WOW!!!!!!!!! First of all I have NEVER used the fan club rate, therefore I have NO experience with it period. Nor did I ever say that I did. I simply was refering the op to a post from someone who is obviously VERY much more familiar with it than YOU!! I would assume, that you are either a fan club member OR you have a card......... niether of which the op states they are or have! Frankly, I'm glad for you that you have had such success using the card....... however, since they are no longer issuing cards and possibly requiring proof that your company be a member........ then I stand by my advice to the op.
You clearly don't understand the concept of these boards, and what MOST of us here do........ which is to give the best advice to people who ask for it, and yes should it apply, give them our experiences as well. Which by the way............. DO VARY on almost everyone's part. EXCEPT for your's of course!
Once you re-read this, I know you'll agree how ridiculous what you wrote sounds!
But your experiences may possible, somehow, somewhere, and in a someway I never thought of ---- vary----, although I doubt it.
You unfortunetly have assumed I was "attacking" you in some way........ and I wasn't! Only pointing out that perhaps, and clearly it is so........ there is information that you don't know about, and just trying to pass it along, without someone, i.e. (YOU) getting offended.......... which you did!!!
Your post makes it sound as though the op can just go get a card, or number or whatever and viola........ that's that........... which is NOT the case. If you had read my post you'd have realized that. I'm not challenging your "experience"........... or you. I don't need too, my information is accurate. PERIOD and everyone on these boards is only trying to give accurate info to those who ask for it. In fact, after re-reading these post........ you seem to imply the message from me.......... with info from Tinkerbarb is not correct......... well I assure you, once you do your homework on the subject you'll see that it is. Not to be argumentative or anything!!! OH, yeah, your complimentary gift........... WOW, now there is just one more example of people's experiences varying................. hummmmmmmm what a concept!!!! amazing!!
ALSO............... on the link you supply it clearly states the following if you actually read it................
"Fan Club membership is available through your Human Resources Department or Employee Services. Individuals are not eligible to enroll. Fan Club membership links are only available through your employer, not to individuals". Participation in the Fan Club program is subject to any terms and conditions that Universal Orlando or the Fan Club department may adopt or change periodically.
All membership benefits are subject to change without notice. Fan Club cannot be combined with any other offers.
Forfeiture of company participation in Fan Club or rewards or reward invitations sent to Fan Club company contacts may occur if contact or company gives false or misrepresented information to the Fan Club or Universal Orlando. Forfeiture may also occur if contact or company does not follow program rules."
SO---- the op's employer would have to be a fan club member for them to get the discount, as the program has gone paperless........ meaning that after the end of this year........ (Dec. 04) no cards will be accepted!!!!!!!!!! She states her trip is in July '05............. therefore, again.................. I stand by my advice!!!
