What are the chances they extend the AP Merch discount again?? I know they just did but I'm really hoping they extend it through the end of the year Or just keep it forever haha.

As long as the economy isn't doing great, I think it's at least somewhat likely they'll extend the discount. I think the main reason they have not made it permanent is because they want to be able to take it back it someday, and once they've made a discount an official AP perk, I think it's very difficult to back away from it.

So I wouldn't count on it, but I think you're right to hold out some hope.

Even if they don't extend it, they have the technology to print special merchandise coupons for AP-holders when you buy a meal/etc., so there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to score some sort of discount during your trip.

Is it true that you have to spend at least $10 to get the discount? I tried to use my Deluxe AP last week and then they told me that I needed to spend that much.
