Disney Visa Reward Offers -Room Discount

[CinderellaDreamer]

What are your dates? Are you sure they're within the offer?

Yep, 1/2-1/7. They wouldn't even ask for my dates. Just said there was no disney visa offer available. So frustrating!

I did end up calling back this afternoon, and I got a wonderful,friendly cast member who knew immediately about the offer and booked the Poly for my dates!

Thanks for your suggestions and support! I appreciate it!

CinderellaDreamer, I am glad you got this taken care of. It is so frustrating when you talk to the CM's or really any other type of customer service person and they treat you like you are crazy or trying to pull a fast one.

I had an experience like this where I knew I was right and the CM was pretty nasty about me being wrong. I demanded a supervisor but instead of a supervisor getting on the phone (about 3 minutes later) the CM came back on the line and took care of what I needed. I do customer service and we *almost* always release our call to a supervisor if it becomes argumentative. There is no reason for it.

Any word on whether this applies to the general public yet?

On the phone right now booking with discount.

 

[janabananas]

I am on hold right now, waiting to get through.....

 

[MamaToDavis]

Woo-hoo! I called at stroke of 7 and applied the GP discount to our reservation. Saved $880!

 

[hotblooded]

Woo! Ain't no party like a Disney hold party.

I was told 30 minutes about 25 minutes ago.

My coworkers are getting sick of the hold music, I could care less though.

I waited about 5 minutes, but I keyed in an existing reservation number so that may have helped.

Availability was limited, but that's understandable for Marathon Weekend.

I waited 20 min., but still no available room discounts for POFQ

I hope I can get it then. We already booked the Pop but want to apply the discount.

My wait time is 'more than 15 minutes'.

I waited the full 30 minutes, I did key in my res# also. I got through!! I paid a bit more ($27 per night) than I really wanted only because they didn't have standard available (only courtyard at WL), but POFQ didn't have anything available. But HOLY MOLY, I am only paying $200 a night at WL with a CY view!!!!

I also got it for my parents reservation and my own for Pop Century. We had to switch to preferred rooms though to get it. It wasn't available for standard rooms.

Overall saved about 134$ between the two reservations. The lady was very helpful in finding the discount when I said I was looking for the discount that was Visa and opened to the public today.

I was disappointed in the lack of standard rooms as well, and opted not to spring for a view at WL on top of premium weekend pricing. I couldn't justify the cost for just myself; otherwise I would have loved to stay there!

Oh well, more money to play with for other things.

Congrats on the awesome savings!

Thanks! I think it would have been more without the preferred (which we really don't need or want) but it's cheaper in the end so I guess we'll take it. I'm amazed at how fast things are going. If we weren't travelling with my parents for the first part of our split stay, I might have entertained going to AKL.

I'm already thinking I have FD at POR for the second half with a 2-queen room and the savings I got equals half the cost of the upgrade to king...

I was disappointed as well, however, this one time, I am justifying the price to myself because it is our anniversary weekend, staying for 2 nights only, and we plan on spending our time at WL more than the parks. Otherwise I would have gone with POR for much less.

Oooh, that's going to be so special!

 

[janabananas]

Thank you OP for posting this, otherwise I would not have known to even look for the special rates, let alone finding out that special rates were being released!!
