Can I Use Gift Card to add the Dining Plan?

[jtovey56]

If I get a $500 dollar gift card, can I add a dining plan to my ticket after I arrive there? or do I have to just use it at restaurants as I go along? Can't you add the Dining Package after you get there?

No, the dining plan can not be added at check in. It has to be added and payed for in advance.

The gift card can be used to pay for the tips that come along with the dining plan.

Thanks, I guess we'd just use it for food.

Can he add the dining now? Then he can use the gift card to pay off his package? (If you are set on the dining plan that is...)

I know you can use a gift card to pay off a room only, I'm pretty sure you can use it for packages too.

No, because packages have to be paid for in full prior to arrival. The GC isn't given until check in.

The only way someone can use the GC that is being offered now to pay for the room would be to book the first 5 nights of a trip as a package to get the gift card and then book the rest of the trip as "room only". Then the GC can be used to pay for those other nights as room only ressies get paid when you are there.

Oh, I read it wrong. I though he was buying a gift card himself. Forgot all about that offer!
