Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay It Forward Bin OUTDATED

We will be there 9/19-9/26 and would love to participate!
I thought I sent a PM, but there is nothing in my sent folder so I'm not sure if it worked. Sorry if this is a duplicate request. :confused3
 
We used the Pay It Forward bin on our last trip, and although we didn't use much, I was so happy to have a place to put our stuff in. It usually just goes in the trash and I hate wasting. I agree with Chelley, I don't understand why this is so hard. If you want to participate, you should have the decency to follow the simple rules! Last time we used it, the person after us never gave me his real name, even though I had requested it, and when I'd forgotten to put the diamond AAA parking pass in, I figured it would be no big issue and called the desk to connect me to him, so we could meet up and I could put it back in for others to use. I was pretty upset when he used a fictitious name and I was unable to put the pass back in. I had no hesitation giving the person before me my name, and we even had each other's cell numbers just in case. It was super easy to pick it us at bell services in the main building and as per instructed, I dropped it off in the same location. I did so the evening before check out so that I wouldn't run out of time, and I was so grateful to everyone who had participated and my daughter was thrilled beyond belief with the pool inflatable that she used over and over. Please folks, if you are going to sign up, use your real name, at least to the people before and after you, and drop the bin back off at the main building bell services the day before you leave so you don't run out of time. It would be a shame if this stopped and we couldn't participate in a wonderful idea. Thanks Chelley for all your hard word, it can't be easy to keep this going when so many people mess it up.
 
Any update on bin 1? We are signed up for bin 1 for 2/21-2/28 so just thought I would check.

I participated in the back in 2012 and BINs have periodically gone missing, and it's a real shame. I'm sure once or twice it's been a bell services issue, but mostly it's carelessness on the part of the participants.

I don't think a deposit as was suggested is going to fly with the dis rules on money. But, how about making it a requirement for users to connect via text at least a month prior.

So like in Southbound's case, she and the person ahead of her did fine, but the guy behind her wouldn't have, and she could have notified Chelley who would have replaced Guy-behind with someone willing to participate fully.

Just a suggestion. I know people freak out a little about personal details & the internet. But really, this is a personal exchange. So if you don't want to, you don't have to. you can buy your own things and leave your leftovers in the donation box (if that's still going on).

Sounds like a good plan to me, Candleshoe! Like you say, if you don't want to give out at least your name and a cell #, then don't sign up. It's a shame so many people are not showing some common courtesy. It will be a big shame if we lose this privilege!
 
EmilyATL,
Were you able to get a bin this week while you are down there? We will be down there in a few weeks and are signed up for Bin 2. I just wondered if you were able to use it.

Thanks
Ali
 
I can't send a PM to chelley for some reason. We would like the bin from feb 28- march 7. Is this possible? I tried sending a pm awhile ago but I'm not sure if it worked as I didn't hear back.

Thanks
 
Will be at BC from 11th August until 1st September, so Bin 1 might be good (if it turns up or gets restarted) as someone signed up for 1st September. Is 21 nights too long to have it?
Unfortunately I cant work out how to send a PM now that the boards have changed. If you let me know then I will try.
Anyway, would love to take part. This is our 7th visit and only discovered this recently. We always have lots of stuff left over so would be nice to pass onto someone.
Thanks

Two ways
1. click inbox, and 'Start a New Conversation', then you'll type their name into the to box.
2. click the person's avatar and choose 'Start a Conversation'

If you click on their name and go to their profile page, you can also leave a message there, but, that is NOT private, that's a Profile Message which can be seen by everyone.
 
Thank you. Unfortunately it wont allow me to start a conversation with Chelley00. I think others had same issue.
 
I was the person before EmilyATL. I never heard from her, but I certainly left it there for her with her name on it so I hope she got it. :)
 
Okay, I'm here! I've had laptop issues and couldn't log on forever. My app wasn't working and it's too hard to update the first post from the iphone anyhow. I am caught up as far as the PMs that I have received. I'm off to figure out why no one else can PM me.

Man, I'm not a fan of the new boards
 
All my privacy settings say that members can start conversations etc with me. Not sure why it's not working. Can someone else try

The app is no more, it only worked on the old forum. Come down to the Tech board and there are some tips and tricks for getting used to the new software :)
