On the right http://www.universalorlando.com/ht_extravalue.html under "Hotel Availability"..... then choose hotel you'd like and display the price "low to high"..... Should see "Supersaver" rate pop up

Don't sweat being "blue"....we ALL had to start there

AAA & supersaver are close in price...make sure to check both.

APH prolly won't release for a little while yet....recent history has shown us that this is not usually cheaper.....could be different this time tho

 

[Laurabearz]

Yikes.. Super saver for my time frame is $269 a night for HRH... Hoping to do better than that... AAA is the same

i used supersaver before and found it a lot cheaper than AAA.

last october i had booked with AAA and when the SS came out, i switched over to it.


it will probably drop in price soon.
keep checking back for it.

or call, you might get better info faster in case changes have already occured

I've been a long time lurker of this board and have gotten so many great tips and advice over the years from reading the postings. By far, the most valuable advice is to stay onsite for express pass priveleges and to sign up for Loews First.

Well today, I opened my mailbox and found an envelope from Loews First with my new Platinum card. I thought I'd be Gold forever but I guess I finally qualified for Platinum with my last trip. I can't wait to book another vacation and enjoy a free upgrade to a suite.

Thank you everyone for all your contributions. Thank you to all the people that have asked the questions I would have asked and all the people who have answered them. I would never have understood the benefits of staying onsite or the importance of building loyalty with Loews First if not for this forum.

Much appreciated!

[macraven]

I booked RPR on AAA, but using the link Bubba's Mom posted, it looks like Super Saver is cheaper - Do I just call them up and tell them I want the Lowes Super Saver rate??

Thanks!!

Edit - called & asked for the rate & got it!! YAYYYYY

Thanks!!

This will be our third stay at HRH. We are going on a supersaver rate booked through the website. I have a Loew's card, lowest level, I believe that's blue.

The first time, I asked about the welcome gift and the desk person blew me off and told me my rate (AAA) didn't qualify. I think he was wrong, but at the time I didn't know enough to say so. He also was very snippy about the upgrade possibility (we'd booked a garden room) - didn't tell me any pool rooms weren't available, just told me we didn't qualify. The second time, I was too intimidated to even ask.

This time I'm determined not to be rolled, but I'm also spooked about asking when I've booked at less than rack rate. I do know through this board that others have reported that (1) you can get a welcome gift with a supersaver rate, and (2) you can be upgraded, if a room is available. We are leaving Monday. Can anyone tell me exactly what I should say to the desk staff about this? Any hints would be welcome!

It is unlikely that much will be available on President's Day. However, you just need to be incredibly sweet and ask "if it isn't too much trouble, could you check and see..." You should get the welcome gift. Be persistent and say that the kids are really looking forward to it.

you will enjoy your stay at HRH.......
i have been there quite a few times also.

last year i booked and went with the super saver rate.
it is a qualifying rate and i received my welcome gift and amenities for the loews first membership.

and i did receive a room upgrade but i had requested that at the time i made my ressie.

if the check in clerk does not set up your welcome gift,
you can call star service on the phone in your room and it will be sent up.

or you can ask to speak to one of the front end managers that is on duty when you check in.

same goes for any issues or situations you may encounter.
always ask to speak to a manager on duty.
and don't wait until you get home to solve the issue, do it while you are still staying at the hotel.

you don't have to get demanding for anything.
if you have the loews card, you are entitled to amenities.
when ever i have had an issue, i don't get upset as i know anything can be corrected and fixed. i talk to all the employees there as i would my friends.
and i am always nice to my friends.

Another Newbie here to the Universal threads!!


Hi Mac!!!



We're planning a first trip to Universal after they open up Hogwarts!!
So I'm finding all this info quite helpful!!!

 

[Terriberry]

I recently booked a trip to Universal from the Universal Website. I also joined Loews First and received my card. Will I still be entitled to the perks? I read somewhere that if you booked thru a third party you didn't get the perks.

 

[calgarygary]

Terriberry: it depends upon what you mean by booking through the Universal website. If you booked a pkg through Universal than no, you will not be entitled to LF benefits. If you booked room only then yes it will qualify if it was a regular, seasonal or supersaver rate.

 

[Terriberry]

That doesn't seem fair, if your staying on their property. I was looking forward to my wine and nuts and a free upgrade.

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

 

[Terriberry]

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