WDW Online Communications states discounts are random

I emailed WDW this weekend regarding the discounts postcards/emails some have received and other have not. I got a reply today, and here's the meat of it:

"As you may be aware, the Walt Disney World Resort periodically offers
special resort programs as a courtesy to our guests; however, some
specific promotions also require a special PIN number to access. These
PIN numbers are mailed to randomly selected guests chosen from our
mailing lists. If you would like to be considered for future
promotions, you may update your member account..."

The best part was that the sender used a canned response, and didn't bother to notice they pasted it twice into the body of the message. Such a personal touch -- I can just feel the magic. Not!

I got the same email response just a few minutes ago...to the letter. I'm so confused. You can talk to three different CM's and get three different answers. I think they're as confused as we are.

I called today to check the price difference between CBR and AKL and was offered the discount without asking. I had them hold the ressie until I talked it over with my DH. I called back to switch resort and was told the discount was available for me, but since they already had the information on hold, the supervisor said Disney would honor it. I even questioned whether they would cancel my ressie and they guy said, "no worries, they wouldn't do that". So, that's what I'm counting on.

Strange...because I booked 8 nights at the POR Oct.26 and received the discount with no postcard or pin....it did come in the mail a week later, but received the discounted rate anyways!
