Loews Card ?

[AlexandNessa]

We didn't find out we were Gold until after we booked with the RPR. According to their website, Gold Members (I feel like Austin Powers or something): "Enjoy a free upgrade to a premium room, guaranteed at the time of reservation." Since I didn't know I was Gold, I didn't persue this at the time.

We booked RPR Club, and I'm just wondering if I should bother trying to figure out what an an upgrade to a premium room would be from club level or the best way to inquire about the possibility since the ressie is already made. Any opinions?

TIA!

Go ahead and call back and find out. They can adjust the ressie. It would be a king suite not guaranteed to be on the Club level.

Does this mean a water view room can be upgraded to club level?

Hey Jodie.... good luck getting your "guaranteed upgrade"... I will be checking in next Sunday... and they have already told me in so many words that I am not getting an upgrade. I have had my gold card since the end of Jan or the begining of Feb.... I had it when I made my ressies...but their system still shows me as BLUE I intend on showing them my Gold card at check in...but I doubt by that time they will have anything that they can give me....
(by the way I am keeping all of my dates...I figured I will be in a hole till he gets another job anyway)

Hi Sharon

Hope you have a great trip (glad you kept all your ressies ), and I will keep my fingers crossed for your upgrade! Maybe when you show them your actual gold card at check-in, everything will be cleared up.

We are traveling with another couple this trip, and they also booked club level, so I don't want to risk not being on the club floor with them so I think I'll keep my ressies in tact.

That's a good question, subi. Has anyone ever used their gold card to upgrade from pool view to club at RPR? That seems like a stretch.

momof2inPA,

I called and after I faxed my Gold level Prioirity Club card (Holiday Inn) Elijah put me on hold to determine if they could match it or not. He came back on line and said that they would! I'm now at gold level!

My problem is that when the Loews reservation confirmed my upgraded status the lady told me because I'd booked the E card rate, I wasn't eligible for premium upgrade guarantee but that she would put a request in allowing the RPR to do it if they wanted to.

So, anyone out there, what are my chance of getting the upgrade????

how long does it take to get the loews card through mail??

 

[MommaluvsDis]

It took about 3 weeks to get my card and that was even with me upgrading to Gold status!

I don't know if this will answer your question but I would not think you can upgrade to the higher rooms if you book. For example, I just became a platinum member and I was told you book a standard garden view room and will get a small suite. I then asked what if I book a pool or deluxe can I be upgraded to club or whatever. I was told no there are no upgrades from the better to greatest rooms only from the standard. In my case it was a standard to a Portofino suite) There are no upgrades to club from any rooms. You also can not pay additional because I wanted to reserve a deluxe with the ENT rate and pay the difference to club . They said this is no longer available. Also there are no Ent rates for club AND there may not be for deluxe rooms in 2005.

Does anyone have a phone number to reach Loew's? I applied for my card over a year ago and it's never shown up! We're going in December and I'd like to have it on me.

Thanks.

As a Lowes member we stayed at the Hard Rock last August 2003 and our room was upgraded, and the view was GREAT We had a pool view and could see IOA and US from our room. We did not even have to ask for the upgrade, was just given to us at check in. When we made the reservation, I told them at that time we were a member, so they had it on record. I also picked fruit as a welcome gift and was really surprised by the amount they gave us.

Just booked abay view room 4 nights 14-18/12 at the PBH for our honeymoon at a rate of USD 284 + tax. This includes 2 tickets for the length of our stay giving us access to both parks and city walk. Unfortunately as i only joined the lowes card scheme about 10 mins before call i'm only a blue card holder so will only get free upgrade if available on arrival. I asked about entertainemnt book rates and they said that they were either going in late this year or that they were not going to apply at Universal Hotels at all.

The RPR told me that Loews/NBC Universal was having problems with the negotiations with Entertainment Inc. I hop ethey negotiate fast!

Hi to all... I wanted to ask if you recently applied to the Loews Card as I have just done through the info on the boards. At check in do you get the upgrades that are available. Or do you have to have used the card prior to your check in? Also the ENT discounts that are mentioned on the boards, can they be used with other discounts. I'm looking to book for July at HRH and it looks pretty slim for a discount. Thanks in advance

I wondered about this card and just what it would save us. We will be going to US on Feb 22 and will be staying at the PBH. We made our travel arrangements thru a travel agent. I called the Loew's 800 # and got a card #. The Loew's person told me to call the PBH and give them this number for our welcome gift to be ready at our arrival time. When I called the PBH, they told me that I would have to give this card # when we check in. Does this sound right to anyone out there? I've read alot of negatives on the hotels following thru on this free thing. Such as having to prompt the hotel to provide it. I'd appreciate any feedback.

If you are not booked at discount rates, you should get your Loews welcome gift without any trouble. Just give them your number when you check in and tell them which gift you want. You will also get a daily newspaper and access to the gym at RPR and HRH. I'm not sure PBH has a gym.

 

[Gary & Lisa]

We booked with a travel agent. I should call and ask. I do know that the vacation is thru Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations. I sure hope they do, it would be a nice extra for us. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi all! Back from our trip and we just wanted to let you know that the Loew's card worked for us. There was white wine and nuts in our room when we got there. So it does work for first timer's.
