Pin Code

[ShookieJones]

Now I'm not one to complain - I've actually been EXTREMELY lucky when
it comes to receiving PIN codes.

So I've been waiting for one for our upcoming May trip.
So low and behold today one comes into our inbox.

It's for $67 bucks a night per person for a Value, but says
"Call about more great deals on other Disney Resort stays"

So we always stay at a moderate so we called and found out that we
could save a total of $70.00. That's SEVENTY dollars....on the TOTAL bill...not per night.

Now I understand some people NEVER get pin codes, sheeze some people aren't even in a position to go to WDW - and I feel truly blessed to be in a position to do so every year for the last few years.

I'm just saying - sending a pin code to save 70 bucks off a bill that would total almost 4,800 dollars? Why would they bother? :ROFLOL:

With that being said - I've gotten some pretty amazing deals in the past so I'll just count my blessings and keep my fingers crossed something better comes along. :animwink:

I got two pin codes today :lol::lookaroun

Same offer as yours on the first but the second emails looks different but basically says the same thing :shrug:

I've gotten so many pin codes via e-mail but I can never use them b/c they are address to the "Milks family". Milks is the last name of my ex fiancee. Oh well.

Sounds like only one or two of the days during your trip are covered under the PIN code.

We book our trips through AAA travel agency. Have never gotten a pin code. What does it take to get on their mailing list?? Do you have to directly book through Disney?

There was a great article about how to get pin codes on tourinplans.com recently.

Register your email address at www.disneydestinations.com. After that it's (supposedly) totally random. We generally go every year, and one generally comes along just as often (what a surprise!! :animwink

I have been having the same problem, the emails come to me but have my ex boyfriend's name on them. It's rather frustrating. I keep signing uo for stuff under my name hoping that I will start to get some under my name.

I've noticed the easiest way to get a pin code is to go to Disney's website log into your account and search some dates, set everything up, and save it like a possible trip or whatever it is called. If you are getting pins in other peoples names then go get a new free email account somewhere and start you a new disney.com account. Just my opinion but it has worked for me for just about every date I have searched. Even have already gotten a PIN for November of next year(2011)

That's what I thought too Master Yoda - funny thing is the first time wife called the CM told her that this was not an offer it was just a general notice...:brick:

So I had her call back again - (I couldn't call from work) then they came up with the 70 bucks off :veryconfu

WTH ?? I have to call myself tomorrow doesn't make sense...

This begining part is exactly what mine said...only apparently they thought I'd be more intereseted in 70.00 bucks than meeting Mickey and seeing some fireworks :animwink: I guess they're going real light on the offers this year.
Hey it is what it is....

I don't know if I have the stomach NOT to give them my money this year...:lookaroun and stay home...

Ahhhhhh there going to get my money and they know it!!!

With me I think it's b/c the past 5 trips I've taken to wdw have been with him & under his name.

I also received a PIN yesterday. It was for $100 per night at a value?!?!?!? They are either crazy or know that I am already going on a Dissney cruise at that time. The rate doesn't even include theme park passes.

I got my very FIRST pin code email yesterday and it covers the dates we have booked in Aug 2011..but the free dining i have already was $400 less than the pin code offer. :shrug:

Depending on the time of year you are traveling $100 per night at a value is as much as a 30% discount.
