We are planning a trip from Nov 1-8. New to this code thing. A friend told me about this site. So new to this. Would love to get a room code. Are codes only for certain resorts?

Just some hints to getting codes.
1. Get a Disney Visa. (Puts you in the system, and everytime you buy something from Disney, including vacations, you get 6 months no interest)

2. Sign up at the Disney website. If you have two or more email addresses, sign up with all of them. You may get offers emailed to you or mailed with codes.

Is the 30% savings for a package or room only????

The 30% was on the room only for Mods, and a 20% off of values. This was the first time i've done the bounceback deal myself.... Just be sure on the bounceback, that if they have dates you want you can call them anytime during your stay, i forgot and checked out, and luckily i called within about 15 min, and i will still able to book!! Whew!!! Just with all the craziness of checking out... i would totally book while you are just hanging out in your room!

I just got a Disney visa, yay! I noticed you said everytime you buy from Disney, what does that include, besides vacations, which I know about?

We are going Nov 14 - Nov 23 and really hope we get a code, pin, w.e. even a general public code. We got a pin last Aug to use in Nov '07, os hoping to get something similiar! Maybe we'll get something from our Disney visa!

I an going down to WDW in 2 1/2 weeks, and just booked a trip for Nov. If there is a bounceback offer for Nov. when I am there, what can I do? Will they apply that offer to my already made reservation and give me a credit, or do I need to completely cancel and rebook? If so, what happens to my ADR's since they are under the original reservation number???? Help!!! Thanks!!

 

[rgrgirl]

I have a question too similiar to dfularz... if I book a trip with out a code, then I get a code some how (answered prayers), would I be able to call back and apply that code to the exsisting reservation or would I have to cancel and do a new reservation? If anyone has experience with this please let me know.

What that means is anything Disney. Things you buy at Disney, Disney.com, Disney stores etc. Just go to the Disney Visa website and it explains it better. Also you get disney dollars for every $100 you charge. I put my Disney vacations on the card and pay them off within the six months. No interest + I get about 20 Disney dollars every trip.

Going for SSW from 11/14 to 11/17/08......Disney website said $165/night for POFQ. Booked the same thru AAA for $140.25/night.....even better than mousesavers. At least we are in. I will look for codes to come out around August to see if they are better than the $140.25.....but, I doubt it!

Thanks, YesMickey! I have now started paying everything with my Disney visa card! Another question for you. I'm wondering about the Disney vacation. I understood it to be any Disney Vacation, whether it's just room or a disney vacation package. On another thread I read Sunday, someone asked ?'s on this and the poster replied that to get the 0% for the vacation, it had to be a package deal, definitely not just a room only, and she knew this because she just had been through this. This confused me! So, do you know what the real deal is, can it be a room only or does it have to be a package to get the 0%? That doesn't make much sense being you can buy anything disney to get the 0%, right? Also, how the charge for this work. I don't remember who said it, but they said the 6 mth 0% starts over each time you make a payment on your trip. Is that right that it doesn't just start from the date you first book your trip, but with each payment for the trip? Confusing and it's good to hear from a fellow disser who puts it in plaing language and has experienced using the card, so Thanks!

I think you've gotten some mis-information. In order to get the 6 months 0% interest, you must book a package or DCL cruise. When you first get the Disney Visa however, ALL purchases should be 0% for 6 months -- that can be dangerous though! (your monthly statement will always show where you stand regarding any deferred interest charges. )

When you have an eligible purchase - WDW vacation package or Disney cruise - your statement will show the expiration date for the 0% and also the balance you still owe on those particular charges. It does not start over each time you make a payment toward it. When I've had a 0% deal, I've always made sure to pay that month's charges in full PLUS an amount toward the package (usually trying to divide it equally over 5 or 6 payments).

When in doubt, call Chase!

Hello, this is my first post here. I have been to Disney World MANY times but have never heard of getting discount codes or PINS or anything. I do not have a Disney Visa card, nor do I want one. So, where on the Disney website do I have to "sign up" in order to hopefully get lucky and get a code such as for 30-40% off rooms, free park hopper, all this other amazing stuff that I had no idea existed until I read this thread. Do I have to book a vacation BEFORE I can get the codes? I'm thinking about going in Nov 2008 but want to see if I can get a discount before I book. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for answering, RachelTori! Btw, I did get a packet from Disney Visa today with card info, have to get to reading it. But, you guys usually have clear, easy to read/understand answers, so I'm going to ask another question. Hope that's okay!
Now some of the info I got came from this answer to a thread I posted on getting a new Disney Visa card.
"We love our Disney Visa!!! As far as the 6 months, 0% goes....the 6 months starts when you make your deposit and every payment after that. For example...if you book a package today and only put down the $200 minimum deposit and pay the balance 45 days before your arrival, you will have 6 months from today at 0% interest today to pay the $200, and then 6 months/0% interest from the date you pay in full to pay that amount off. That goes for any payments you make along the way as well....whatever date you apply a payment (or pay it off), you will have 6 months from that date with 0% interest . There will be a section on your statement that shows your deposit/payments and when the expiration date of the 6 months, 0% interest is."

I do see that it says package in this quote now. So, is the part where is says about paying 200 dep. now starting the 0% interest, then it starting over when paying by the 45 day prior mark, valid or is that not how it works. Thought I'd read that more than once. Also, lets say I book now with AAA rates, then hopefully a code or pin comes along, hopefully by mid Aug, as it did last year. Then, when I apply that code to my ressie, and it's before the time I had to pay it off, will it then start over with a new 0% cause it's actually a package then? Otherwise, if I book now, I've have to pay off trip just after coming back. Not that I wouldn't, but nice to have extended time if possible or needed. Anyway, does any of this make any sense? I will also try to call chase tomorrow evening when I have more time. Boy, having a Disney visa rewards card is confusing, but I will figure it out eventually!
Okay, thanks!! Appreciate any disney visa insights!

I was kind of wondering that too. I have the 0% on my $200 deposit and I was hoping that when I added the rest of the cost of my trip to the cc the 0% would extended from the date I paid the rest of the vacation off.
IE If I booked with a deposit in Feb the 0% would end in Aug. Thins say I pd the rest of the trip off with the CC in July then the 0% would extend to dec. Does that make sense?
Not expecting it but I can hope!

I know the $200 deposit, then the balance paid 45 days out both qualify separately as 0% interest/6 months. I'm not sure if you "convert" to a package how that would work and I'm also unsure if you make incremental payments "toward" your package how that would work! In those cases, I would call Chase and if I didn't get a clear, concise answer from the first rep I spoke with, I'd call again! And no matter what information you get from here or Chase, always check your billing statement. There's a section that shows your "promos" which would be any deferred interest. It will show you the balance of that promo and the expiration (or pay by!) date. HTHs!

Sorry I have not read the whole post, but can someone tell me when (if) they release an AP code for November??? Thanks!

 

[sirwiltor]

Hi,

If I have already book a reservation, and later comes a code, can I use the code on my current reservation?
