I called and asked for a quote using the "code" that went along with the Disney Visa offer. I was on hold several times while the reservationist checked the computer. My eligibility, or lack thereof, was verified while I was on the phone. The reservationist confirmed my Disney Visa ownership, but indicated the package was for a target group and that my last four digits of the card didn't qualify. She apologized and seemingly prepared herself to be assaulted--I'm not angry at her--why raise a fuss with the messenger. She did seem genuinely pleased that I accepted her information without arguing.
Anyway--this package doesn't interest me since I am a PAP holder and you MUST purchase the package for ALL four members of your party. We are also staying 9 days and would, therefore, have had to pay full rate on the last two nights anyway. She also told me, and I kind of doubt this, but then again--who knows, that you must book FOUR people on the package. I asked if a family could just book 3 on the package and add a 4th person, e.g., one with a PAP or an AP. No soap, had to be four people. That seems odd to me, but who am I to argue.
I'm not enamored of packages because of the 45 day out cancellation policy. Those AP rates sometimes come a day or two beyond a cancellation period and I definitely wouldn't want to get stuck paying a penalty fee. I was willing to consider this one though, IF we were eligible and IF we could book for 3 and not 4. Guess I'll just keep holding out for the AP rates or other Disney offered discount.
As an aside, I do think the Disney Visa has been worthless--it certainly hasn't lived up to the benefits of the MKC card--and those were pretty limited already!
The four last digits of my credit card just won't work. I've been a member too long.........................
