Update on Costco Deluxe AP + $50 gift card

[DisneySuiteFreak]

Yes, I would have ended up using the GC for extra, so it wouldn't have saved me money. I would have spent the 269 for each AP, then spent "regular" money for regular stuff, then gone crazy with 3 $50 GCs.

So I preferred to spend $30 less out of pocket, rather than have the GCs.

But the main issue was that I couldn't get to a so cal Costco, and they weren't online when we needed them.

Do they allow GC use for anything in the park like food, drinks, and souvenirs? I imagine they probably don't accept them at the stand alone food kiosk thingies, right? I agree though, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's still $269 out of pocket and what if I don't use the GC all up? Then I'm losing money.

And it turns out, any discount we got on the APs is likely gone for hubby and son, as hubby's lanyard pouch was ripped off right before the loop on Screamin', and they didn't find the pouch (with their APs in it) that night when they walked the track, so we'll likely have to pay the $20 each to replace those anyway, next time we go back.

Then again, it's better than spending 269 and having to pay $40 more! At least they are still 10 dollars "up" each, LOL.

Oh that's a bummer about losing the APs!

WOOHOO!!!! just bought our APs online today from Costco!!!! DH actually encouraged me to buy them, imagine that!

I'm so excited...and I'll be even more excited when I have the actual voucher in hand...and even MORE excited when we redeem it for the $50 gift card!

Oh, FYI, Shipping was $12.51 for shipping 2 passes. Oh well..$87 savings isn't too shabby!
