CAA Discount

[Chickkypoo]

I tried to book a room only reservation for late Nov/early Dec of 2006 with the CAA Discount. I was told by the rep on the phone that if I had wanted to make reservations for that time with the CAA discount, I would have had to have booked between June and September. I told her, are you sure, I'm booking for 2006. She said yes, and got customer service on the phone to confirm this. I asked her about the AAA discount. She said the AAA discount is available all year round, but I'm not eligible for that as I'm a CAA member. I thought they were interchangeable? I thought where ever an AAA card is good for a hotel discount, a CAA card is also good. I told her that it didn't make any sense that to get a CAA discount, I have to book my vacation a year and a half in advance.

I was so upset by the end of the phone call that I told her to cancel my reservation. We thought we'd try a moderate this time as we thought it would be a 20% discount, but I may reconsider the value resorts now.

Has anyone else had any luck with a CAA discount?

Phone back and ask someone esle. I always just ask for the "AAA" discount. I don't even mention CAA.

As previously posted, don't mention CAA only AAA discount. They do not know from the number on the card where you are from. It sounds like someone there was having a bad day.. Call back and get the moderate resorts that your heart is set on !

Have a magical trip

Hi
I had the same trouble when I booked with Hard Rock Hotel, she said there were no discounts available for CAA, but AAA would give a discount. I called back spoke to someone else told her I had CAA and she applied my discount of $72! Just keep trying, you'll get one!

I agree mention the AAA discount. CAA TAs charge more than if you book directly with Disney at the AAA rate.

Good news, I called back and I was able to make a reservation with the discount! I told her AAA/CAA discount, just to make sure I didn't get a surprise when I arrived at the hotel and get hit with the full cost because I don't have AAA. I kind of cringed for a bit, because she said she had to get a code from the help desk. I was thinking, oh, no, here we go again. But she came back with a code, and everything was good

On top of it, we decided to go a little earlier as it's a little warmer in November, so we're getting married a month earlier now! Time to update my ticker, and almost time to book with Disney, I'm soooo excited!

Thanks everyone for the help!
