Loews Card ?

[Gary & Lisa]

Hi! We booked thru a travel agent and found out about the Loew's card later. So I called the hotel and told them our number. They took it and made a note of what wine we wanted. We didn't ask for a room upgrade. We had the deluxe room, so I didn't push it. I think that's only if they have an upgrade available. I'd be careful to make sure they don't charge for that. We didn't have any problems with our billing like some others have mentioned thru the forums. When we checked in I reminded them about the Loew's card number and what was promised. There was white wine and nuts in our room when we got there. The rooms are pricey when you stay on grounds like that, so mean business about receiving what is promised. After all, you are a paying customer and they want your return business. Be sure to let your comments at their website after your stay. Sure hope your trip is great! Lisa

We stayed at the RPR last summer using a Fan Club rate, booked by a TA. The woman who checked us in told us we weren't eligible to use our Loew's First card at that rate. What a disappointment!

Should I try again this summer? It looks like some people have been successful at getting percs.

And could someone please explain about transferring points from other programs? We do have Starwood points.

You are entitled to the Loews benefits when using your AAA card as a discount on your reservation. They dont allow at this time any other discount program in conjunction with the Loews program, just AAA. So...yes do it!

 

[Jenny]

thanks for the good news...interesting that they allow AAA - i better do this now while a good thing lasts.

Following is all of the contact info that I have for the hotels. You can also fax the info to the hotel. I had faxed them my room request and it went through just fine. You can probably also call 1-800-BeAStar to have your Loews # added to your reservation. That number is for room reservations at all 3 hotels.

Can my kids use my Loews Card to get into the Gym at the PBH?

Thank you Alliekat

The Loews card costs nothing and there are no hidden fees, not even postage.

PS I were told by a HRH staff member the only part of the HRH the Hard Rock owns is the shop and the memorablilia. Loews owns the rest.

I had already booked my vacation package w/ Royal Pacific through the Universal Website, Lowes was great! They took my name and info, and forwarded it to the Hotel directly to make sure it was there when I checked in. They also confirmed that the card could be used during this trip (I think it is based on the price you pay - if it is a really big money saving package, the rates are too low for the benefits to kick in)

Someone had asked in a post from a while back if you tipped a front desk person say 40-50 bucks while checking in, could they possibly do something for you (room upgrade....etc) I was wondering if this was ever tried and if so, did it work?

I already booked the RPR for August. I didn't know anything about the Loew's card. Is it to late to get this card and apply whatever perks you get for my August vacation? I read about the Loew's card on it's web site but call me stupid but I still don't get it. Can anyone explain it to me (Slowly) . Thanks for any help!!!!

No it isnt to late at all. Go to the site and apply, you will get a # instantly. The card will be mailed (sometimes it takes quite a while to receive it). You can then call the hotel and have your # applied to your reservation. The Loews first program is free. When booking using the card (w/o using a discount program of any kind except AAA) you are entitled to perks. Your stays qualify you to climb to different levels. There is blue, gold and platnium. With each level the benefits increase. They offer every level a welcome gift that you can choose (selections will be shown on website when you fill out form). If you are AA FF you can get points for that. You get a newspaper daily at hotel and use of the gym minus the fee. Late check outs and upgrades dependant upon levela nd availability. When your card comes in the mail you will get a phamplet explaining (better than I can) all of the entitlements.

Bottom line...Go Apply!! LOL

JessicaR,

Thanks for the info. I have another question though. Sorry to be such a pest. When we booked our room in the RPR the deal was get 2 free tickets would the loews card still apply?

I also booked RPR using the "stay & play" deal for September. I got a King Suite upgrade for free (Loews Platinum member). I was also told my stay would be a qualified stay and I would get my welcome amenity.

How does it work to get the free access to the Gym with the LOEWS card at HRH. If you didn't have free access how is it charged anyway?

Also, I can't find my card - can someone tell me what the first LOEWS card looks like? Might help making finding it easier - thanks.

 

[Mortlives]

Bump, because I would also like an answer to the gym question.

Anyone use the facilities? mcefalo? You must be back by now. Hope you had a great trip.

Kungaloosh!
Morticia.

You just show your card to the person at the desk and you get in for free. Normally they would charge it to your room. They have nice cybex equipment and lots of treamills.
