Thank you for all this wonderful information. I read this whole thread and forgive my ignorance but how do you get this SuperSAver rate? and what is the "Regional Gift" about? I'm a Gold Loews member and want to make reservations soon so I want to know what to ask when I call to make my reservations. TIA!!

The regional gift is a small assortment...as horseshowmom above stated: "We got a bag, a sarong, several packages of candy, a jar of nuts, a can of tropical trail mix, a disposable camera, a necklace (one got a bracelet), a shell with the RPH logo etched on it, and a bottle of juice. Oh yeah, and a travel mug" ....Not many here get it, so you can ask the reservationist when you call to make your res....

As far as the SuperSaver rate....that is usually on the Loews or Universal site.... You can ask (when you call for your res) IF it's available...if not, try AAA or another rate.... Good luck!

i believe the super saver rate for 2007 was posted for the entire year in mid july.

they had some super saver dates out earlier then listed the rest of the year in the summer.


always ask about SS rates when you call to make a ressie.
and, ask which discount is the best for your travel times there.
they will tell you what they have for the public and what will give you the best deals

think this needs a bump....lots of peeps planning summer trips

Just make sure you book directly through Loews in order to be assured of the perks.

Email from Loews customer service:

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, reservations booked through Universal are considered third party bookings and are non-qualifying under the LoewsFirst Terms and Conditions (http://www.loewsfirst.com/loewsfirst_terms.asp). Group, negotiated, third party, government, Universal PassHolder and Florida residents’ rates do not qualify for LoewsFirst benefits.

To guarantee your next stay is qualifying, please book directly through Loews Hotels either by visiting loewshotels.com, by emailing this inbox with your reservations request, or by calling 1.800.LOEWS.11, our reservations line reserved exclusively for LoewsFirst members.

This is absolutely true. I tried booking thru AAA but the agent told me that I was getting a better deal by booking directly thru Loews (which I already had done ). For better savings you can try calling every once in a while to see if the SuperSavers are available but I'm not sure whether they qualify to give your perks. Someone else that has used them might chime in?? HTH

I changed from AAA to supersaves for our dates and I asked if supersaver was a qualifying rate that still entitled us to the perks. . . I was told yes, it does. Since I tend not to place too much faith in what "they" tell me, I called HRH front desk and asked them the same question. . . an emphatic yes, the rate qualifies you for the perks and even put a note to make certain to send the welcome gift. Again this past weekend when I called to reserve a cabana, I asked once more and was told yes, it qualifies. I also asked if all Loews First members had free access to the fitness room and was told yes. I had previously read somewhere that only those staying club level or above had free access. . . but the very nice (and likely buff) young man I spoke to in the fitness center said any Loews members has free access.

Hey there, I know that there are always questions regarding where to call to make sure LF benefits apply.

I have never had a problem calling the # on the first page of this primer and scoring my LF benefits. I also have never had a problem calling 888-464-3551. Both of those #s will allow you to get your upgrade. If you get your upgrade, the rest of your LF benefits should apply.

Thank you WWessing and AlexandNessa for your replies, this makes it even better!! Anyone had any luck getting a Supersaver for this August?

i used the super saver rate for HRH last october.
it qualified for the LF amenities.

if you ever have an issue, ask to speak to the supervisor on duty at that time.

LoewsFirst may have changed the criteria yet again. I called the above 800 number to make my June 08 reservations at Royal Pacific. I was transferred to the "Orlando" line, and was greeted with "Welcome to Universal Orlando Resorts."

Same here....called Loew's toll free number and had to be transferred to Universal line. But the phone rep assured me I'd get the Loew's First perks. In fact, she listed all of them without my asking; I just told her to please note my Loew's card number on the ressie and she started telling me what we'd be entitled to recieve.

Did it get a good upgrade? I have gold card status from previous RPR visits
(3 visits only --all at RPR)


We were on the AAA website and saw the rates for Christmas week. DH went to AAA website and saw that he couldn't get Hard Rock dates --the link didn't work.

So, DH wound up calling a number on the AAA site and was transferred somewhere. When DH was transferred they found his Loews first number. We got our dates and all was said and done. We were told it would be a poolview upgrade. The kids were excited.

Five minutes after DH hung up, DH received a phone call. The caller said that we were upgraded to Deluxe Queen with the pull out couch. We are a family of four.

Is this a good upgrade? Did we do well?

Yes. You got the correct upgrade but to get it for Christmas week is a nice score.

Here is a test for you LF specialists......

My family is traveling with my sister's family Memorial Day Week. We have 5 people in each party. When I called 1-888-273-1311, I got a very helpful reservationist. I was told that I was a gold member - not sure how I got gold, but I'll take it. My sister is blue. I booked a standard two queen room and was upgraded to a deluxe with a sleeper sofa. My sister could not get the upgrade so she is in a standard garden view. I have a couple of questions.

Can I book both rooms under my name so that she can get the upgrade or is it one room upgrade per account?

If not, can we get adjoining rooms? Do they even have deluxe and standard adjoining rooms?

What giant act of kindness from God and how much more money would get us the parlor with two adjoining queen rooms?

Also, do I need my Loews card since I am on file? I asked the lady on the phone and she said no but I have no idea where it is and I would need to request a new copy.

Finally, am I entitled to and should I have asked for Loews loves kids and welcome gifts or should I ask upon check in?

Thanks!
Tammie

I tried Lowes first cause I am a LF member and was told for my dates in July that a standard room at RPR was $ 244.00 a night and when I went to AAA site it was $207.40 a night so I reserved thru AAA and only bad thing is I won't get my LF benifits
