from Australia?

Would be interested to here if any non-USA people have gotten offers?

Cheers
Angela

Oh my gosh you guys totally rock!

[Background: I went down to Disney in September with my mom only for a retirement trip for her as a mother/daughter bonding experience, and decided to book the free dining bounceback while I was there to come back with hubby for a "fifth anniversary celebration" even though our anniversary isn't until October - figured I wouldn't get a better price...but I REALLY wanted to go in October, and I REALLY wanted to upgrade to a deluxe instead of staying at the Allstars...]

I had given up on ever getting a pin code; I go to Disney at least once a year and they know they don't need to lure me back.

When I called yesterday & the reservation lady told me I didn't have one I asked her to check my husband's name and she said it was by address so I wouldn't have one there either...and normally that would have been the end of the checking for me.

but tonight I decided to try one more time because of posts on this board saying people who were persistent had luck, and I got a GREAT CM that found one for me in my husband's name! (The only ressie we ever booked in his name was our honeymoon, where my email address was my maiden name@hotmail.com instead of my married name - Apparently they've been sending pin codes to the wrong email address, and probably the wrong home address as well since we've moved since that trip!!)

So now we are going over our anniversary, over Halloween, and staying at the Beach Club resort (RIGHT NEXT TO FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL!) and we can afford it because I had already pretty much paid off the Allstar resort vacation anyways....

oh my gosh I am SO EXCITED. Sorry for the rant, but I knew if anyone could appreciate this it would be you guys =)

[I read the forums all the time, I just don't normally post!]

Also to all the people out there that are giving up...just KEEP CALLING. I'm pretty sure the code was under the wrong email address & wrong home address, and the CM applied it anyways...because I got the right CM.

Frequent trips don't mean a thing when it comes to the pin codes.

We've made many visits in the past 10 years, and I already had a trip booked for April when I got the pin code.

Never give up hope!

We also have made many trips to WDW in the past few years and I ACTUALLY GOT A FREAKIN' POSTCARD yesterday in the mail. You could have knocked me over with a feather!

I think the last time I got one was at least 4 years ago if not more - I'm not sure I've ever gotten one!

 

[dawz1026]

I got one a couple of months ago but it was for special rates only till March..a winter discount I think.Same as the one on their website.I don't remember any code or pin on it though...should have held on to it..Im soooo mad

 

[wdwfanatic80]

So I got a code to my address, but it came for my aunt who has never lived her. Weirder still it came to her maiden name. Whatever. I have read this WHOLE thread and saw that others were able to use it if it was addressed to someone else, but came to their address so I called to alter a reservation I already have and to price out a trip for the fall and NOPE can't use it because she needs to make the reservation...huh??? It came to my HOUSE because she was on one of my reservations....should I call again? Or are these the rules - that the person whose pin code it is has to call and be on the reservation????

 

[AshleyMWC]

Grrr, n postcard for me, but I am having my DBF call and check just in case. I am too big a wuss to call, because I seem to attract mena CM's I told him to check both of our names, our address and my old one. Two people I work with have both gotten them, so I am bummed!! Keep your fingers crossed for me please- we are hoping to be able to add a night onto vacation!

 

[AshleyMWC]

OH MY GOSH, it worked!!!! 40% of Poly Garden view, October 27-Nov 3!!!! $239/night. We saved $1120!!!!!!!!!! That savings will pay for our plane tickets and most of our food!!!!!! I am so beyond excited, nothing like this has ever happened to me before!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wdwfanatic80]

Called again and spoke to a really nice CM and he went and checked with someone and still NO. My aunt has to be in our travel party.

Looking to plan a vacation in Aug. 2008 for sons college graduation. Priced out a few Disney resorts on a few dates. My one son (have 5 sons 1daughter) calls and books us under a magical gathering. After reading boards told him to call to see if any pins or codes under our names. No luck . Icalled few days later checked no codes. Called back canceled our reservation. Few days later got 40% off mailer in mail. Called to book with code and said could not use under my oldest sons name who can not attend vacation due to wife high rick pregnancy
Called back with magical gatherings # emailed to me nite before from Disney Destinations if I book trip in future. Told again I could not use , I was upset as this was mailed to my household and we have been to Disney World 10 times in the past each time I was one who paid and reserved vacation in my name for family. I ask to speak to someone from guest services and then I was put on hold. Nice cm came back and said he got it approved in my name. So don't give up.

 

[dawz1026]

So happy for all of you ...no but really great news! I am still going to keep on going and try for my code!

 

[senecabeach]

So does the pin code have restrictions??
Like...buying a package or DP??
