Just got off the phone with Disney. Switch my All Satr Sports ressie from my AAA discount to the AP rate and saved a total of $50.92. Old rate of $94.88 to a new rate of $89.22 (tax included in prices). I asked about the Wilderness Lodge, standard room and they stated they did not have any at the AP rate but I could get a courtyard view at $211 plus tax per night.

Ressie is for 9 nights.

It looks like mods are $40 off.

Ok, i got it!
10/18/06 - 10/21/06 (Regular season)
Grand Floridian Lagoon View: 405.00/ny - 75.00 off per night
10/21/06 - 10/26/06 (Regular Season)
AKL Savannah View: 255.00/nt - 75.00 off ler night
Basically what i saved is going to pay for my AP - I saved 465.00 but hey its still better than the AAA rate i had, and it pays for my admission!

All of the information is now on the AP website, though the booking part is not working correctly. The online code is FCB. THe dates for regular rate discount ($79 value) is 10-5 to 11-22; and the dates for value season discount ($59 value) is 10-1 to 10-4 and 11-26 to 12-23. Looks pretty much like the same rates we have had during regular season and value season this year. I tried to book online but it wasn't working yet.

rhiannonwales
08-16-2006, 07:42 AM
It looks to me that this is not a flat rate discount, doing the math, its like 15.5% Not that great for an AP rate but i'll take anything! If a general code comes out that has almost the same savings, i'll switch to that and use the 450.00 i saved on extra souvies!

Ok this confused me for a sec. When i called i got less than 75.00 at AKL and i couldnt figure out why. Now ive got it - she quoted me the GF rate without tax, and the AKL WITH tax! I was getting mad thinking i got gypped! LOL i now have to go fix my other post.

Just got off the phone- this is what was quoted to me:
Poly, GV $289
WL, CYV $230

BC SV $265 WV $345
AKL Sav View $250 DLX Sav. View $315 StView $169

You need to let folks know if this is for value season or regular season, since the discounts were released for 2 different seasons at the same time. This could get confusing for some folks today.

Remember value season rates are 10/1/06 to 10/4/06 AND 11/26 to 12/23.

Regular rate season is 10/5/06 to 11/22/06.

the code for booking via phone is different than the online one. The phone code is back on the first page, i think its SBZ.

Called at 8AM when I saw the boards--I got *nothing* for the 1st wk of Dec--in fact, I could barely get a deluxe room! Right now we have the Poly GV ($315) 8 nights, no discounts (AP or AAA). Apparently that's become a very busy week to visit this year...
If anyone else did well for the 1st wk of Dec let me know, cuz I'll probably be calling to try to switch every couple of days or so. :(

No as long as you have the AP when you check in you can book the rate. Sometimes they dont even ask you for the AP at check in but lets not go there and start that flame war again! :rotfl:

That's too bad. I agree (though some folks disagree with me) that week is extremely busy (0r at least parts of that week are). We were there the first week of December during the Christmas taping and AKL was sold out...lots of VIPs there. Keep trying, plus when the AP website comes up, you can always do some searching there.

I found the SAME thing... first week of December was scarce of discounts. I moved our dates to the week starting 12/10 and found more AP discount availability. Even then, the discounts at the Deluxe resorts weren't that great. Last year, we were finding discounts of about 35% at the Deluxe resorts and this year the quotes were 20% off at best.

Right now I have:
Poly GV w/AAA - 11/18 - 11/25 - $2591
8 day park hoppers for 5 people - $1332
Total - $3923

I COULD get:
Poly same room & dates w/AP - $2276
I need to buy an AP - $462
8 day park hoppers for 4 people - $1065
Total - $3803

SAVINGS of $120!!!

Then if I have an AP...I could get the DDE card since we ar not on the dining plan.

Do I get the AP or hope for a room only general code tomorrow?

I am so angry right now. I got on hold waited, then they transferred me, then I got someone that took 10 minutes to get my information. Didn't know what they were doing and then told me they had nothing available at the WL. I asked about the other hotels and I just got frustrated and told her I would call back!

So upset.

