Loews Card ?

[AlexandNessa]

Has anyone ever received the perks even though the reservation was made thru a 3rd party?

They usually stick to their guns and deny perks for people who have booked through a 3rd party.

Couple years ago, I booked with AP rate, which doesn't qualify. At the time, I was blue, and had a deluxe room so room upgrade wasn't applicable. I had my LF card out, and front desk clerk mentioned that rate didn't qualify for benefits but was given a free upgrade to club for our 5 night stay. Go figure, couldn't get a free bottle of wine but got an upgrade worth so much more!

No, but I have gotten credit for my stays when booking third party, and APH rate. You should also be able to use the training facility, just show them your Loews card, they won't stop you.

Sorry about the previous post, I wanted to quote another post and quoted yours instead.


I was trying to say, that you would not get the perks but you may get credit, if you ask them to put your Loews number on your reservation.

How many nites are you going? If you're staying 3 or more, SuperSaver might be available for you...or AAA...that rate qualifies. Just call the hotel and book using AAA rate

I already booked the package thru Universal. I don't want to screw up my reservations at this point.

What month did you go in? I hope that happens to me!

 

[calgarygary]

I doubt that the month will have anything to do with it. When it comes to our onsite stays, we have received more than our share of mummy dust.

I booked with US directly,then applied for my LF card. My trip is in 3weeks.I booked the super value with Florida Res. rate.Will it affect my chances for a upgrade?
Just like too know before I get a strange look from recep.(tried to upgrade before and got a lost look from them)

I'm confused Did you book the Supersaver rate or the FL resident rate??

I signed up for the Loews Card, it says 4-6 weeks for delivery. If I haven't recieved the card before we decide to go will that be a problem? Will I need it to check in if I decide to make ressies using our Loews #. ?
Also has anyone ever, for the gift, asked for the beer and nuts? Just wondering what kind of beer they bring, if it's something we don't care for I might go back and change it to the milk and cookies.....

Hi Grumpyfamilyof5! I noticed you're the same person that asked about the military rates...just FYI, if you use military rates, they do not let you use your Loews card for the free goodies. Just thought you might like to know.

i did this the first time i went to stay on site.

i ordered my loews first card 2 weeks before my trip.
when i made my ressie for hrh, i told them i was a blue member in the process in order to get the free upgraded room.


3 days before i was to leave, i called loews and told them i needed the card
they gave me the number for my membership card and told me that is all i am required to have at check in. the tm at check in can verify membership by number.

call loews and ask for you membership number.
write it down in a safe place and take it with you when you go if you do not have the card in your possession by the time you leave.

you can change the welcome gift at check in time.
you can ask the front desk what type of beer.
if they can't answer you, have them call star service to find out.

i changed my welcome gift many years ago.
instead of cookies and milk, i request a special order of cookies and coke.

i don't like milk, i love coke.
i get my cookies and 2 bottles of coke when i call for it then.

if you do not get the welcome gift when you check in, call star service on your phone. it is a direct number, just push one button that lists star service and tell them you want the welcome gift that morning, night, next day, whatever.....

yes, I'm looking into both, whichever has the best rate is what we'll go with. If it means no free goodies, it'll be alright, that's what Walmart is for!!

Got 1 jar of peanuts, 1 jar of cashews and 3 beers. 1 Corona, 1 Bud and 1 Amstel (i think?)...they were assorted... Don't see why you couldn't request all the same brand tho....

I might do that, I'll ask for all budlight, if they can't, they can't, it's ok. DH and DD will love the cashews! Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it.

Hi, Ive been trying to read completely through all of these really helpful stickys but am becoming quite bleary eyed lol.

If I get a second Loews Card for my husband so that I can choose the local gift in one room and he can choose the beer and nuts in his room.....will there be a problem with getting connecting (not adjoining) rooms as we have four kids and would prefer them to be in one room and us in another.....I know with Disney they will guarantee connecting rooms for family but the fact that he is "technically" in one room for the Loews perks and I am in another with my own perks make a difference.

(its late so please excuse the rambling above and I hope it is understandable)

 

[macraven]

at the loews on site hotels, you will have the connecting rooms due to your family size.
let them know when you make the ressie and be sure it is noted on it in advance.


i would suggest you read the loews intro on signing up for the cards.
i have not known both husband and wife getting a separate loews card but, i'm sure it can be done.

you can check with the hotel and ask in advance if you each need the loews card with different membership numbers in order to qualify for the welcome gift for both rooms.


i would do that before i signed up again for a loews card.

and, call loews to see what they say about it if the details you need to know are not on the promo page for loews first hotels membership

Thanks macraven = you always are a help!!

I think I will give them a call tomorrow just to have a note on my reservation as I made the ressies through AAA. I will have them add my Loews # also and then ask about whether my husband should get his own card.

Have a great night.
