This is all so confusing! How soon is too soon or too late to book for the first week of Feb?? When will we see discounts for those dates (we are not AP holders).
 
If you look at www.mousesavers.com, they have historical data on what discounts they offered when.

We've already booked for our trip Jan 28th-Feb 5th, but we got a good rate because my friend who is travelling with us is a travel agent and was able to secure a good rate for us.
 
I'm starting to get nervous after reading the "code hunt" threads, etc! I would like to wait for a good deal, but right now we are looking at 2 adjoining rooms at the AKL and I'm afriad it will book up. But then again, for 2 rooms there, I need a good deal! Quite a catch 22! Any advice welcome!

We've already booked for next July.....made ressies at rack rate....just got the AAA rate....and will wait and wait (very patiently--yeah right! :rolleyes: ) for a room only code. If you're going no matter what, it's not a bad idea to book early, so you are guaranteed the room in case you can't get a better deal!
 

I'm really sorry that I'm so confused about all this! Last time we stayed off site, so it was NO issue! I'm thinking right now that we will want 2 adjoining rooms for AKL. Are you saying that I need to book it NOW, but if a deal or discount comes available I will be able to apply it to that res? Or is there no penalty to cancel that one and rebook with a discount??

Thanks in advance!

well, you CAN book now. You could wait to make the res, but since you want 2 adjoining rooms, it's probably safer to guarantee it now. :) I made my original res a few months ago...then when I heard that the AAA rates came out last week, I called them back, told them of my res and asked if I could get the AAA rate. Yep, and no problem! You will want to watch really closely for discount codes though...and call right away once you know that they are out. (see today's thread about BAT).
Oh, and thanks to these boards, I knew that AAA rates were out before the CM that helped me did. I asked for them and he said "I don't think they are out yet.....oh wait...I see that they are". ::yes:: If you're worried about booking now, you can always confirm with them that you can apply a code when it comes out.


Good luck!! :)
