DC rates seem better this year than AP?

[Beka'sMom]

last year AP discounts were about 40% off deluxe in august.

Surprisingly, this year I was quoted a higher rate at BWI w/AP% (about 30% off) than new DC%(about 35% off).

Unfortunately, I am checking in end of Aug- 26th or 27th and DC rates only go to the 24th.

I'm assuming if they have discounted rates in the summer, the fall rates should be better- any thoughts?

So far I'll keep my AP rate which is better than nothing.

I don't have much to say, other than that I think last year's discounts were exceptional, which makes this year's AP rates seem a little tame.

30% off is still pretty good, and perhaps when your dates get closer something better will come along.

Good Luck!

For me, the AP rates were better for our trip mid August. Five nights at YC Concierge-standard view with AP was $1612. DC discount applied was $1749. I'll keep checking, though!

APs are better at the end of August than DCs for me too, for AKL

Beka's mom - if you can change your dates so that your checkin date is August 24. You will get the discount for your whole stay.

August 25th starts the Fall Fantasy pkgs.

i tried w/the dc discount to check in on the 24th, but when the cm tried to book it the computer wouldn,t let the res go through at the discounted price. maybe i should try again w/another cm!
