Currently I am booked for a the buy four nights, get three free special. However, I just called to see about upgrading with the 40% discount they are offering now and going for only 6 nights instead of 7. The guy on the phone said "there's no 40% special...but I found a 40% off PIN under your name". I'm SO confused. Isn't there a 40% off special right now? Why are so many excited about receiving PINS when there's a special? Someone please help me understand :)
 
It's all about the dates. :) They new promotion they just released to the general public is 40% off Deluxes but it only runs until the begining of June. the PINS that are being sent out are the 40% off at Deluxes as well but they can be used for most dates through December 2010. I am going in August and was hoping to stay at a Deluxe. I was fortunate enought to receive a PIN code so I booked the Beach Club. That is why I am excited! :)
 
We are booked on the buy 4 get 3 free as well. I called and priced out the room only discount code and it wasn't as good of a deal for our room at YC. I also got a PIN email and priced that as well. It still didn't beat the buy 4 get 3. ;)

There were PINS that came out in mid Oct through different dates up to June 12, 2010. Then the other full year (with dates unavailable) came out. I just got that one today due to saving a vacation in the beginning of Dec. I know it's the reason for sure since the email with the PIN references one of the saved vacations. I guess that does happen!
 

Yes, the buy 4 nights, get 3 free is a better deal for us too...but we've now decided that we can't stay seven nights. We are going in March, so the regular 40% off special should apply. I guess he didn't know what he was doing. He also kept trying to add the dining plan and it kept bumping up my cost.
