Can't use entertainment rate for Sat.night only???

[Bchamp]

Ok, I might be blonde, and I know that since I quit my job 2 years ago to stay home and talk to tiny kids all day long, that I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, however, Loews has me completely confused...
I called and made a tentative ressie today with Loews for 2 nights at HRH......April 7 and 8 for entertainment rate of 129.00 + tax, I called back tonight after talking to hubby and told them I wanted to confirm it but wanted to drop 2nd night.
All of a sudden, they tell me I can't get the rate of 129.00 unless I stay 2 nights. After a few minutes, she changed it and said I could stay on Sunday night at that rate. Since I am new to this whole entertainment, loews blue, universal fan club thing, I am uninformed of all the rules and regulations. For all you pros out there, is this accurate info? I know that they are still working out all the kinks, and that is fine, I will not be upset if once we are there we don't get our bathrobes, etc, (except I still would like a coffee pot LOL), I just think maybe I was wrong in calling Loews and I should have called HRH directly...please give me your opinion.
Thanks a bunch!!

Barb,

I haven't heard of a limit for the # of nights you must book.

Which date do you want to book? Maybe there is a special event that weekend or something.

I originally booked april 7 and april 8, a saturday and sunday. Everything was fine, when I called back later in the night to drop saturday, thats when they said no entertainment rate for 1 night. When I questioned it further, they put a supervisor on who said that basically, Loews could impose any restrictions that they wanted to about the entertainment rate.
But then like I said, when I dropped Sat and picked Sunday night, they were fine with that.
Strange?

I certainly ran into restrictions when I was trying to book a stay there too, but it was a four night minimum then ... but that was the second week they were open.

Saturday is probably their highest occupancy night (people starting vacations on Saturday/ending them on Sunday, so you get overlap), so it doesn't surprise me they'd have such a restriction.

Unfortunately I have run into that at various hotels with the EC....alot of them do state that you must stay X amount of days or over a weekend. We arrive on a Wednesday and am checking out on Friday, so we avoided the over the weekend/2 day thing...is that an option for you?

fyi...

I made a reservation the other day for one night stay on Saturday, December 1.

They gave me the Entertainment rate, no problem. Just today I added the night before, still no problem getting the Entertainment rate.

When making ressies with the EC are you asked for a Card# ? And has anyone been able to get the EC rate for Memorial Day Weekend?

 

[beattyfamily]

No, you are not asked for the number. He told me just to present the card when I arrive and it must be vaild, meaning not expired.