We are staying 2 nights 12/7-12/9 before our cruise...I have been calling and checkig the website for a few weeks as I hadn't booked a room yet. For the longest time nothing was avail at GF, Poly, CR or WL except the CR suites. (to the tune of $1800 for 2 nights) well the Poly GV opened up I called and snagged it at $315 RACK RATE for the two nights. I finally got through this morning and the CM said that the MK resorts were so busy during that first week that no AP rates were available for them and the only thing she could even find with an AP rate was CBR....I am pretty bummed but am glad we have a room - even if it is $315 a night, next year I am booking early!

You dont need to buy the AP yet. Why not book the AP now before its gone and then IF codes come out the public switch it?
Personally what you will save with the DDE will probably justify the AP rate. Originall i was thinking of doing what i suggested to you, but the more i think about it the more i think that getting DDE will be worth the savings!

No boomersmom the AP rate is stricly room only. However if you buy the AP you can get the Disney Dining Experience for something like 60.00 and that will save you a lot on dining.

This is exciting. My story is this. We let our AP's lapse, due to financial circumstances. I was thinking about buying new ones. HOWEVER, I got a quote for the Visa cardholder package yesterday.

Poly, 7 nights, 7 day base ticket = $2,637.00. I guess we could add park hoppers if we so choose for $45 each.

If the Poly AP rate is $289 that would be.

7 x 289 = $2,023
2 AP's = 924
TOTAL = $2,947

That's more than the package so I'm torn. ALSO, I'm assuming $289 a night for the Poly includes tax - would someone please confirm?

Thanks

I am anxious to call.

Anyone have a price for AP for POFQ....I have AAA discount booked now.

Same results for me. After 40 MINUTES ON HOLD Staying 12th - 23rd only thing avl was CV at WL for $230. It came out to be about $70 more expensive than the package I booked yesterday with Disney Visa for the CV there. I figure the "more expensive" part was due to the fact that I would have to buy the AP and that is more expensive than the MYW + hopping + WP&M tics we have in the package.

Good luck to the rest of you :thumbsup2

Where did you see 2 APs for $924? I am looking on the WDW site, and they are $595 each (including tax).

I rec'd this message this morning as well.

I found the SAME thing... first week of December was scarce of discounts. I moved our dates to the week starting 12/10 and found more AP discount availability. Even then, the discounts at the Deluxe resorts weren't that great. Last year, we were finding discounts of about 35% at the Deluxe resorts and this year the quotes were 20% off at best.

Are you set on YCWV? The standard rooms at the Epcot resorts are $265.

Pam,

Where did you see 2 APs for $924? I am looking on the WDW site, and they are $595 each (including tax).

$595 are the premium APs, the regular ones are $434 a piece (plus tax)

I'm so bummed!!! :guilty:


There are no AP rates for anything during our timeframe of 10/5 - 10/10 except at WL courtyard, which we're just not that interested in. I'm so surprised POFQ and POR have nothing for the AP holders. At least we budgeted at rack rate, but it's such a disappointment!

08-16-2006, 08:55 AM
You dont need to buy the AP yet. Why not book the AP now before its gone and then IF codes come out the public switch it?
Personally what you will save with the DDE will probably justify the AP rate. Originall i was thinking of doing what i suggested to you, but the more i think about it the more i think that getting DDE will be worth the savings!

DDE is the icing on the cake for me, and I'm so going for it.

Need help...

Right now I have:
Poly GV w/AAA - 11/18 - 11/25 - $2591
8 day park hoppers for 5 people - $1332
Total - $3923

I COULD get:
Poly same room & dates w/AP - $2276
I need to buy an AP - $462
8 day park hoppers for 4 people - $1065
Total - $3803

SAVINGS of $120!!!

Then if I have an AP...I could get the DDE card since we ar not on the dining plan.

Do I get the AP or hope for a room only general code tomorrow?

I went and booked it. My savings will go down IF we decide to add the wanter n more option onto the park hoppers & then I'll need to get a premium AP.

But since we aren't using any dining plan, the DDE card should save us some $$$.

I didn't get it! They didn't have any king rooms for POFQ. Rates were $44 off rack rates and they couldn't apply it to my reservation because I booked it online -- I never heard of such a thing before -- I have my husband calling this time and trying to see what he can do. They did tell me WL was going for $169/night and GF $405/night!!!

I'm on hold now for about 10 minutes so far...

I'm booked at the AAA rate at Pop Century...around $63 per night during our 12/16 to 12/23 stay in value season. I'm looking to upgrade to a moderate if they are under $100 per night.

