Question about AAA rates.....

[nasmith]

When you book AAA rates, do you need your AAA number when you call, or can you just show them the card when you check in? I'm considering getting AAA for just this discount (wouldn't use it otherwise)....Thanks!! Jill

We just got back from our trip. When I called to book the AAA discount for the hotel, my card had not arrived yet. We were not asked to show the card at check in (although I did have it with me, just in case!)!!

Yesterday, I called about booking a room at Boardwalk for next summer, and the CM did ask for my AAA #. So I guess now they are asking for the card in advance.

We booked our room at CSR last Saturday with the AAA discount through CRO. We were not asked for the number, but we had the card in hand. The confirmation letter that we received a couple of days ago said that we would have to show the card at check-in. Sometimes they ask and sometimes they don't. Maggie

I think its hit or miss. But more times than not I have been asked for my number.

They did ask me for my membership # when I called the other day. That said, on our last trip they didn't ask for the # or to see the card when we checked in.

I just booked last week through CRO and they didn't ask for my AAA number. But she said I need to show my card when I get to the hotel.

I booked this AM for POR next April. The CM at CRO applied the discount without asking for a number. Luck of the draw I guess.

I just booked AKL for July 2006 without giving my card number (good thing because I don't yet have a AAA membership!)

I got a rate of 15% off rack, and they simply said I need to present my AAA card at check in.

I just change my room only reservation to the AAA/CAA rate and was told I just needed it at check-in.

I just added the AAA discount to our reservations for next April and was asked for the AAA number. I have never been asked to show the card at any hotel, at Disney or anywhere else, at check in time, even though they always say I will.

Can you tell me what rate you got with your AAA card?

 

[clombardi]

If you call AAA, you can charge a new membership and they will give you your number right then. That way, you'd have it if they asked for it when you make your reservation.

I just called and applied the AAA rate to my ressie for next July (room only). The CM did not ask for my AAA number but she did say I'll have to present my AAA card at check-in.

Can I ask what number you all are calling for a room only reservation?

Barb

Call 1-800-828-0228

 

[MickiMouth]

Yep, that's the number I call.

I called the other day to make a AAA reservation and the CM I talked to needed the number. I don't yet have AAA (I plan on getting it right before the trip if I can't snag any other discount) so I said it was in my car and I'd have to call back with it so she booked me at rack rate. I got my sister's AAA number to call back with and the CM that time didn't ask for the number. She didn't even tell me to bring the AAA card at check-in. I'll definitely have a card by then.

I ordered my AAA membership tuesday and got an email with my membership # within minutes. I then booked my AAA package through AAA and when I talked to my rep, she said that I didn't need it when booking (through AAA), but that I would need it at check-in.

Considering some of the changes that have recently been made to the AP rate program, I have a feeling that now they are going to be a little more diligent about checking items such as this.
