GAT Questions

[usschmidt]

1. Is hotel tax included in the price you see when looking at your vacation summary?
2. Does Hojo charge $20/day for a microwave as GAT states?

TIA!!!! I you all!

I am almost positive that the price GAT quotes you includes tax.

And I have never heard of the HoJo charging extra for microwaves. They only have them in their NQQ1 and NQQ2 rooms currently, though.

Thanks, Danger. This was copied from the "Details" pop-up window from GAT.com ... Other Features: Coffee Maker, Microwave (Fee $20.00 per day payable to hotel at checkout), Refrigerator, Laundry, Outdoor Pool, Wading Pool, In Room Internet Access, Cable TV, Pay Per View, Video Game Room

One other question: what's the current code for GAT? I tried "podcast" but nothing came up.

 

[DangerMouse]

hmmmm, that's odd. Maybe it's because with a GAT reservation, you are only guaranteed a standard room (which doesn't include a micro), and in order to guarantee a micro you would need to be upgraded to a deluxe or premium room? Not sure if that's the case, but it's my best guess at why they would do it that way.

Bummer about the code. I saw in another thread someone mention using "ipod". I thought it was an error, but try it, it might work.

I was checking around and saw another discount code you might try, it's "patrick" . That's the name of the podcast host. It was still showing "podcast" as valid a month ago, though.

 

[usschmidt]

It will accept both Patrick and Podcast, but I don't get any discounts

Sorry I was the dip, that remembered the code incorrectly! (d'oh) not ipod

$20 to rent a microwave??? You can almost buy one for that price!

We booked our upcoming trip with GAT, and I emailed about tax -they said it was included in the price.

Sy/CrazyDuck/BadDuck, what's with all the different user names???

I just tried both the podcast and the patrick codes and they don't say they are not valid, but no $10 off either.

It may have something to do with people trying to get $25 gift certificates with the $10 off code. I talked with GAT earlier this week (I do have a package through them and was able to use the podcast code for that), but seems they had a run of people trying to buy several gift certificates this way and then use them to purchase park hoppers or such. I believe they changed the codes because of this.

Bummer! A few people trying to take advantage ruins it for the rest of us!

I have had Sy- since Dec 2005 and I always thought it was a stupid name and the only reason I kept using it was because I had it sooo long. Well I decided to change it to badduck but after using it a couple times I felt it made me seem too naughty, like someone here just to make trouble so I changed it to crazy and this is what ill use from now on

GAT really needs to be in the list of abbreviations.

If you go to Hydro's abbreviation thread, you can post that suggestion at the bottom, and I am sure he will add it for you.
