HRH ~ super savings rate is out through October

[disneyfreakk]

You can access this discount through lowes website. I only checked for the HRH, but I would imagine that the other hotels have it too.

FYI for Lowes plat ~ was told you have to book the discounted *garden room* to qualify for the king suite upgrade.

Pardon my ignorance but what's a 'super saver rate' & who qualifies ?

Hmppph, I see that they don't have any King Suites left online for my dates in Oct. Even if they did have some that they don't show online, I'd only be saving $7.10/night over the AAA rate. I'm currently holding at $242.10/night for my King Suite.

Tracey, the super saver rate is available to anyone as long as you are staying at least 4 nights. Plug in your dates here:

and see if the rate comes up. Let me know if the link doesn't work for you.

Thank you.

My military rate is still cheaper (even if I was staying 4 nights )

Is the discount coming up for a garden room for your dates? Since you already have your plat upgrade to a king suite at the AAA discount, ( this is what I have too. ) all you have to do is call reservations and have them change your *RATE*, your resservation number will not change. It does not matter if a king suite is showing avail or not, you already have yours booked.

 

[AlexandNessa]

No, sadly, no GV rooms. Only pool view rooms. We are staying for 8 nights (6th - 14th), and I even tried splitting my stay up. No such luck.

 

[disneyfreakk]

lol, we must have the same luck Jodie. They pulled a fast one on us this year because the ss rate isnt posted on the universal site. I wouldn't have even seen this if I hadn't looked on the Lowes website today. I am usually all over those rates when they are released, lol. Oh well, there is always next year!

Ugh, I took your advice and mac's, and I dealt with the most unhelpful reservationist. She insisted it was the opposite ... that there were no King Suites or GV rooms left, and she had to cancel those and rebook and I could lose my room if she did that. I told her that mac just had a supervisor change the rate, but she would not help me. She said that she would have to rebook and I'd get a new confirmation #. Hmphh. I hung up and tried to call back, but wouldn't you know I got the same reservationist? I guess I'll try my luck later and hope for someone more helpful. $242.10 v. $215 does add up over 8 days!

I got 198 for pool view (HRH) and 242 for club using the super saver rate.....is it a Loews qualified stay ?

 

[AlexandNessa]

Hi Tracey, I believe it's supposed to be, but I have been dealing with obstinate people at Loews Orlando this morning, so i'm going to wait to try again this afternoon.

Here's what (further) happened to me ... for our November stay, I changed my AAA rate ($191.20) to a Super Saver rate ($179). Not long after I made the ressie, I got a call telling me to ring special services at Loews Orlando reservations. I did, and I got a tude that if I still wanted my King Suite, the upgradeable rate was $191.20, and they needed to adjust my rate higher.

I am hoping I have better luck this afternoon.

 

[disneyfreakk]

Jodie, did you call lowes or the hotel? I would try calling the lowes reservation line. You should not have to change your resservation unless your dates are changing. I have been switching my rates, and sometimes even dates around for years. I have never had the problems you guys are having, I just dont get it.

If you cant get anywhere with the lowes resservationist, try calling the hotel and asking to speak to the guest service manager.


Yes, the super savers rate is a published public rate. It does qualify for the lowes first program.

That's what we do here - we aims to please!!!

 

[sjcaulfield]

Thanks for the tip.

I just updated my reservation online (which I didn't know you could do - thanks for that) and saved $150 on the AAA rate for a Club King room for 7 nights.

I didn't think the prices would go below the AAA rate so I've got a big smile on my face now

Thanks,
Stephen.

Oh, I have to try this! I have the AAA rate of $242 for 3 nights 10/27-10/30. First I read you need a 4 night stay to get the rate, but then I read sjcaulfield is only staying 3?

 

[AlexandNessa]

That was me who reported that. That's what it used to be, but I guess not anymore.

I see a rate of $229 for GV with the super saver for your dates. Do you have a King Suite already booked (I think you're plat, right)? King Suites are not showing available online. This is where I ran into a huge circle jerk today trying to get my rate changed without giving up my King Suite. Lots of time wasted with no rate change. If you are successful, please let me know as I dealt with 3 separate people who were all NO help today.


ETA: Now, I know why I thought it was a 4 night minimum ... if you add an extra night onto your stay, the GV rate goes from $229/night to $215 per night.

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

I went on the Loews website and could not book. I called Loews and they said I had to book the Orlando properties through Universal. Much to my surprise they were in at 12:10 AM. Yup, GV for $229, but was told no King Suites available. I said I have a King Suite, so if she booked me a GV, then my King Suite should still be available for my to be upgraded to with my Plat. She could not do that so I asked if her supervisor could. The supervisor will be in at 9AM so it was suggested that I give a call back then.

I will let you know if I am successful. If not, I will keep my King Suite as this is the first time I have been upgraded at HRH and I don't want to miss my chance for the King Suite. My savings woud only be around $45 so I am happy to save that amount, but also happy to spend it if it means keeping the KS.

 

[sjcaulfield]

We're staying for 7 nights, not 3.

Thanks,
Stephen.

 

[macraven]

jodie, you should be able to swing this rate change.
i'm still trying to help you.


i called and switched to the SS rate.
rate now $209 a night.
am platinum and had booked the GV w/ free upgrade to king suite back in february for the october stay. i did not have any problems in UO changing the original rate of $269 to 209 night.

super saver is a qualifying stay for the loews first program.
and, you have to book 4 nights in a row.

 

[AlexandNessa]

Thanks, mac. I suppose I'll make phone call #7 this morning and try yet again. Also, LF customer service still has not responded to an email I wrote them on Friday regarding this situation. Not that I expect them to over a weekend, but I do hope they at least acknowledge their inconsistency.
