VMK cards expiring September 30, 2006

[heathrow42]

Just a reminder that some VMK cards expire on September 30, 2006. So if you've got piles laying around, start entering them From looking at the cards I have, it looks like cards marked Series 1 in the upper right corner, expire this year. The cards that are marked Series 2 expire September 30, 2007.. next year. I don't know if this is a hard and fast rule.. just what I can tell from the cards I have.

Series 2 cards that I have are pirates stuff, and High School Musical and Thrill Seekers.

Do you think Disney will come out with more park quest cards? We have been seeing the cards since they first came out, but didn't think anything about them until my daughter picked up a quest brochure last Spring. She kept telling us she wanted to do the quest the next time we went, but we kept forgetting about them. Finally we looked at the brochure in July and realized the quests were for VMK. Since we are passholders, we can only do the quests every 90 days so it looks like we won't be able to do the quests for the different lands again before they expire.

From looking at my cards it seems that all series 2 up to and including 18/30 (except for maybe the Stitch cards - don't have those) also expire in 2006. All my cards from series 2, 19/30 - 29/30 expire in 2007.

I was trying to put in some codes today ....and alot of my cards do not have valid codes !

I got them on my trip in May and I know they have not been used !

Now is that because of the scam that people pulled with the code maker ? Did they use up my codes ?

Three of them were for gold Mickey ears ! Catus chairs, the big raft and hippo rugs...........all sorts of them !

Or maybe I entered to many codes in one sitting ? I think I did ten codes !

No that is not because of a "code generator". The code generators were only used to get codes from the vmk code games. I don't see how it would be possible for them to generator park caard codes.

Obviously no one here knows this answer for certain, but....

I believe the code hacking has only taken place with the pirate and narnia codes.

I have had error messages start occurring after entering too many codes in one sitting. Change rooms. Go play a mini game. Take a walk in "real life," and come back. You should be good.

I also know that there were some Gold Ears cards given a DL that had codes with some troubles. I have no idea any further details or the odd of having those cards, but you mentioned gold ears, so I wanted to state that here.

Your codes most likely are fine - you just need to take a code entering break.

My guess,

I've already started entering my extra codes. Thanks for the heads up on some of the series 2 expiring soon too. I thought all of series 2 was good for another year.

 

[LisaInNc]

I have been working on entering codes too. No one at VMK has said they will not expire so I don't want to take the chance.

The good news is if they do expire they will most likely replace them with new quest and we all just love new quest!

 

[aeryn]

I'm not sure how they can have them expire at the end of Sept. They are still handing out Series 1 cards and there is no evidence that they will stop.

I really think the ONLY reason the cards have expiration dates on them is due to the lawyers saying "Hey, you can't just hand out prize cards and NOT have expiration dates on them." That gives them an out a year or so after they decide this whole VMK experiment isn't worth the effort any more or isn't generating the marketing they wanted to turn off the servers. Disney's lawyers just wouldn't let them hand out a 'prize' without some sort of redemption expiration.

Unfortunately, unless Yavn or QA_Suzy gives us a definitive answer, we'll prolly NOT know until the game opens on Oct 1st.

As to having cards I know the code should be good on, yeah, I've run across a bunch of those -- I usually just put them to the side and try to enter them on another day to make sure they really are 'duds'.

 

[Iris]

We got several "dud" codes from our last trip. Most were HSM Pianos! We tried them over several days but get the same "code not valid" or "doesn't match" message. We did send a message to VMK but doubt that they will fix it.

Just to be on the safe side, I have also been entering my codes. I would hate to wake up on October 1st only to find that some of the codes are no longer valid when I could have easily entered them before that date. Why chance it?

No Alyce it has nothing to do with the code generator....the gold ear cards were bad and you need to contact WDW to get new codes.

The way the codes work...codes are assigned to items so you could never say get a pirate ship part by entering a gold ear code unless someone at Disney keyed in the wrong thing does that make sense?? So the code generator can not say steal or take a code issued to say a Kali couch and give it to a Davey Jones Locker.

What might have happened and it has happened to me before is...once you enter a bad code the codes you enter after it return as bad. Log out and back in and start again.

The Code generator generated codes for the PiratePlunder game, Narnia, Monsters, and the Pirate Ship game.

Some of my cards from December when I first entered them didn't work.
But I tried them later and they worked.

You might have to log out and then in again.

I don't suppose anyone here has a Pirates Prison Room code that is going to expire and since you have no use for it you want to send it my way?

Seriously...i do have an offer for it up in trades and wishes!

 

[cucamonga]

I don't post a lot but thought someone may find this useful. The first time I did quests at DLR, I had a bunch of cards that didn't work. No matter what I tried all said that the codes were wrong. I emailed VMK through the Contact Us button and they answered a week later and said basically, sorry, can't help you since they came from DLR, contact them. So, the next time I went to Disneyland (I am a passholder) I took all the cards with codes that didn't work and they gave me new ones. I have done this every time I get some cards that don't work and they always give new ones. Sometimes they scan the cards to verify that it wasn't a "used" code but usually they just give new ones. This also worked with the gold mickey ears when they didn't work

Now I know this isn't always practical because not everyone lives close enough, but just a thought in case you have another trip planned or know someone who is going. I don't know if they will do this at WDW but it is worth a shot

 

[CoolTrainerTerry]

Are the Pirate Wells and Room Codes expiring this year?

 

[LeanaSpin]

I was at the park Monday, and asked the cast members there. They told me that the codes will NOT expire and we'll be able to keep using them as long as we already have the cards. I asked again later in the day, and was given the same answer. So I think we are safe, since 2 CM's told me the same thing.

 

[PrincessJen09]

I am worried now. We are going to be down in WDW from September 28 to October 5. I was so excited that I would be able to get some of the quest items before they expire. Do I have to enter them right away though? Will they go bad if I wait until I get home?

 

[LisaInNc]

I am gonig to be there at the same time. Arriving Sept 30th for 10 days. I am hoping that they will be releasing new quest after Sept 30th since we have had that series one quests for so long.

 

[jasonpwns]

I need to get the haunted mansion room still so I hope I find someone willing to trade me one this month. Pm if your trading 1.

I am hoping they release a new quest before Sept24th since that is the day we leave.

fingers crossed
