National Dropped again

[ParkFreak]

Just checked the National website again and saved another 14 bucks on our 8 days in September. This makes 6 reservations since April, going from 216.29 down to 149.16! It pays to keep checking!

we just saved an additional $16 dollars (that'll just about pay for the gas we'll use for the week!).

 

[ParkFreak]

No problem folks, my 10% comission will help pay for our Keys to the Kingdom Tour! Just Kidding!!!

I hope the price decline will be there for a while! Good luck y'all!

Thanks!! I save another $25!!

 

[Barbruka]

Are you all rebooking a new ressie, or are they automaticlly reducing the one you have already? Thanks all!

 

[ParkFreak]

You have to book a new ressie and cancel any old ones without penalty.

 

[MinnieMe2]

Are these prices before or after taxes and fees? You all are making me feel bad because the best I could do was $163, tax and fees included, EA for eight days. I keep checking, but things aren't dropping for the last week in July.

 

[Barbruka]

Thanks to this thread, I just rebooked, and saved about $40!!! I also figured out how to get three discounts instead of two. Went from $211 for nine days in September to $172! You guys are so great for keeping us updated!!! Do you think prices will come down more?

 

[lady400]

THREE discounts? Okay, Barbruka, can you clue us 2 discount folks in?

 

[ParkFreak]

Yes Barb, do tell! I only know how to get 1 contract and 1 coupon #.

 

[Barbruka]

On Mousesavers, it is explained fully. Basicly, you enter the Disney contract code where it has the EA contract code. Delete the one there already. (They will automaticly give you the EA code discount.) And then enter your coupon code above that one like usual. Wala! You have three discounts, the EA contract discount, the Disney Club contract code discount, and one of several coupons. (Disney one weekend day free coupon or the free day coupon.) All the details are at Mousesavers under National. I got over $51 in discounts! By the way, you have to call the DC to get the DC contract code. I have not seen that number listed anywhere. You cannot enter that number and the Disney coupon number on the same line. Evidently, coupons and contract codes are two different things. Good luck! The number to call for the DC contract code is on the back of your card.

The DC contract code is shown on the DC members website; as is the DC coupon code number

Oh, I see what you are saying. I had already followed all the instructions on Mousesavers. I just didn't see where you were figuring the 3rd discount.

While the base rate I am being quoted is actually the same with or without EA, that would only be true of an intermediate size car. It quotes the same for the full size when you go through the EA links, but a higher rate without EA. This would make sense, since you can easily pick up full size from the Aisle anyway.

So, I guess in a way, that is a third discount.

 

[Barringer75]

MinnieMe2- My quote on previous post was with all the taxes and fees included. I found the best discount for me was with the DC contract # and DC coupon. I've read others getting good discounts with Entertainment and Costco club.

Actually, National isn't giving three discounts - if you use a coupon code and a DC code, you'll find the same rate whether or not you use the Emerald Club reservation page or the non-EC page. (And the base rate changes if you replace the EC code with the DC code.)

However, you *can* get two discounts plus Emerald Aisle service - still great deal.

 

[Barbruka]

My base rate did not change when I replaced the EA contract code with the DC contract code. And you do get a discount with the EA contract code, DC contract code and the coupon of your choice. I tried it several different ways, and there were three discounts.

It all depends on how you joined the Emerald Club and what your Master Contract provisions are. For instance, my Emerald Club memebership is through my employer. When I rent for business, my rental automatically includes insurance coverages and refueling charges that my company's travel department negotiated.

When I change my EA Contract Code to the Disney Contract Code, I do get a different (lower) base rate. But then I'm not automatically getting insurance coverage (my personal credit card covers that) and, at least until recently when National changed their refuleing policy for Emerald Club members, automatic refueling at a discount.

So, if you joined Emerald club through the Disney Club offer, you probably do not see a change in base rates.

Today I reserved a National full size for our November trip. I tried all the onsite agencies with all the discounts I could locate. National won. One thing though, the site would not accept my Emerald Club #. I've heard that their site has been acting strange lately.
