Help with Hotwire Savings Club/Connections

[amcnj]

Hi. Is there a website to sign up for Hotwire Savings Club? I've looked at Hotwire.com and don't see that listed anywhere. Also, does this program include restaurant gift cards for Olive Garden? As for Connections, what terms are tehy offering for joining, mainly what is the yearly fee?

Thanks for any help!

I just signed up for the Hotwire Savings Club. I found the info page by reading the first thread (Everything you wanted to know about meal vouchers), third entry down (it's by elfbo). Near the bottom is a link to the Hotwire Savings Club. And yes, they do have certificates for Olive Garden. You pay $10 and $2 is put back on your credit card. Also have them for Bennigan's, Planet Hollywood, Red Lobster, TGIFridays, Chuckee Cheeses, and a few others.

Go to Hotwire's website. Upper right-hand corner is CUSTOMER CARE, click it. Left-hand side, go down to the last choice under customer care, HOTWIRE SAVINGS CLUB. That will get you there.

You can order 15 of each gift card per year- 15 of Olive Garden, 15 of Target, ect.

The fee is $8 per month.

I think you might be able to get bonus points or $$ if you sign up through a reward program. Someone else mentioned that, but I could not find one when I signed up.

There is a link to the club on the Hotwire site(think it is the left hand side)

HELP!I just signed up for Hotwiresavingsclub.com but where do you purchase vouchers for Disney? I was looking for the meal vouchers but I didn't find them on the site after I signed up. GOSH-now I will have to call them-just what I didn't want to do!

Look under 'Theme Parks'. Click on Walt Disney World. " Walt Disney World Meals" is near the bottom.

Thanks for your help-Kevenswife2
Has anyone used these vouchers at Cinderella's or at the Crystal Palace for breakfast through Hotwiresavingsclub.com? We have a party of 6 adults and 1 child. It looks to be a great deal since the tax and gratuity are included-RIGHT?

 

[amcnj]

I used vouchers at Cinderella's Royal Table and had a snag in that they charged a deposit to my credit card upon booking the reservation. At the meal I gave the waitress the vouchers and told her that they had charged a deposit and she said it would be reversed. The meal was in late August and I have been trying to get the charge credited for over a month. My advice is to get a charge reversal right then and there before you leave the restaurant. Otherwise the certificates were great and included everything. The gratuity is figured at 15% so then it is up to you if you also wish to tip an additional amount. Good luck!

I've also used connections vouchers, but just wanted to let everyone know that floridaorlandotickets.com is now selling the meal vouchers!! Connections has had so many negative comments that I would be afraid to try it again. So, I'm going with this other site!

But aren't they more expensive? I figured $5.75 MORE. And then there's shipping & handling. Maybe I'm wrong or confused, it seems like it would be more of a bargain to just pay cash for the meal than go through FL.O.tickets.

The vouchers may be more, but they have free pick up too. And, they have the character breakfast vouchers which include tax & tip, for less than I would normally pay. We may even order our tickets through them, as they are pretty competitive with ticketmania. FOT always gives you a free phone card with each order! You just have to weigh all of your options.

just got my "i'm a chicken so I will only order a couple q/c" order from hotwire today ( ordered last Sun or Monday can't remember exactly) so will now take the $190 plunge for the rest from hotwire. no problems so far. haven't gotten my $10 rebate yet but that said 2-3 weeks and I mailed that later.

that's what I thought too from comparing the menu. I would never get my money's worth since some Q/c I'll only save $1-2 with the 11.25 from hotwire. plus don't really under stand why they are so much more. I can understand the shipping and handleing but the vouchers at FLOT cost a lot more to begin with.
