Date and Rate ...............2009

I agree!!!



Question... Do supersaver rates ever go down?? And do AP or AAA rates ever beat the supersavers?

Thanks!

For my 4 night stay next week, the AP rate is 179 and my SS rate is 189. However, with the free internet and $100 bonus, the SS rate is better because I can get my platinum benefits.

How does the free internet work? Do they just take the charge off or do you sign in with your LoewsFirst/YouFirst number?

I have no clue but usually you have to pay with it with a credit card. I am assuming there is a special code that they have or something.

lol, I guess will find out. I'm so glad I signed up last year before they changed to You First, since I'm on Blue Level having never stayed at Loews before. I kinda feel like I'm cheating, which is why I'm not gonna push for a room upgrade. But if I get one I won't complain!

I have never seen the any of the discounts beat Super Saver.........


and, once published, have never seen SS rates go down.

last night changed my original SS rate booking at HRH as it has since reduced, booking now moved to new rate.....don't get too exicted....a $10 saving

We are going on Monday, so I will let you know, when we come back, how it all worked.

Wait a sec...
Honestly, I haven't read up a lot on the change to You First since our stays are typically 2-3 nts and APH rates have been cheapest. I did join LF a couple years ago but only visited once with a qualifying rate. (then we got the ap's) Still at Blue Level I assume.

I'm looking at Labor Day weekend, Sat-Mon at HRH and right now AAA rates are cheapest @ $187 + tax. (seems SS rates are best for longer stays.)
Is there a chance I'd still be considered LF Blue and get an upgrade at check in? What is HRH's upgrade from 2 queens standard? We will be getting 2 rooms, hopefully connecting but not absolutely necessary.

I will still keep checking for APH rates; I think it's still a bit early for those.

$10 means your 3/4 of the way to the Potion Of the Gods With Razzamatazz!!!

I think just your view changes, you might get a water view. Is your Loews number on your reservation now? If Not I would add it. But IMO if you have it set up for connecting rooms, I would keep that option. The convenience of being in connecting rooms really does out weight the 37 seconds you look out the window at your view.

Does that make sense?

With all the talk I thought I would go to the Loews site and now I am wondering if my October stay will be a gold stay...

#

Membership levels are as follows: Basic membership begins upon enrollment; Blue Membership requires two (2) qualifying stays; Gold Membership requires five (5) qualifying stays; Platinum Membership requires ten (10) qualifying stays.

Qualification for Membership Levels will be determined based on a rolling 12-month cycle, beginning July 15th, 2008 (the YouFirst Program Launch Date). Meaning, a Member must stay at a Loews property 2 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Blue status, 5 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Gold status, and 10 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Platinum status.

If a Member does not earn enough qualifying stays during the 12 months following a change in status to progress to the next level of membership or to maintain the Member’s existing level of membership, the Member will be downgraded to the next-lower level of membership on the 1-year anniversary of that change in status (12 months after earning status). For example, if a Member earns Gold status on October 1, 2008, but does not qualify for Gold status as of September 30, 2009 (has not had at least 5 qualifying stays in the most recent 12 months), that Member would be downgraded to Blue status as of October 1, 2009.

Benefits will also be provided on a rolling 12-month schedule. Per the example above, the Member would begin enjoying Gold benefits as soon as he earned Gold status on October 1, 2008 and would continue to enjoy those benefits for the following 12 months, until September 30, 2009. If, at that time, he has not had at least 5 qualifying stays in the most recent 12 months, the Member would be downgraded to Blue status and begin enjoying Blue-level benefits for the following 12 months.

Bolding mine....

Thoughts??

If you were already Gold before they started "You First," my understanding is that you will still be Gold. Loews sent out e-mails around Christmas telling everyone that as a special gift, they would get to remain at the status they had prior to "You First" until the end of 2009. I was Gold then, so I am still gold. If you log into your account on the Loews site, it should tell you your status.

I didnt remember exactly what the email had said... For One Year (meaning expiring in July) or for 2009.

I guess I should plug my Loews first number for that reservation.

Question... Do supersaver rates ever go down?? And do AP or AAA rates ever beat the supersavers?

Thanks!

my AAA rate booked early January, beats both the AP & SS rate...probably because of the shorter span involved than most book here. My trip is only 2 nights. Curious, i did price out 3 days, which is the min SS discount & it is slightly more than the AAA rate per night...which is qualifying toward keeping my Plat status ...as if i'd manage to ever maintain itsure hoping Loews decides to gift again next year , troubled economy & all...it could happen.

ps i never got the email announcement this year

laura - don't go by what the Loews website indicates, twice they've 'shorted me' on stays & i had to call, have it researched & then was updated

Did you book that AAA rate Online?

And I can't seem to log into the loews site, I even requested my password but that was hours ago, and I still dont have it. :-(

I tried to do the same thing a few days ago with exactly the same result.

If you are staying at HRH, the Loews Your First program won't help you.
HRH does not participate in that program.

they have their own program which is All Access.

RPH and PBH are participants in the Loews You First program.

Laura, at the end of last year, Loews sent emails out to present members stating they were giving a "gift" to all members.

They stated that all present members would be able to stay at their present status for 2009.

Therefore, January 2010 would be the start of the year that people are dropped down a color level if they don't meet the criteria during 2009.

What ever level you are now, you will be to the end of this year.

If you do not have the number of stays, different visits that is, for 2009, then effective Jan 1, 2010, you will be dropped one level.

Updated to here! I bet you all thought that I was sleeping on the job. Well, I was, but I was also out of town this past weekend. My wife had business in Denver this week and invited me along. We left last Saturday. I got back tonight and she returns tomorrow night.

Patster.........I don't see your name on the October list........


Book it now.....

We haven't determined how many people will be going yet. I'm sure that my parents are going as they did last year. We're also trying to talk one of my sisters into going with her husband. We tried to get her to go last year but she declined, so I suspect she won't go this year either. I talked to Lisa about it recently and I think that I'll book a room for 4 and if my sister and her husband can go, add a room later.

$10 means your 3/4 of the way to the Potion Of the Gods With Razzamatazz!!!

Did I hear someone mention POTION OF THE GODS!!!!

ok, i was worried you were going to kiss HHN off this year.


whew............




that would be so nice for you sis and husband to be able to join you and the family.

Count me in for HHN. I suspect that our dates will be from either Oct. 7 (wednesday) or 8 (Thursday) and lasting until the 11 (Sunday). I just checked the rates online and the APH rate appears to be the best for us at that time.

Yea, I'd like for my sister and her husband to go. Several times in the past, Lisa and I have accompanied them on Florida vacations. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to leave her 3 children home alone. Their ages are 15, 16 and the oldest one turns 18 next month.
