Pin Code!

[olinecoach61]

Just wanted to share that we finally got a pin code we could use today! We saved over $1200 on our July trip! Today was a good day.

How do you get pin codes? Between my wife and my family we go just about every other year and we have never received a pin code. Is there any way to increase your chances or is it just random?

Quick question to all that have gotten a pin code. Did you actively try to get that by doing a certain thing like book a vacation then cancel or order info for the DVC. Trying like heck to get a code

Pin codes are completely random. There is nothing you can do to increase your odds of receiving one

I wonder if it's possible to receive a pin code after booking. Or is Disney too smart for that?

We were already booked, I know I couldn't believe it either. It doesn't seem to make much business sense.

Yes, it's possible. You might even get a code good during your visit. If you do, call Disney. You might be able to apply it to your June vacation. It just depends if you are already getting a discount since Disney only allows one.

I get them both ways.

We already had a discount when I was mailed our pin code. I called and they let me use the pin code deal instead.

I do agree that they are "random" but if someone gets them on a yearly basis, how random is that

How do people get pins? We go to disney every year and stay at the GF for the past ten years.

6/1 - 8/27

That is when I am going I hope I can get that offer. I haven't had a pin code in years.

I have received many PIN codes and have not stayed at a deluxe resort in years. I do get on the site and price out trips I never intend to take, save them, order maps, videos etc...all resorts, value mods and deluxe. Try that and see if it works.

Do you have to be a return guest? We're for our first trip next year, how can we sign up to receive code??

There is no way to sign up to receive a code. Try the above suggestions from @smk. But there is nothing you can do which guarantees Disney will send you a pin code.

I used to get great ones every year and we used them. Then, one year we did not use one and then I did not get another for the next few years! I have no idea why or who gets them, I only know that IF I can, I try to use ones I get and I play on their website often.

Sweet! Glad you could apply the code.

I'm not sure what WDW's pin code system is, but I don't think it is completely random. For a number of years, I was getting about 2 pin codes per year by email. Then, the pin codes suddenly stopped coming after my WDW trip in November 2009 and I have not received a pin code since. Not sure what changed. There may be some element of randomness in the process, but I suspect the marketers at WDW have developed a formula to target certain groups of potential visitors.

Yeah i am not so sure that they are random either. Seems like the same people receive them yearly which is far from random.