Did anyone book a moderate during value season at the AP rate yet? What was your rate (pre tax or after tax)?

I'll let you know what I get when I'm finished holding....

I'm looking into cheapest rooms (standard, no frills) at any of the following:

Well, just spent (25 minutes on hold) 30 minutes on the phone with reservations. It doesn't look like the campground is participating. Was looking for 12-02 - 12/16 at Ft. Wilderness, partial hookup and the rate he quoted me was HIGHER than my AAA rate.

I may try again later and instead of trying to apply the rate to my existing reservation, I'll just try for a new reservation and see if that makes a difference.

Looks like rates during Thanksgiving week for standard views are $115 + tax for CSR and $169 + tax for AKL. For those with experience with both (or either), is AKL worth $54 more a night than CSR (i.e. which is better deal)? Thanks

I am very happy with the savings!!!

Just for reference.......they said NO other Mods, WL, AKL, or VALUES for the 8th and 9th.
Also, no WL for the 15&16....I didn't check values.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I can finally start counting down!!!!!!!!

I got my one night!!!!! Poly 10/12 - Garden View $325 inc tax

DD and I live in Orlando, so staying at deluxe resort is a treat (I CAN'T justify it too often!)

No school on Oct 12th or 13th, so it's a mini vacation. It will be so nice for leaving the party late - no driving home - even though it's only 35 min!!!!


Okay - now I'm set for the next few months -

1) 10/12 - MNSSHP with room and LTT for dinner & B-fast at Ohana's on
10/13
2) Thanksgiving dinner at Hollywood & Vine (unless I luck into a cancellation somewhere else)
3) MVMCP 12/1 - Dinner at CP
4) Christmas Eve Christmas Proc - 5:00pm eating lunch at Japan (DD loves sushi)
5) Christmas morning b-fast at CP.

I guess I need something for New Year's Eve or Day... my mother will be here!

On hold for 35 minutes and got exactly what I wanted. Pop standard room, during regular season (Oct.14) one night (before moving to WLV) at the $79 a night rate. Surprisingly the CM told me I also had a pin attached to my name for $84 a night, if the AP rate was not available, the pin rate was. Once she got the AP rate, I didn't need the pin rate. I got the guaranteed non-smoking as my only request. I had a great CM, so pleasant and confident of what she was doing. I was on hold early this AM, but had to hang up after 20 minutes because work got in the way. I leave tomorrow for WDW so needed to get this one night ressie taken care of before I left. I could've stay at any of the values since I was only there one night, but Pop was my first choice. Now I need an AP rate for a couple of days early February, so have a long wait for that one.

Beach Club Std View sold out for Thanksgiving week. There was some availability left at YC - $265/night, pretty much same as everyone else has posted. They are SWAMPED there. I didn't get any other quotes except that there was no availability at WL for that week (or at least for our dates).

Good luck to all!

FYI- When the AP rate was unable to be applied to my ressie at WL, I asked if there would be more AP rates released throughout the day- and she said "absolutely!" So... if you don;t get what you need now, keep trying to call through the day! You may get what you need!!

Good LUCK!

Converted to room only yesterday to pkg, adding a 3rd night.

After subtracting cost of base tix & dp, same price anyway.

Only benefit is 1 extra night @ CR & free financing.

It's a lot of pages, so maybe I missed it, has anyone gotten a mod regular season rate yet? Or if anyone has heard of room availability from 11/3-11/11 (or nearby) in the mods or AKL? I'm waiting on GP and am just trying to give the family an idea if we might be switching hotels with a lot of pixie dust.

also, yesterday I talked to a very kind CM who was able to give some oblique info on new codes (his words, "you'll know before 8/17 what the codes are" so he might even have been referring to this one!). If anyone gets a super-kind CM and you are on hold reading this now, could someone ask if - with the understanding that they cannot give a straight yes or no answer - if there is the possibility of more codes opening in the next day or so? I'd call myself but I'd rather leave the phone line open for someone who might be booking.

