While at the Beach Club checking in the man next to us was going through the same thing. He was going to go to the park and get his AP. So the CM told him that they would place his room reservation at full price and when he gets his AP to stop by the front desk and they would adjust it to the discount rate that he booked it under. I'm not sure what he had expected, but he was in shock and didn't say anything at first. The CM was as nice as she could be. I had never heard them do this policy before, but then again, we always have an AP since I renew in the Fall and hubby renews in the Spring. I guess I could say they never asked me for an AP, but that is because I always take mine out and show it without being asked. I usually hand it to the CM when I give them my picture ID. Since hubby was a CM for a long time, we were ALWAYS asked for the CM ID and did this in the same manner.
