Loew's You First

[JackieLand]

I just signed up last week but I booked my room using the super saver discount about a month ago. There was a place on the Loew's website to add existing reservations. Should I do this? Will it mess anything up on my current reservations?

Well I just tried putting in my reservation confirmation info on the Loews website and it wouldn't pull it up. So I guess it is too late.

call the hotel and have them add it along with your preference of welcome gift.

I have a follow-up question about You First: Is there a limit on how many rooms you can apply an upgrade to? I'm at Gold status so I get an upgrade from garden to water view at the RPR. I booked my room a couple months ago and applied the upgrade at that time. If I add a room for my sister and her husband for the same trip, will I be able to upgrade their room also?

FYI: You only get a welcome gift if you are gold or platinum now. The new program is not anywhere as good as the old one. If the OP just signed up they would only be Member status and wouldn't get any bonus perks yet. Unlike the old program, you have to have completed 2-4 stays to get Blue status. If you were a member of the old program prior to last July, you get to keep your old status until the end of 2009, even if you didn't have any stays since then. I got to keep my Blue status but, alas, no welcome gift for me this time. I do get free internet, free upgrade if available, free use of the fitness room and late checkout. The only ones of those I would even use are the upgrade and possibly the internet.

Thanks, I called reservations and added my Loew's you first member number. I don't think I get a free gift like the newspaper. We'll see at checkin.

You can only upgrade 1 room

Thank you! I suspected that but wanted verification. There's already 4 of us going (me, DW, mom and dad) in October and we're trying to talk my sister and her husband into going, requiring us to get 2 rooms. My wife and I both have APs so we might switch to the AP rate for both rooms if there's an AP rate drop.

What about the suite at PBH with the extra room as well, not sure about prices.

I heard people mention the PBH suites before, but i wasn't sure if the 5 person limit applied to them too. I could probably call and verify if that limit applies to multi-room suites. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well that's what we did! It costed a pretty penny at $530 a night; but for 3 couples, it comes out to about $180 per couple which isn't bad.
