"The code" and dates of travel

[DznyDreams]

The dates posted for the offer are: 2/25-3/7; 5/28-6/3; 8/21-10/6; 10/21-11/3; 11/11-11/16; and 12/9-12/22.

Has anyone booked with "the code" and gotten dates other than the ones listed above?

I was able to book with 40% off the BC from 12/18-12/25, but I decided not to keep it. DH and I really want a lighter crowd, so we've opted for 11/27-12/4.

Sorry...what code is this?

Sorry I can't post it. If you read through the recent 40%-code-offer posts you'll find there is some controversy over whether or not this "code" is public or PIN.

Here's my experience with reservations: When I called to see if there were any PIN offers attached to my name, the CM said, "No." When I asked for "any other available discounts for my dates" I was told yes and given a 3 letter code that many folks believe to be a PIN-only offer. Kind of strange that I would be told "no PIN offers for you" and then be given a "code" rate, huh? Anyway, it's just another one of those Disney Reservations MYSTERIES.

Just so you know Pop Warner begins on Dec. 3, so not sure that you are avoiding the crowds. The crowds this past year pretty much started right after Thanksgiving and went to through New Years.

Yes, I've heard. I've been to WDW during Pop Warner week in the past and while it was not perfect, it still wasn't as bad as the days just before and after Christmas. We'll be at the WL, and most of these folks will be in the value and moderate resorts. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

I just called and asked about dates in Dec. for the Poly. I was told there was no PIN attached to my name. The CM said the only discounts were through June. So, I guess it depends on what CM you get.

Yes it does! I had a super one, obviously, but not all CMs are created equal.

If only I could - I certainly would! She was wonderful. I completely missed her name at the beginning of the call, and all thoughts of asking her to repeat her name left my head when I heard her say "discount."

I just spoke to another CM and was able to book the Poly garden view 12/15 - 12/22 with 8 day tickets and dining for $2554.00!!!!!

Now, I just have to convince DH to go (he wanted to wait until Feb).

I wish I could get one, I don't think it is offered to us in the UK

Yes, my DIL got the discount on her 3 packages and the dates are the week of August 12th.

I have NOT been able to use the CODE or PIN that I have associated with my name on the dates outside of this promotion. The CM I got was wonderful and went on and on about how I can use it for other dates because I am eligible for an UPSELL that is good until 12-22. So we put in the CODE (which she explained to me was the upsell for those of us with a pin code attached to our name) and she gave me a package. Well, guess what exactly what I got on the internet. Even called back and had another CM do it again. Same thing. NOW in the dates that were included I got awesome results!! Good luck if you try for outside those dates. If you include at least one day of those dates you will probably get the discount for all. Good Luck.!

WOO HOO!!

Tink and I are sending some pixie dust your way to help you with convincing your DH.

We went the last two years with free dining and wanted to go again this year. I do have a code with my name but did not book yet. Was wondering if I should try to book something or wait for free dinin? What do you guys say?

 

[Charleyann]

I got the rate extended to Dec 31st ! Because I booked Dec 22nd, I was told the 49.00 rate would continue my entire stay. I got 14 nights for 775.00 at the All Start Movies! We are booked from Dec 17th - Dec 31st

Thanks for the person who pm the "code" I was able to get 40% off! The CM just asked me for the three leter code!

Having received no PIN or code by email or snail mail this time (I have gotten them in the past by both email and postcard), I just called this evening for the heck of it. We already had existing reservations for 11/17-24 at CSR with AAA discount.

The CM who answered was very kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. At first glance she saw no discounts but said she "wanted to check one more thing." A few moments later, she said she had found "something" and would try it out for the dates and resort we had booked, to compare pricing. She said there were no block out dates for this "PIN." However, the rate she pulled up did not beat our AAA rate.

After more calculating, she said what she pulled up was really a rack rate and most likely that was because we are going at Thanksgiving--the PIN did not work. Although there was no block out on the screen for those dates, she said the resorts can still block a discount from applying for that time.

So at least I feel better that (1) there was a PIN associated with my name, and (2) I tried to check and now know I have the best price I can get.

From talking to this CM, I could tell she knew exactly what she was looking for and was doing all she could to get us the better deal. She didn't give me any runaround or evasive answers. So I don't know that I would bother trying to call back...I am tempted after hearing from some on the boards that 3rd time's the charm, etc., but probably for the busy time of year we are going, that's not gonna happen.

Would you try again?

As much as I hate to jump on the bandwagon here, I would be interested in trying to see if I could get a reduced rate if anyone would be so kind as to pm me the three-letter "code"!

 

[aimeeme]

Ditto here. If someone could pm me the code I would really appreciate it as well. Planning on staying off site, but have been code watching.....a good enough rate may sway me to on site.
Thanks bunches!
