Loews Card ?

[macraven]

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.

when you call, tell them you would like the welcome gift for both rooms.
that there are 4 kids and 2 adults in your party that will split the rooms up.

if they say each adult needs their own loews first card, then you have your answer on that question solved.

yes, call the hotel direct so they have it in their computer.
also make sure they have the loews number.


first time i used the loews membership i only had the number and not the card. i waited until a week or so before i applied for it online.

the hotel only needs the number to verify your membership



very important that you get the name of the person that gives you the information.
in case you check in and they have the info wrong on your file, give them the name of the employee and the hotel will probably honor it.

if you have 2 rooms, you need 2 different Loews First cards.... You can't get welcome gift for 2 rooms w/ 1 card. I had called hotel directly and asked (helping someone else awhile ago)....

Staying at the RPH 6/18 - 6/23. I made reservations thru Expedia before I found this site. I got my Loews Card anyways. Looks like I don't get any special treatment but I wondered if they would be willing to do something special because we are there celebrating our daughter's 14th birthday. Any suggestions?

you can order a birthday cake for your daughter.

i believe you have to give maybe a 2 or 3 day notice for it.

lot to guests like to do the cake for special occassions.


depending on the number in your party, can help you decide what size of cake to order.

I registered some time back but never recv's an actualy card...do they send them out? We leave in about 5 weeks. Also, if I registered with Lowes after I booked with AAA...how do I let them know we are a Lowes member?

 

[lrauers]

Yes, you should receive a card from Loews with your member number on it. It doesn't make any difference to AAA that you are a Loews First member. But, in the future , if you book through Loews, you tell them you're a AAA member to get a discount. When you check in at the hotel be sure to tell them you're Loews First so they can start logging your stays which will accumulate and get you perks down the road.

no problem.

call loews and ask them to give you your membership number.

that is all you need when you check in to the hotel.
the number.
many do not have their cards as they applied right prior to their trip.


i did that in the beginning.

made the hotel ressie.
called loews and left within 5 days for my trip.

my card was at home waiting for me when i returned from my trip.


give your number to the check in tm and they can confirm it.

We currently have "gold" status with Lowes. In order to get to the next level of "platinum" do all of our qualifying stays have to be within the year or are we just able to accumulate our stays over misc. visits until we are able to get the the next level?

Am I making sense?

I see on this thread where some people who booked with AAA are getting Lowes perks. We booked thru AAA for 3 nights in June. I called Hard Rock to add my Lowes# to our ressie and they told me that even though we booked thru AAA, that AAA booked it with Universal Vacations and we are not able to get the lowes perks...I thought Universal was Universal??? Anyone understand this better than I do. I don't want something we are not entitled to but I don't want to depend on one ressie clerks theory either. Thanks!

You have to book the AAA RATE.... You aren't eligible for benefits because you booked through AAA .... See the difference?? YOU have to book the AAA rate, not have AAA book it FOR you AAA books it thru Universal Vacations...which is 3rd party.

Have AAA cancel your res and YOU call the hotel and book your stay using AAA RATE.

Clear as mud???

also use the loews benefit posting link i listed above.

click on the link for the black out dates.

no welcome gift will be delivered on a black out date.

i have 5 days at hrh in october.
my first day there is an eligible date for the amenity. my other dates are blackout dates.

this happened to me 2 years ago also.
if you do not receive your welcome gift on the eligible date, call star service for it to be delivered before the black out dates happen if your ressie encounters a partial non availability when you are there.

and do what bubba's mom said.
call and rebook.

decisions, decisions huh mac?? amenity OR HHN???

 

[macraven]

decisions, decisions huh mac?? amenity OR HHN???

the thursday oct 9th is not a black out date.
i will ask for my welcome gift on that evening.

black outs for the loews will be friday the 10th and saturday the 11th.

i could do the welcome gift on the 12th or 13th but rather have it when i first check in.


at hrh, the weekends are usually booked solid due to HHN.
looking at the loews black out calendar, looks like all weekends are out

 

[bubba's mom]

i thought you were always supposed to get welcome gift on check IN day

 

[macraven]

NO perks if it is a blackout date.

3 years ago that happened to me and the weekend was blacked out for loews first perks.
so, i had my welcome gift sent on a sunday.


usually it is only october when the blackouts hit the loews hotels for weekends. (friday and saturday)

probably due to HHN weekends and hotels are at full occupancy.
