Connections or Hotwire

[TEK224]

Which do you use and why?

Are there different prices, membership fees, better customer service?
All opinions welcome!

I only know about hotwire and I have nothing bad to say about them although I have heard the customer service isn't that knowledgable! BUT I am very happy with their delivery !!!! I have ordered from them a few times and gotten everything within a few days ! AND the $5.00 back on each gift card is a wonderful perk !! The membership fee is 7.95 a month but I found a coupon for $10.00 after joining and I got that pretty quickly!! it is also very easy to cancel whenever you want !

I was also a Hotwire member. I joined around the 15th of the month using the 30-day free trial and ordered everything I wanted the same day (PHP's, meal vouchers, and giftcards). I immediately sent in the $10 rebate form you get for placing your first order. I checked my credit card statement online right after the first of the following month and saw that I had already received the rebates on the giftcards I ordered. That same day the check arrived in the mail for the $10 rebate. I called just a couple of days later and cancelled so I never even had to pay the $7.95 monthly charge. I had no problems what-so-ever and will join again as soon as we schedule our next visit to WDW.

I'm planning to join next month to get the vouchers we'll need for our upcoming trip...can someone tell me where you're finding the 10.00 rebate?

I have belonged to both this year. They are owned by the same company (Dealpass), have the same prices and the same shipping options.
So it's pretty much your choice.

The only differences I can see are:

1) Hotwire's monthly price is lower if you stay in beyond the free 30 days ($8.95 I think, rather than $14.95 for Connections).

2) You can sometimes get a free giftcard w/Connections and earn 950 reward points thru Creations Rewards, or $4.75 thru Quick Rewards. With Hotwire, you get $10 check back.


One thing to consider is join one now for the free 30 day trial ~ then join the other later if you need more Disney stuff or Giftcards.
