Got my fan club card yesterday

[cbrlmgr]

Using this link that I got from these boards http://www.familynetwork.com/members/update.php?sid=yEfdKL57
Ordered the universal fan club card (free-not even a shipping charge)! Called HR yesterday and got the rate of $129 for 1 night in August.
Thought about ordering the ent book, but this card was free. Thanks for the great information on these boards. Other benefits of the fan club card are rest, ticket, and merchandise discounts.
Use this link for all the benefits http://198.12.17.76/fanclub/memberorlando.asp

Also got $5 coupon for Seaworld. My family of 4 can go watch some fish for $144 by saving $20 from using the Florida vacation kit from the family network.

Right now the universal web site has double discount on multi-day passes.

Does anyone know of any better deals on tickets? Applied for the discover card but havn't received it yet for the special they have.
Thanks again for all of your help!

Hi cbrlmgr! I just checked on this website and it asks me to register. At that time it comes up with a $49.95 fee. You got yours free. Just wondering how? Would like to get it also if I can. Thanks for any help!

I can't even seem to use the link. I went to the home page but I couldn't find anywhere that had fan club passes. Any help would be appreciated.

bskmom - I typed in starting with www. Hope this helps.

 

[cbrlmgr]

Sorry the links didn't work in the post.

Meagansmom: Not sure about the 49.95 fee, just filled out a form with a user name, password, and email account name that I made up. The next page that asks about personal information I skipped. I believe you are just registering and not becoming a menber.

Now go to theme park discounts near the bottom of the page. That link will get you the sea world coupons plus the fan club card. You don't have to and I repeat do not have to provide any credit card information and there is no shipping or handling fees.
It took about 4 or 5 days to get the fan club card and fish coupons in my mailbox.

Try this link, it may or may not work.

i just ordered my fan club card too. they never asked for any credit card info from myself either. maybe their system has a glitch and is letting people by-pass the credit card info. strange...

 

[Meagansmom]

It worked this time! Thanks!

 

[Meagansmom]

cbrlmgr - is there an expiration date on the card? I probably should have asked this first. Thanks for all of your information.

 

[bskmom]

Well I ordered it too. I hope they do not send a bill in the mail. It said it required no billing information. Thanks for the info.

Glad you got the fan club card ordered. There is not an expiration date on the card. There is also a toll free number for more information about the benefits the card has to offer other than the web site at
www.universalstudios.com/fanclub
The number is 1-888-777-2131.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the great information!

Your welcome.

Did you receive an actual card or was it a coupon for the card? When I placed the order, it says it's a coupon for the FanClub card. Thanks for letting us know about this.

 

[cbrlmgr]

The fan club card is an actual card that you cut out of the brochure that is sent. I'ts paper and about the size of a credit card. I also recieved a fan club card from my work wich is the same thing I got from the family netwrok site. I ordered the one from the family network to see if it was the same thing I already had, and it was.

Any more questions I'll be happy to answer.

I just ordered my card too! The $49.95 membership information came up, but I skipped it from reading this board!

Thank you - I forward this info. to my son who is going in August. I know you've helped him too!

Thanks so much for the info.

Kasha!

 

[cbrlmgr]

Glad to be of help.

Have fun in Orlando!

 

[Barb]

Thank you so much! I see what you mean about the card being part of the brochure. I have a ressie at Hard Rock already. Do you think they will honor the card after the fact?

 

[cbrlmgr]

Glad you finaly got your card. The way I look at the deal is this: You got a valid authentic card through a reputable company and are using it for non-fraudulent purposes. It's like using a code you got off the internet to book a room at a resort in Disney and save $30 a night(all stars $49 Aug 9-11 lol).

The name of the game is making money. The corporations in Florida are there to capitalize on their reputation of the vacation capial of the world and make the most money they can. With every big plan, there is always a loop hole.

If a few smart savy DIS board people like us come up with a few ways to save some bucks; I belive they will say "so what" The other 99 % of the people down there on vacation will spend the $240 a night at the HR and will wait in line to buy their tickets for full price while spending $340 on their compact rental car for the week.

Most people haven't even heard of priceline or hotwire. A few of us use the resources of the internet and seek all the information we can find, to save the most money we can.

We all work hard for our money, and when it's time to splurge, we go for "the best bang for our buck".
We use these boards and the information they contain to give our families and ourselves what we deserve. "THE BEST VACATION EVER".

Thanks for letting me express my opinion!

cbrlmgr

ps anyone know where to get cheap universal tickets?
lol

 

[bskmom]

I got my card today! Thanks for all the info. I also agree with your statements. I spend a lot of time on my vacation. I want to know how to make it the best. If I can save money in my quest then that is a great bonus. Thanks for your help.
