Did anyone else get a free dining PIN?

[sweetpee_1993]

I got a PIN, I think it was, for 35% off room-only or Free Dining ("for most arrivals 1/2 thru 3/7"). Has to be booked by 2/16. I sure wish I could give it away! I booked a January cruise for the boys' Christmas gift using the Kids Sail Free promo on Galveston sailings. Haven't seen anyone else mention it and I know some folks are hoping for free dining.

Good luck on PIN blessings!

I received one via e-mail meant for my in-laws. They went to WDW with us a couple of years ago and I made all the reservations (theirs was a separate reservation than ours). As a result, I receive e-mail offers for them all the time and I have not gotten one in my name for a loooong time. I called Disney to see if I could use the code (knowing full well I couldn't). No luck, so I asked Disney to remove my e-mail address from their information. Hopefully, I will start receiving offers in my name again.

I received a room discount and a free dining PIN. Not going until 2014, wish I could give it to someone who might need it.

I did but it's not during my vacation. Rats!! But I am still praying. I too wish I could give it away!!!

I got one, too, but have no plans on going until next September with the Girls' cruise. Hoping I get something then as I'm planning on adding some days at the World after the Cruise.

I've never gotten a pin or bounce back. That's partly why I stay at the Dolphin now.

I've never received a pin and I've tried all the tricks.

It's just under Special Offers on the website for me - trying to convince Andrew to go with me! Flights at that time of the year are killer, though..

I got them both today and can't use either one since I'm staying off property this time with our 2.5 year old. Drat....

I had a somewhat similar issue. I got the pin, but when I tried to look things up online, it says my zip code is not the person they intended to send the offer to. I tried all the zip codes I've ever had, and none worked. Waited on hold for 30 minutes to talk to the reservation center, and they said my zip code is correct in the system and couldn't explain why the pin is linked to a different zip.

Don't think I'm gonna redeem the code, since I am starting a new job in a couple weeks and don't wanna use my vacation time right away, but I think if I tried that I would run into some issues anyway.

received the e mail pin this morning. I think it is a sign as DH & I were discussing our 25th Anniversary trip and thinking of planning for end of January. We were discussing not taking travel trailer out of snow bank for the trip and just staying at one of the hotels. It's a sign!!!

I've never received an email/pin ever! However, when I called to book a room only discount for this Dec. they lady on the phone told me I had a pin attached to my name in the system. She did quotes using both (I was trying AP rates), some rooms were better discounted with the AP rate and some were better using the pin she had. It's worth your time if you're calling to book to see if there's a discount or pin attached to your family name/address/email. I would have never thought to ask!

I got the same pin yesterday called "Be Part of Our World Again & Save". It was for up to 35% off rooms for most nights 1/2–3/24/13, 4/21–5/22/13 and 8/11–9/28/13 or free dining for most nights for arrivals most nights 1/2–3/7/13.

The pin was under my maiden name & old address, kind of odd. They let me use it, and changed my name/address over, and we booked a May trip with my parents. We were planning on doing that if there was a bounce back in our room in November, so the timing worked out.

I got the holiday room pin offer but not planning on going til at least late next year.

 

[CaptainShortty]

I did! Won't be using it though (my CM perks are better than the pin codes) but I get them regardless because of the many trips I've booked before I became a CM.

I wish I received this offer instead of one with dates for the end of this year. I thought I was reading it wrong so I did call hoping it was for next year. I received it yesterday with offers for September, October, a couple weeks in November and December. What cracked me up is that you have to book these weeks before December 12, 2012. Why would they send an offer for September when it's now October???

I don't know what the rhyme or reason is for pin codes - why some people get them, or some people get certain ones. I wish I could figure it out too! I was waiting on a fall pin code this year & never got one. I booked using the public fall discounts that eventually came out, but I talked to others who had gotten a pin code earlier. You might still get the same pin I got - it's still early for it. =)
