T-Rex...Has anyone done this?

[cruisingmom1977]

Hi all!! We are getting the DDP for our upcoming trip and I am looking into where we want to eat. We are not on free dining and will be paying for the DDP. (I know many people say the DDP isn't worth it but almost all of our meals are either Buffet or AYCTE so it actually works out in our favor this time). Anyway, of course, I have more meals planned than I will have TS credits for. I know my husband will balk at the idea of paying OOP for meals when we are already on the plan so instead of canceling one, I was wondering if I can do this for T-Rex (or Rainforest)...

1) Join Landry's club for $25.00 and get a $25.00 credit on my bill
2) Since we are going during my birthday month, also use the $25.00 birthday credit.
3) Buy 2 $50.00 Landry's Gift Card Vouchers from Raise.com for $37.00 each

This would give me a total of $150.00 to use at dinner. We are a party of 6 so I am sure our bill will be at least this much. This will lessen the shock of the bill for DH and give me another TS meal.

Does anyone know if I would be able to use all of these in the same transaction?

Thanks for any/all help and insight

Yes, you can do that.

How long of a time period do you have to use the birthday credit thing. My husbands birthday is at the end of October, so if we were to go sometime in November, would that work?

It will be issued on the 1st of October and expire on the 15th of November.

That might work then.

From mousesavers.com:

However, please note: We have had many reports from readers that Rainforest Café will NOT allow you to combine gift cards with any type of discount or promotion, including Landry’s Select Club.

Not sure if this is specific to DLR. Anyone have any experience with this at WDW?

I used gift cards and my welcome discount together without a problem. I've never heard of anyone having this issue at WDW.

FYI, We used a gift card and a Landry's Select $25 off at the DL Rainforest Cafe and didn't have a bit of an issue. We combined them at TRex as well, and no problems.

Should be fine, the best thing is no waiting in line even without a reservation.

Thanks!!

Cruising mom...when are you going? I was actually going to do this too for our November trip and wanted to know if you had any problems.

Bumping this up, hoping for some feedback from the OP or others

We just came back and did all this. They even give you a special appetizer for being a landry's select member. They also told us later landry's select members don't need a reservation. We actually have a gift card left we didn't use that we bought from raise so we are going to use it at Morton's for our anniversary.

So yes, we used out $25 credit for joining, my husband's bday credit and gift cards for the remaining balance.
