UPDATE: Please Help ASAP! Simple Escapes and Connections

[jmunguia]

I need to know would be best. Simple Escapes or Connections? I heard they are ran by the same co., What does Simple Escapes do compared to Connections. I am new so alot of these programs are new to me. I understand that I can join connections for $1 for 30 days and order vouchers and visit mousesavers to find out where to eat and find the great deals. I don't know what Simple Escapes are and I am a mypoints member and just got an email for extra points!!! I need to know asap what I should join, I am going to Orlando August 7th, NOT MUCH TIME TO ORDER!! Another question, can I use these vouchers at Islands of Adventure? Please respond for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance...

its basically the same thing, except it costs more to join after the 30 days is up. I ordered a bunch of hard rock cardsand a Q&C voucher and I had them both in less than a week! the vocuhers came by UPS and I had to sign for it and the hard rock ones came by snail mail. Hope this helps you out!

I'd join up with Connections through the Mypoints website... you might find you like the program & no way would it be worth paying the Simple Escapes price of 140 a year versus the Connections price of 79.95 (which is still high but doable)....

We signed up with Connections last year with the 1.00 trial, this year we're keeping it as I like the other 20% discounts it offers on book stores, restaurants & kids stores... as well as the Disney Q&C vouchers!

I went ahead and joined Simple Escapes, (I had a mypoints email for 200 points and $25 kmart gc.) For my sister and I, I ordered 3 Q & C and 2 ??29.50. Now what we need to know is where do we go to get the most out of our vouchers? We wanted to go to Mexico San Angel Inn, has anyone used the vouchers there? Please give us feedback on where to use both kinds of vouchers. Thanks so much. I'm so glad I heard about these boards.

Beaches and Cream offers a lot of food for the Q&C voucherand servers will help you max it at this eatery!

I joined connectiions throught www.27bucks on Saturday,
Monday I ordered Q & C Vouchers, hopefully I will received them
by the end of the week. I think I read somewhere that they
come by UPS if you spend over 50.00. We are leaving on
August 8, so I spent over 50.00 just to be sure. When joining
I received points from 27 bucks, a compact disc player and
a 25 gift card. Hopefully, I will received all my free things, I
guess time will tell. Good Luck.

Check out the menus on wdwig.com. Don't forget to add the 6% sales tax and the tip. ( which are included when you use the vouchers)
