A postcard arrived at our home yesterday with our correct address but with the name of a total stranger. When I called to see how the PIN rate at AKL would compare with the
AAA rate we have locked in for early December, the CM told me -- after being on hold A LONG time -- that I couldn't use the card because it didn't have my name. I cajoled, I appealed, I told him, truthfully, that this is the FIRST time I've ever gotten a PIN. No deal, unless my name is Julie, which it ain't.
Well, as I learned here a long time ago: If you don't like the answer, call, call again! Only took one other call -- today. I spoke with a lovely CM who worked it out for us to use the card and PIN! It gives us a Savannah view room for $220 a night before taxes ($245 after taxes), which is about $20 a night off the AAA rate we had and the same rate as Florida residents receive, I believe. (The card is the one that offered Values for $84, pretax, from 10/23 through 11/23, and $64, pretax, from 11/27 through 12/25.)
The rate certainly isn't the great one we received for our trip four years ago, but it beats rack.
Good luck to all who are still waiting. I didn't think my Prince, er, my PIN would ever come... But there's hope...
