I took the plunge (Connections)!

[Mic]

I joined Connections 6 weeks ago, waited 2 weeks, and called the toll-free number to check on my membership. Because I joined online I received a message that I would be notified via e-mail confirmation of my membership. When I did not get the notification, I joined again(thinking the first time did not go through), but did not get a membership # again. When I called, they were able to give me my member #, and cancel the 2nd membership(that I did not know I had!) Used the #, ordered online on Sunday, and received the park hopper, 10 Q&C vouchers, 2 lunch vouchers, and 5 $10 cards for Darden restaurants(Olive Garden,Bahama Breeze, Red Lobster) in 3 different envelopes via UPS the following Thursday. The correct charges showed up on my cc about 2 days later, right down to the $79.95 membership fee. Since I did not cancel my membership, I am going to ask relatives and friends if they would like for me to order things for them(my sister wants to order some movie tickets and $10 cards for restaurants for gifts) in order to get my money's worth out of the membership for this year. I will decide after this year if it is something worth keeping another year.

I just noticed that the 79.95 connections fee is now 139.95.....they must have recently changed it?

Hulabird, you nearly gave me a heart attack, I just checked the price & it's still showing 79.95 through Mypoints... unfortunately I keep running into problems when I try to join online... maybe I'll have to call!

Very interesting! It sounds like it worked out well for some people!

On the Connections page it still lists &79.95. Click the link above. No way would I pay $139.95!
