FYI: AP teacher discount is back

[DizMe]

This is specifically for CA teachers but last year they were fairly relaxed about that. The cost is $279 ($20 off). http://www.tsaspecialservices.com/entertainment.htm

That is so awesome! How do they confirm that you are a teacher? Do they need a copy of your credential or something?

OMG, I used them in November to buy my AP's and they just asked if you were a teacher or a member of the credit union.

If you buy your tix after noon on a friday, they will ship out until Monday.

Plus they charge a fee for over $500 (I think), because they overnight the tix. Good deal tho!

That's right...if you order more than one (putting you over the $500 limit) you have to pay a shipping fee, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because it gets you next-day delivery and insurance. You can get around it by ordering the tickets separately, but I think I'd want the insurance, esp. if purchasing more than 1!

My sis and BIL also ordered these last Nov. As I recall, they ran out shortly after that and didn't carry them for several months.

You have until Jan 2011 to activate it and a year after activation until it expires.

I'm using my GAD voucher to upgrade to an AP when it's time to renew mine this year, but I'm still glad to know (for my relatives) that the teacher discount ap is back.

Wow! That is good to know! Several years ago, when we bought APs I had looked at that site and all they had was 1 and 2 day parkhoppers. I believe you have to belong to the teachers union because I got there before by going through the union website.
