One discount offer only - I tried the same thing last fall with free dining and a room discount to no avail.

Have them run both options for you - I saved more with free dining (full dining, not just QS) than I would have with a room discount.

If you already booked your trip using the % off, & you want to switch it to the Free QS, just call them up and they'll switch it for you. They can even tell you which deal comes out to be a better money saver. I had booked my trip with the discount and last week got a QS pin as well I called and the CM was very helpful. I ended up switching out the promos and took the PIN instead...it saved me $372...however I am staying at a Value...Pop. So in my case I saved more with the PIN...but if you're staying a Deluxe...the % off the room will be a way better deal!

We are staying at Caribbean Beach so the moderate resort discount outweighs the free QS dining. I just hate that I haven't been able to use the PIN's I've received so far. I always thought they were superexclusive deals before I started getting them. :)

Add to this that we got my wife an AP last year because we went for New Years and were going agian this spring/summer and so far there aren't any AP discounts out there for our trip either. My point being, we have an AP and get lots of PINs and our best deal is still the one out there on the street for everybody. Strange.

We need time for things to happen.
If you use the 40% discount

It's going to be a way better savings than the free dining PIN.

I just called about it yesterday!:D

Speaking of which -- Anybody getting an extraordinary amount of PIN's in their email lately?

I haven't gotten any emails with PIN's recently - where are you getting them and where can I sign up!

In my email roughly about 1 every two weeks over the last 2 months!

That's where I got the original 40% off offer that finally convinced my wife we could stay at the Poly! :animwink:

I don't know if it's a coincidence but it started ever since I started inquiring about information about the DVC to Disney.

I definitely got the one about the 40% offer about a month ago from Disney Destinations, but nothing much since. I wouldn't be surprised if you got on another list when you inquired into DVC. Maybe I should do the same even though I'm several years away from being able to buy into that. Any other sources for special offers you'd recommend?

I'm well away (if ever) from doing anything with DVC...but I honestly doubt it was a coincidence.

Well we are planning our yearly vacation in May...but I have heard people say that when they've gone on to the Disney site and just went through the planning stages and got quotes for vacations that they noticed an increase in pin offers. Give it a shot. It certainly can't hurt.

Good luck. :D

I was hoping we could use both offers too, but nope. I ended up using the room discount at POFQ, and it was a better deal for me. DH & I had already made 4 ADR's at sit down restaurants. Other than those, we are bringing a lot of food with us since we are driving. If we had used dining, we would have been forcing ourselves to eat more to make it worth it, and we're just not big eaters.

You just have to compare the two, and figure out which you'd benefit more from. :wave:

We booked 2 rooms using the % off discount, then I recieved a pin for free quick service, it would have been a savings for 1 of the rooms but not the other, either way we were not able to change the offer for the one room as Pop was full at that time . Apparently they need to cancel the original reservation and re-book.:hammer:

Were the rooms booked under 2 different names? If the 2 rooms were booked under a single name and your name appears on the reservation somewhere then you should have been able to take advantage of the pin code. I was told that as long as the person who received the pin code is listed on the reservation (doesn't have to be the lead person on the reservation, just listed as a guest on the reservation) then they can still take advantage of it. So if both rooms were booked together than both rooms would be able to use the pin code.

Yes, I booked both rooms and the pin code was in my name. However only a certain amount of rooms are held for this pin code and they were not able to change it for us:confused:
