What good is a Room Only Pin that has no availablilty?

[cbonebt]

Received a room only pin a few weeks ago and called that very night.... There was no availability in the Polynesian for Oct or November... The CM didn't seem to understand either... Anybody else have this problem?

Did you inquire about other resorts?

Each resort only has a certain number of rooms available for promotions and PINs. There may be resorts that, because of their current bookings, have no rooms available under a discount. There will be resorts that may have rooms in certain categories available but not all room categories. You have to be flexible when booking using a discount. For example, in 2008 I received a 40% off PIN. I wanted to book WL, but there weren't any standard view rooms available with the PIN. I had to upgrade to a woods view room and alter my arrival date by one day in order to get the discount. That worked out fine for me and I got the discount. Last year, I was traveling for a long weekend and wanted a moderate. I had a 30% PIN. I couldn't get any room at my first choice, POFQ, using the PIN. At POR, I couldn't get a standard view room using the PIN. But I was able to book a standard view room at CSR.

Just be flexible with resorts, room categories, and dates, and you should be able to find something with the PIN discount.

Keep calling. Someone might have put on a hold and then not booked. Someone might cancel, good luck!

Yep, when I got my PIN I couldn't book any moderate! Ended up getting Pop...

Same here. I really believe they just want people to upgrade and conveniently there are less rooms available at the values and moderates. Right now, I am booked with free dining but would rather take the room only which sadly was not available for my resort.

I got the game on pin a week or so ago and called as soon as I got it. Would have had to downgrade to use it.