Hate To Tell You But Just Got Off The Phone With Cs...no Rooms Avail 11-30 To 12-6 For The Ploy, Cr, Wl, Porrs, Porfq,...all They Have Is Akl Standard $134 Or Savanna For $214 Or Coronado Springs At $99. She Also Mentioned Ssr But I Was Not Interested So Did Not Get The $$. She Said That Week Is Extremely Busy And The Deluxe Resorts Are Full! I Am A Little Leary Of That...i Think They Just Do Not Want To Give Too May Rooms Out At The Passholder Rate. I Should Have Asked If There Was Availablity With Not Rate? Hope This Helps!!

actually I have been trying to get a room (rack rate) at the GF, Poly, WL or CR for 12/7-12/9 and nothing has been available except suites at CR...a GV at the Poly opened up and I snagged it. (no Ap rate though!)

I had PORS rack rate for 11/23-11/26 @ $155/night. Just applied the AP and moved over to CS @ $115/night!! Saved $120!!! Was also quoted for the same time $135 at CBR and $345 YCWV. Allstars Music was available but I didn't jot down the rate. No availability for PORS, POFQ, AKL, WL or CR.

Also...I put one in for 12/22-12/25 at Wilderness Lodge Standard View @ $134/night!! They have all the mods available at $99/night.

BTW My CM was Fawn and she was fantastic!!

The differences is occurring because the discounts are off two different seasons at the same time. It appears to be the same amount of discount, but since the rack rates are so different between value season and regular season it's hard to keep track. People travelling mid-October are seeing a low rate that someone mid December is getting, only to be disappointed when there savings is not that low for them. Remember is you book during value season, your rate will stay at value rate and if you book while still in regular season, your rate again stays the same. Sometimes booking two different reservations will help save money too when you are changing season, from high to low.

That first week of Dec. is the week they film the Christmas thing if im not mistaken. Very busy, and lots of celebrities taking up rooms at the Deluxes. Thats probably why its hard to get AP rates for.

I have to say, I've never found it particularly busy the first few weeks of Dec., but the celebrity thing has me excited! This will be my first stay at a Deluxe during that time... a celeb spotting would be icing on the cake!

I had both good and bad news:
Couldn't get an AP rate on my Poly res for 12/2-12/5. :sad1:
Did get POR for $99 ($111.38 w/tax) 11/30-12/2. :yay:

AKL for first week in December we saved a total of $12.00 for the week stay. The reason we were told was we were already on a AAA discount. We are staying in a concierge savannah view room. Well, 12.00 is better then nothing.

That's weird. I originally had a AAA rate for my split stay.
GF Lagoon 10/18/ - 10/21 rack 485, AAA 437, AP 405 per night
AKL savannah 10/21 - 10/26 rack 330, AAA 297, AP 250
I got a much higher savings than you did, i wonder if they made a mistake? I was given the AP rate (75.00 off) of the rack rate of my rooms but i still save about 40.00 per night.

Question for experienced AP users. You can book up to 3 rooms with an AP. If I am at one resort can I book rooms at another for other traveling in my party or do we all have to be at the same resort?

I was gonna check in and give friend my pass to check in while we were doing something else.


I've used my AP once and was not asked to show it either.

Well I was on hold for about 25 minutes and tried to apply the discount to our reservations at the POFQ for Nov. 18th to 25th. There were no more discounts for that time. Also WL is completely booked for that time period. The CBR, POR, and CSR had rooms available at $115 a night. So I changed our reservations to the Coronado Springs Resort. Our previous reservations for two rooms costed us $2419.76, now with my AP discount the CSR will cost us $1811.00 for two rooms. Savings = $608.76 Awesome!!!

I just got off the phone with a very kind CM, but for our dates at the GF, the AP rate was almost $300 (total) than my AAA rate. But, I have a Honeymoon Suite, so maybe that was it.... :confused3

I stuck with my AAA rate...

It's not just you, don't worry. If you have one of the higher priced rooms reserved, the AAA discount is larger than the AP discount. It's because the AAA discount is a percentage off the price (in your case, 15%), but the AP discount is a flat dollar amount off. On the higher priced rooms the AAA discount is greater. DH called to see which way we would be better off for our room at the GF sugar loaf concierge, and the AAA discount was better for us than the AP rate.

Hi All!

I was able to change my AAA reservation and applied an AP discount for a regular Savannah view room at the AKL and saved $290.00 off of the AAA rate for a 10 night stay in December.

For those who are interested here are AP nightly rates for AKL for value season:

Standard Room: $134/nt
Pool Room: $159/nt
Regular Savannah: $214/nt
Deluxe Savannah: $279/nt
Concierge: $364/nt

When I called a few minutes ago it sounded like there were still rooms availabe in each of the above categories for the 2nd week of December.

