Bounceback Offers in the Fall: Choice of FD or % off?

[vinotinto]

Hi all! We are going in September and we are NOT interested in free dining, but we are very interested in the % off BB offers (e.g., 40% for deluxe). We are booked with a room % off, not fd. Since September is traditionally FD time, will the BB offer give us a choice between % off or FD?

TIA!

Easy choice for my family of 3: % off is always better for my family. If u search my name u will find a cost comparison for discount off of room versus fd.

Of course it's hard to know just what they will do this year, but usually they don't offer two different types of BB offers at the same time. So, based on the last few years, when you go in September you will probably get the FD BB only, and that (sorry to say!) will be the one you don't want.

If you are willing to pay rack with FD and required ticket purchase, go ahead and reserve--if offered! If you get a % off pin, or it comes out to GP you can always change.

I am curious to see what the bounceback will be for that time period. I booked FD as a bounceback last year and only had to buy a one day base. When FD was released to GP it required a 2 day base.

Given the makeup of my anticipated group for 2011 (2 adults 4 kids) and that we want to do a family suite at ASMu, FD would be helpful to us.

Thanks for the info. Not what I want, but it makes my planning easier, as I don't have to figure out dates and book in 2 months for 2011.

FD is no good for us. I will just wait and be patient. A general public discount is even better than FD for us and a pin code is much better.

For us too!
