Strange call about postcard rate

[dgaston]

Last week I received my very first post card with a pin number. I know I got it because I requested the new Disney video at my work address. I've always used the home address before, but I ordered one for a colleague and it was easier. The post card (really a fold out letter) offered me a rate for $129 at select deluxes from 8/29/04 to 9/29/04. The letter mentioned that since I had tried moderates, how about a deluxe? (I stayed at POR in Feb and Ft Wilderness in April, and also AKL last October, so I think they don't have everything!!) We weren't going to do anything with it until Southwest Air came out with $46 one way fares from Providence to Orlando today. This will be known as Don's (DH's) extravagant birthday trip. So when I called tonight, the CM couldn't find the rate anywhere. For my pin there was supposed to be a rate of $124 for August, not September. After a lengthy period of being on hold, we were offered the post card rate that is due to go out soon--$109 at AKL and WL. I said "yes!" Unfortunately the $109 was all sold out, and I "had" to take a woods view for $121. The CM was totally puzzled about our card, but wanted us to be sure to get a good rate. Now DH can collect "It's my birthday today" buttons! He's jealous of my collection from February!

just curious--you said that you were offered the $109 rate that will come out soon but that it was already sold out..how could a rate that has not been released yet be sold out any way 121 for woods view is awesome..enjoy

I know--how could I have a postcard rate that doesn't exist? It's too murky for me, but I am glad I have the room at WL for Don's birthday.

I guess there weren't any standard view rooms left, so we couldn't get the $109 rate.
