The method for getting a PIN worked for me and many others!!! YMMV

[gibbersome]

Over a week and nothing yet. 6 accounts (3 YAHOO, 2 HOTMAIL and 1 GMAIL), no luck yet.

Seriously? Has anyone done this and had it work? I would be feeling queasy if I got a PIN using a US address and then calling to actually book with that PIN. I'm not good with confrontation

I wonder if you could use the address of one of the Deluxe Resorts - after all if you get the pin then you would be "living" there - albeit for a very short period of time

So sad, I hope you get good news soon... This does not make sense to me at all! WHY some get it as easy as 123 and we DO NOT!!!
Hoping for all of us still waiting.......

*hugs* I guess we can relax a bit over the weekend. Then back to obsessing checking up our e-mail accounts, itineraries and the DIS boards!

Congrats to everyone to got one. Hoping we're next!

Did you try creating one of your 4,126, 201 accounts with a US address? I would try that and if you get a pin, call and say you moved! Your name and DOB will still match.

I'm not actually from Liberia, I'm just volunteering here for a year. I've actually been using my parents' address for my Disney accounts. BUT my mom already booked a room, so you think I should create a Disney account with one of my old addresses? And if I do that will I have a problem using the pin?

Plus my mom is going to have to book, is there going to be a problem with her using my pin if she has all my information? Or my Dad has power of attorney, I guess...so confusing

Hey guys, I'm wondering something and I apologize in advance if this issue has already been covered...I didn't read all 14 or so pages on this topic...but here's my question...do you think this will work if you already have an existing reservation? I tried it with my original email and got zilch...I just made my hubby an account with a different email, however our reservation is in both of our names since we reserved two rooms. I was really hoping for free dining during our stay...but I don't want to be left hanging if that doesn't come through.

FYI - It's totally easy to check all of your accounts on a smartphone! You can link them all in and new e-mail notifications pop up automatically so you don't have to waste time checking a bunch of accounts several times a day! I've don't this on my old blackberry, and now on my droid. (Still haven't gotten a pin yet, though!)

That's. What I did on my iPhone , it's great!

Yeah, till someone posts and says they got an email PIN today, or we could always get our 'fix' by calling Disney!

I had an existing reservation, but I got my pin in a newly created Email address. I created a new account on the Disney site, but even though it was with a new Email address, the info (name, DOB, address) were the same as all my other accounts.

I got 3 pins, one each in 3 accounts. I created a new Yahoo account every few days. I got my pins all in the same day. One pin on an account I had for a week, another for an account that I had for 2 days and another for an account I had for 1 day.

By reading these pages, to me it looks like the majority of pins are being sent to people who play with the system on Sundays and Tuesdays. The majority of pins are being sent on Tuesdays thru Thursdays from 11:30am - 1:00pm EST.

Good luck!

Just wanted to chime in~

I did everything prescribed to do to get the PIN codes. I do/did have an existing ressie and did the same things in that profile (I did make my ressie online) that I did in the new ones I created.

So far I have 4 profiles, here is what I received:

Original Profile (one with ressie) - nothing (no PINS, no emails, only invoice)

2nd Profile (under DH name/established email) - nothing

3rd Profile (under my name/new email) - 1 PIN (20/30/40)

4th Profile (under DH name/new email) - 2 PINS (20/30/40)

I did the same things in all of the profiles. 2 itineraries (one needing accomodations/one non-disney hotel). After 1 week nothing, so I went in and save a vacation package on the 2 new email profiles, left them overnight. Next day got the generic "check out your resort" emails in both new email accounts. So I deleted the saved vacations and then the next day got a PIN in the 4th profile, nothing in the others.

So I called CRO to apply the PIN to my current reissie (profile 1) and the CM asked if the email with the PIN was the address of my 3rd profile. Note I did not have that PIN yet, got it the day after I called. So he could see both PINs and I assume just called out the first one listed. I did worry that since did not know what PIN that email address had, that it might be the QSDP which I did not want, but it was the 40% deluxe.

Not sure if my senario will work for anyone else, but that is what I did.

Good luck and I hope everyone that wants a PIN gets one. I am just hoping I can get a FD PIN as it would save me $70 more dollars off my current PIN. However, I am happy with what I have

Did you delete the itineraries as well, and did you log out of all profiles or stay logged on?

Actually obsessing here, I wrote out everything you did, as well as
DISNEY 1975 and ZAMBONIMAN and MOMTO BRYNNCESS too...

want 40% off ASAP! OH yeah, when did you get the first pin offer? day and time of day.... I should change my user id to crazy4pins!

Thanks!

No, I did not delete any of the itineraries, but I made sure they all at 2 of them. I did go in a delete any saved vacations (priced out). I also logged out and stayed out until the next day.

One thing I did do was on the profile that got the first PIN I used a different address when setting up the profile. I used my work address for one and our 2nd home (inherited home from my Dad) address for the other. The 2 profiles that have our actual home address still have not gotten a PIN. Not sure if anyone else had it happen that way, but that's how it is for me.

You think you'll have any problem using the pin with a different address? What kind of 'verification' questions are there for using a pin?

Its still your name, Email address and DOB..just say you moved!

DEEP BREATH....


OKAY.

I did my LAST new profile and new email address on yahoo.

I tried to do it exactly as luvthatdisney did, so we will see............

LAST STRAW LAST KICK AT THE CAN!


Hopefully I will get good news next week!

 

[jgallant]

HUH? Incidentally.....

My 'new' email address on yahoo will not even let me log in.
Too much!

Well, I should go make dinner and pay attention to my LIFE for a wee bit.
And check back later.

My computer time really was limited today - kids were home, and iphones and ipods are too small to go onto... they were wanting the computer to play...

Oh no. I wish you hadn't said that. I already have 5 profiles going and now with this idea of using a different address I'm likely to have 5 more. I've always suspected that I never got a pin because I live on the west coast and wasn't living in WDW's target area. I kind of thought maybe east coast people were more likely to get a pin. Now I have some new tricks to try.

 

[Mamalisa58]

I have gotten at least 5 offers since I lost my job last July. We have been going every year since 2000. Too bad I won't be able to take advantage. I think I have been offered free QS 3 times, free DDP once and % off a couple of times. Just my luck. Hopefully I will keep getting offers once I finally find work!
