Those looking for a pin....Instead of calling...

[GhostLady]

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this happen (don't have time to read the whole thread right now) but I wanted to warn everyone that this doesn't always work. Please don't get to excited if you see a PIN code because it may not work.

I have checked that link several times since it was first posted here and nothing showed up under my name or my family member's names even though we did receive a few codes (nothing we could use).

Last night I checked again and I got so excited because I have been hoping for a free dining pin so I could switch our trip dates. There it was under my moms name and my email at the bottom. It was to late to call when I found it so I stayed up all night trying to plan my schedule to make sure the new dates would work.

First thing this morning I called to switch my dates and apply the PIN. Long story short....it DID NOT happen. The CM first tried to check using the PIN itself and nothing showed up. She then checked under each of our names. Nothing. She asked for addresses, phone numbers and emails to make sure but still nothing. She put me on hold twice for quite awhile to talk to her supervisor but there was nothing they could do. She said that not only was that PIN number not connected to any of our names, It did not exist at all.

The page that showed up looked just like the other PIN emails I have received. It was titled "A Dream Offer for the ***** Family". It showed the PIN number in 2 different places and it said it could be booked until 10/3/09 so it wasn't expired. The dates on it were the same ones that have been posted by those who did get this PIN.

Just wanted to let everyone know so no one else gets disappointed like I did. I still think it's worth checking and calling to make sure but please learn from my mistake and don't get your hopes up.

I CANNOT believe this! I typed in everyone's name in our family, nothing.
Then, I tried my sister in law's name because she just registered for a free DVD. They are going with us in December. A PIN popped up with her name on it! UGG...it is too late to call. I will be so nervous until morning when I can check to see if it is really true!

When I try my name, husband's, mom's, I get the regular website, but when I try my dad's (he is going with us in Nov.) it pulls up the order a DVD website but it has a bunch of numbers and a source code in the URL. This happen to anyone?

I've used the code check page before and gotten to the right page, but this a.m. its not going thru...anyone else having problems?

Okay, reporting back to let you know what happened this morning. (See my post above from last night). I found the PIN code last night and called this morning. At first, the CM said it was not coming up. I was so upset. Then, he looked it up by my sister in law's zip code and it came up in his computer, but it was one number off! Very strange. He still let us use it. We are so excited! Free dining for December! Saved me $653.00!!!

oh well...nothing for me or dh, but i found a pin code under my bf's name, so i emailed her! i have yet to ever receive a pin code...would love to get one for free dining in mid-OCT.

 

[PuNkEe1299]

So, I tried this, knowing I had a pin code, and nothing came up?? Weird.

I looked up my moms name b/c I few weeks ago she received a snail mail code for Free dining, but it doesn't pop up under this url.

 

[Goin2Disney2006]

It didn't work for my stepfather either, he just got a Free Dining email

 

[TJA]

I have 1 friend and 2 family members who have current PIN's and none show up....weird.

 

[disneymom06]

Same here, DH got a pin and it doesn't show up on the page?

 

[2poohbears]

i wonder if pin codes are generated from/for different sources, and this webpage is just one. that would explain why some are finding codes they can use, while others know they have pin codes, but they aren't showing up there.

Are you saying that you found a PIN on this site but your SIL didn't actually receive anything?

And it was one number off?

Just wondering about the details.

I keep looking at my emails everyday hoping that the PIN I found on the site just hadn't been sent out yet or something but no emails. It's still showing up on that site but we aren't getting anything and the CM couldn't find it.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is there anything else I could/should try?

Any theories about why a PIN would be on the site but not in Disney's system? Isn't that site a part of Disney's system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to quote you again but I just have one more question.

Did you tell the CM that you found the PIN on that web site?

 

[My2Angels]

Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply! To answer your questions:
Yes, I found the code under my sister in laws name on the website.
I called and gave the CM the number, he said it wasn't coming up, so he looked under her ZIP code and found the code. He said it was one number off, the first 2 numbers I had were 10, the first 2 numbers in his system were 11.
She had not yet received the email, but I did not tell him that I found it on a website.
She received the email in her box 2 days later!
Hope this helps!!

anyone having a problem signing on today?? I can't get the page to come up. Of course, with me checking a few times a day either I broke it or Disney has said, keep the crazy lady off the site!

 

[tiellady]

Checked again today and instead of getting the usual "recipient unknown" I started to get the reply "visit.disneyparks.com/XXX/@@/@@@/@@@@.asp?FieldValue=myname"

The X's signify letters and the "@'s" signify numbers.

However, when the page says done loading all I get is a plain white page!!!!



Does this mean I may possibly be getting a pin code but my link is acting STUPID????!!!????

that's why I asked if anyone else was having a problem- I got the same thing over and over. For a brief min. I got excited thinking I got a pin code. But now I'm I don't think the page is loading correctly.
