I tried to purchase an annual pass on line, on Universal's website, but could not. I chose the flex pay option but it would not go thru. The website would not me pick a delivery method. So I called universal and asked them if I could take care of this over the phone and the response was no. They said because there was a contract involved and this could only be taken care of on line or in person prior to entering the park. The person I talked to said this was because they have returned to the plastic annual passes and you have to pick them up at customer service.

Any comments?

Yes, pick up in the park is the only method for delivery now for annual passes.
 
UNIVERSAL FLEXIBLE PAYMENT OPTIONS

What is FlexPay SM ?
FlexPay is Universal Orlando’s Flexible Payment Option. This program allows you to purchase Annual Passes with one initial down payment and spread the remainder of your total over 11 months. (Online processing fees do not apply to Annual Passes purchased using the FlexPay program.)

Can I order my Universal Orlando® Annual Pass using FlexPay online? If so, what is the process?
Yes, you can order your Universal Orlando® Annual Pass using FlexPay through our online store. To order online follow these easy steps:

1. Choose how many passes you would like to purchase. (limit 6)
2. Select any add-ons you would like to add to your cart. (optional)
3. Register Passholder information for each pass.
4. Select your desired delivery method.
5. Agree to the terms and conditions in your FlexPay contract.
6. Order with the credit card you want used for monthly payments.

When does my year start? When will I be charged?
Your annual pass will begin with the date of first use not the date of purchase.

After you enter into your FlexPay contract, your credit card will be charged approximately the same day every month. For example, if the first payment is taken on the 10th of the month, all subsequent payments will be charged approximately on 10th of the month. Your renewal payment will be charged on your normal monthly bill date.

What do I do if the credit card I use for FlexPay is lost or stolen, or I want to change the credit card used for payment? Or what do I do if the credit card I use for FlexPay is going to expire? Or I have received a notice in the mail that my passes are temporarily blocked.
Call us at 1-888-5-FLEXPAY and we can update your account with your new credit card information or to take a payment. You may also visit Guest Services at the park and update your credit card information in person.

Can I change the credit card information for only one pass on my contract?
No all passes on the same contract must be billed to the same credit card.

Can I change or postpone my bill date?
No, unfortunately payments can not be postponed. The bill date for your contract can not be changed.

Are there any finance charges for participation in the FlexPay program?
Universal Orlando does not charge any finance charges, and the price of the Annual Pass is the same if you purchase it outright or participate in Universal's FlexPay program.

What happens at the end of my 12 month term?
Flexible Payment Annual Passes automatically renew at the end of the 12 month billing period. After the initial 12 month term, monthly payments are subject to change because you won’t be charged a down payment when you renew. Pricing is subject to change.

In order to cancel the automatic renewal at the completion of your first year, you must submit written notification 30 days prior to the end of your contract. If you do not, we will continue your membership by charging the card you provided on a month to month basis. After your first year, you can cancel your annual pass at any point with written notification 30 days prior to your next monthly billing cycle.

Please contact the Annual Pass Department with any questions about renewal or cancellation.

What are the current prices?
The current monthly renewal prices* (including tax) for Florida Residents on the FlexPay program are: $20.86 for Power, $27.51 for Preferred, and $39.50 for Premier. The monthly renewal prices (including tax) for non-Florida Residents on the FlexPay program are: $30.62 for Preferred and $43.93 for Premier. The full cost of each pass is spread out over 12 even payments which are billed monthly.

*Prices listed are subject to change. Current taxes are $1.28 sales tax per month for Power, $1.68 sales tax per month for Preferred, and $2.42 sales tax per month for Premier.

Where can I view my contract?
You were provided a copy of your contract upon activation. While each contract is unique to the Annual Passholder, an example contract can be viewed here.

Can I cancel my FlexPay account before my one year membership ends?
No. The 12-month initial term of membership cannot be canceled. Member actions that result in cancellation prior to completion of initial membership agreement will require payment in full of each annual pass purchased.

What if I want to remove someone from my FlexPay Account? Can I transfer an annual pass to another person?
You will not be able to remove individuals from your account until your initial term of membership has been completed. Annual Passes are non-transferable.

Please contact the Annual Pass Department at 1-888-5-FLEXPAY or email FlexiblePayment@universalorlando.com should you have any additional questions.


suggest you call flexpay to help with your question.
from what i have read, you need to pick up your ap at the park since you are involved in a contract.
if you decide to go off the flex pay, you would have to pay out the contract at that time.
 
I just bought 4 Preferred AP's online and used FlexPay on July 20th with no problem at all.
 

Are you picking them up at the park?

Yes damo, my order says to bring my confirmation page to any of the front gate ticket windows located at the parks entrances.

Okay, so that confirms that the OP's problem is not an internet issue but the fact that flexpay APs must be picked up at the park.

damo, it didn't even give a pickup option, it'd only let us pick them up at the parks entrance.

That's what the OP was saying. She thought it was a glitch in the website that it wasn't giving her any pickup options.