Cheers,

You definitely don't want to switch to the week of Christmas. That is the absolute busiest time of the year according to all the Disney guidebooks and experts. We went in early December back in 2004 and had very light crowds the whole week. For the parade taping, only the MK was more crowded, and even then most of the crowd was on Main Street for the actual filming of the parade. We didn't find that the rides had long lines at all. Don't let the lack of discount availability scare you away from the 1st week of December.

I think it's just that concierge rooms are rarely discounted.

I had AAA discounts already and had no problems. I also just said I wanted to apply the AP code.

If I May Ask...what Did You Pay For The Dolphin? Does The Swan And Dolphin Have Ap Discounts Too?

I don't think the Swan and Dolphin have AP discounts. I'm using the government employee rate. It started at around 175 a night, but by the time I was done upgrading to an Epcot view with a balcony, I was up to 250 a night. :rolleyes:

Haven't seen many people looking for our time frame so I'll post what they told me:

We're looking for 1 night only before our DVC stay at VWL. We needed Nov. 4 only. Nothing at all at WL. CR MK Guaranteed view was offered at $345. Poly completely unavailable. Was offered Lodge at GF in the mid $400's but not what I wanted.

Finally found standard at AKL for $169. That's $80 off rack rate during regular season. Booked it. Also asked about mods and she had CBR or POR (no FQ available) for $115. I didn't ask about Epcot area resorts but I might call back and check on those too.

Wonder if it's worth calling back again at another point to see if anything at WL has opened. It would be so much easier not to have to change resorts (beyond going from the hotel to the villas). Could just leave the bags w/ the valet and get them later on. Now we'll have to check out of AKL, bring the bags over and leave them for later if the room is not available.

Well, we've never done AKL so this will be a new experience for us.

I got 392.66 for the Grand Floridian, Lagoon View for the week of Dec 10-16, 2006.
Not included above.

Great availability for me for the one night I need (11/3)...DVC stay at OKW the other nights. I did not check every resort but, of the ones I checked online, only Contemp. and POFQ came up as not available.
The All Stars were right at $90/night
Mods were $129
AKL was $190
BW was $298
Poly $325
Yacht $388

Good luck to all.

On the phone now...
My current reservation is at Contemporary 12/19 - 12/26 - Tower MK view -Rack Rate $433 a night. :faint: There's no discounts available for that date. CM said that since the Tower Rooms are sold out for that period there probably wouldn't be a discount available. No AAA - No AP. Gosh I sure hope the view is worth it!

I don't know exactly how it works with the Villas or DVC....but, usually....when you change resorts or rooms, you can call and have them pick up your luggage from your room and transport it to your new resort. You can even leave your luggage in your room and head out to the parks and they will transfer your stuff to your new resort without you having to be there.

Speed :teleport:

Rooms available at Pop right up till last night - both preferred and standard - and suddenly this morning, within minutes of AP being released, there were no rooms at all for 12/2 through 12/10.. Sounds odd to me.. :confused3

Just because there are rooms available does not mean that there are rooms available that they will attribute the code to . . . . unfortunately they are two separate critters. :(

I was barely on hold at all. I'm never going to get rid of my rollover minutes. :)

I booked a cabin at FW and saved almost $480 on our 6 night stay (11/26 - 12/02).

Rack Rate $1613.28 including tax
AP Rate $1134.00 including tax
Savings $479.28

Mmm.. So I've been told.. But considering the very large number of rooms at Pop you would think there would be "something" today.. I was offered 2 different All Stars hotels (which are already supposed to be booked solid due to the Pop Warner groups) but I'd rather not be right smack dab in the center of all that "action".. LOL

When I called I got much the same thing, but Poly was sold out, on the phone and when I finally got through on the website. And the website only gave me water view at BW which was much higher than your number above. I really wanted the WL since we're following the one night (11/4) with our DVC stay at VWL like you are at OKW.

Speed, I knew that they would bring the bags over, but I have also heard of significant delays. Since we'll have a car, we can bring them ourselves, check in and leave them. I just wanted to avoid the hassle of driving to another resort. If I got WL, I could have come down to the lobby, dropped the bags, checked back in at the counter and been off. No big deal.

