Thanks to the person who sent me a postcard - I'm sorry but I forgot your name!
I was able to successfully add the $50 shipboard credit to my 2/22/03 Magic booking, but it took a few calls. A bit of advice to other people trying to add this credit, especially with a TA other than Disney:
Don't give up! When I first called my TA (Costco), they finally concluded that the code REF was not applicable to 2003 cruises.
But when I called Disney, the phone rep confirmed that the code is definitely good through the end of 2003 - but he would not be able to change my booking, as I had used a different TA! Argh! Finally, when I called Costco again and reached a different agent, having the knowledge that the code
was good for my cruise, he was able to call Disney and add the credit!
Another note - I didn't receive any guidance from my TA about what to do with the postcard. The rep from Disney told me that my TA or I should send it in, but wouldn't Disney have told that to the TA as well? I guess at this point, I'm planning to hold onto the postcard, and see what happens. Did anyone else actually have to send in the card, or present it in any way - or did the REF code alone take care of it?
Thanks again for the great advice about the cards - I wouldn't have known about it without the DIS boards!
