Told No AP Rates Available Yet

I thought I'd give it a try - currently have reservations at the Swan for a junior suite but after reading about lack of magic, the fact I want to save a few more dollars, and my sister not joining us until later in the week, I started to re-think this plan. With the AP rates now available for my dates, thought I'd call and try for a moderate. 2 different CMs said no, no AP rates yet - try back in a few days. In fact, the last one told me I couldn't get an AP rate until my second stay - that I needed to have the AP in hand when I checked in and the first stay all I would have would be a certificate. new one to me - has anybody else heard this one? Also, spent over 1 hour with this CM as she fumbled with the computer system. She sounded quite old and inexperienced, I gave her some slack as I suspect she's filling in for the holidays and trying to make a few dollars to supplement her Social Security.

Anyway, I booked a AAA discount for Carribean Beach, total of 961.00 with tax, 6 days, 4/10 - 4/16. 450.00 savings over what I had with the Swan. And I'll call back tomorrow to see if I can convert to AP.

AP codes are not available till 1/2/04. I tried to, she said call in a.m. I have always been told AP is required at check, either valid AP or a voucher. Other people say they check in without being asked.

I've never heard that you have to wait until until the 2nd stay to book AP rates. Doesn't sound right AT ALL. I've had an AP 3-4 different times and have always booked rooms immediately. Good luck!