Spoke w/ dh and he's fine w/ AKL. Particularly since it's much less $ wise than the other deluxe options.

I had AAA discounts already and had no problems. I also just said I wanted to apply the AP code.

It depends on the AAA discount. Sometimes you are better off on the higher priced rooms, such as concierge, using the 15% off discount rather than the AP rate.

I just checked on some hotels, the mods actually, for that week. i do not have a disney visa, but wanted to be sure it owuld even be worth my while to try to get a general public discount. The only mods available that week are CSR and CBR. I checked 12.2-12.8. The savings from I was told, amount to $40 a night off the room . But it does have to be booked as a package. It still amounted to $270 off for 6 nights. Not too bad, I think.

It's not just you, don't worry. If you have one of the higher priced rooms reserved, the AAA discount is larger than the AP discount. It's because the AAA discount is a percentage off the price (in your case, 15%), but the AP discount is a flat dollar amount off. On the higher priced rooms the AAA discount is greater. DH called to see which way we would be better off for our room at the GF sugar loaf concierge, and the AAA discount was better for us than the AP rate.

::yes:: Elizabeth your right (as usual ) :hug: :) I did call back. This is what I was told.

Rack Rate for ALK CL - 435.00 (value season)
AAA rate - 369.00
AP Rate - 364.00

Total savings from rack rate for one week - $ 497.00
I am very happy with that and DH will be also.

Now, for the Poly part of our stay they did not have any rooms available at all at the AP rate. I understand there is a VISA rate coming out soon. Maybe I can do something with that at the Poly. :yay:

The Visa Disney Rewards rate is already out, code ZBD. I don't think there will be a general visa rate, it'll likely be a General Public rate and not limited to Visa cardholders.

Just booked GV room at the GF for 8 nights at 2592.00!! That just saved me 640$ off rack rates.

Just fyi I had her price the Lagoon View for the same stay it came out to 3141. only a 300$ discount. How odd.

I just saved about $180 over my AAA discount at the Poly for 4 nights Nov. 15-19. Very happy about that. At first the CM said that my total would now be $974. I about fell out. But then he said "Oh, that was the total for your airfare". My total at the Poly is now $1301 and it was $1481 for 4 nights. Still, saving any money is good, but $974 would have been wonderful :cloud9: This discount will help pay for mine at DD's food anyway.

I was surpised to find the Disney Visa Rewards rate was quite a bit better than the AP rate for me. For seven nights from 10/17-10/24 at Pop, it was $526, including 2 one day MYW base tickets with the Visa rate. Those same seven nights, without the MYW ticket was $622 with the AP rate. I'm staying with the Visa rate.

Wow! This seems unbelievable! I guess I'll have to check out the Disney Visa rate! If I can get the same # of nights, plus tickets, for less $$, that seems like a no-brainer.

We were already booked at Pop Dec. 2-6 with a AAA rate. The deluxe prices are still too high for me since this is supposed to be a "budget" trip, and Pop doesn't have anything at the AP rate. BUT the AP rate is only $4 per night lower. She offered to check All Stars, but there is NO WAY I am going to go stay with the Pop Warner hoodlums. I'll just keep the Pop ressie at the AAA rate. :)

anyone else waiting to hear from their Dreams agent? Nervous/excited to see what she was able to do:)

I heard from my DU agent this morning and she was not able to get the AP discount for the WL for Dec. 6-13. I do have AAA rates. I have gone to WDW in early Dec. each year since 1992 and this is the first time in about 10 years that I haven't received a very good room discount. This is not counting the first couple of years when I didn't know about discounts. I think the secret is out that this is a great time to go to WDW. In the past it has been nice weather, Christmas decorations and light crowds, but it looks like the light crowds may be something in the past.

I believe it is a huge cheerleading competition. I think it is the first week of December and ends the 9th or 10th. I think that is big reason behind the reduced availability of resort rooms for that week.

We only got the one day MYW base ticket, since we already have APs, but it still was a better deal. :) We'll save the one day tickets for later and apply them to the purchase price of new APs once the ones we have expire. Good luck getting a deal!

No availibility at GF,Poly, quoted $115.00 a night at CBR

I'm not very impressed with that deal. I have CBR at $110/night with a AAA discount.. I would hope that an AP would bring better benefits than that. :confused3
