Merchandise Card???

[Freckles]

Has anyone heard of this?? Apparently Disney has pin/code sent to emails for upcoming vacationers....you can purchase a MC worth $500 for $395, $600 for $455 & $1000 for $695????? I hear that they are sending them out around 18-19 days prior to your arrival. 407-939-7761 is the number but not everyone can take advantage..have to have a pin on your reservation????? This is only for merchandise-not food or tickets, upgrades etc.

Where did you hear about this, Freckles? Smells slightly scam-ish to me...If I got one of these I'd be calling my local Better Business Bureau to see what they could tell me about it. But maybe I'm just jaded.

Well I have heard of it yep :yes: I read about it last year. I don't know how many people got the PIN but it sounded like quite a good deal to me for those that did!

As you say, you had to have been sent a PIN code and if you weren't then you can't buy one (just like the special PIN code savings that are sent to people).

There were some restrictions

"This Credit -- which is supposed to be valid at over 150 locations at the WDW Resort and, more importantly, has no expiration date -- does come with a few conditions. Chief among these being that:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get that pin!!! Although our trip is 17 days away-I don't think we will be getting one. I just may call the # to see if it's attached to our reservation-I guess it wouldn't hurt!
