Just got a holiday pin but can't use it

[mommytothe3cs]

After reading all of the threads last night hoping to find a discount for October 2012 I went to the Disney site and saved a 2012 trip. When I woke up this morning I had a pin for a 30% discount waiting for me. I didn't read the dates completely because it said 2011 holiday discount but with no blackout dates. Since I can't use it can someone else use it instead? I know holiday rack rates are INSANE and if I could help someone on the boards I would be more than happy to give it to you.

I don't believe you can share PIN codes since they're exclusive to the person/address they are sent to. I wish we could share them though.....

I think the PP is correct. You are so kind to offer and I would LOVE to have a PIN for 12/29 to 1/2 when I am paying rack rate at the POLY , but nothing has shown up in my email...

Crossing my fingers for you! Rack rate at the Poly then just looks painful.

Unfortunately PINS cannot be transferred. But it was very sweet of you to think of others.

Discounts for Oct 2011 didn't come out until August so I think you'll most likely be waiting til next summer before you see anything for Oct 2012. Also keep in mind there were some blackout dates in October as well.
Here's a link to mousesavers with the historical discount release dates etc.:

Do you happen to recall the start and stop dates of that holiday pin. We are contemplating staying at that time and would love to hear the dates.

Thanks.

Mine was just a booking deal (not a PIN) but it may help someone.

The dates are

Save up to 30% at select Disney Resort hotels.
For stays most nights 10/30–11/18/11 and 11/26–12/23/11.

The email is titled - A magical WALT DISNEY WORLD(R) holiday offer.

The body of the e-mail:

While anytime is a great time to make a Disney memory, you'll find that there's a bit more magic in the air during the holiday season at Walt Disney World® Resort, including over 20 decorated Disney Resort hotels and even special holiday happenings beginning November 8. What's even better—you can stay in the middle of that magic and save!

For example, stay in a standard room at a select Disney Value Resort starting at just $76 per night, plus tax, for stays most Sunday—Thursday nights
10/30–11/18/11and 11/26–12/22/11.
The number of rooms available at these savings is limited. Savings based on the non-discounted price of the same room. Minimum stay requirements may apply for Friday or Saturday arrivals. Additional per-adult charges apply if more than two adults per room at Disney Value, Moderate and Deluxe Resorts. No group rates or other discounts apply. Offer excludes suites and 3-Bedroom Grand Villas. Advance reservations required.
Book through 11/19/11!

There is no PIN or three digit code, so I figure if you call and ask about it you could probably get the deal. You click through and it just leads you to the special offers page on the Disney site.

I had a PIN in February 2011 for October/November 2011 because I originally booked this trip with that. It was 30% off room rate only.
