where can you use AAA to save around the parks?

[kitten25]

I have AAA and am still unsure of where it can be used at universal/IOA. Can it be used at counter service restaurants? How about in the gift shops? Want to be sure to get the most benefit out of it as possible. Anyplace else I havn't thought of.
Thanks
Wooohooo only 43 days to go

Most anywhere except carts. Best policy is to always ask; keep the card where you'll always see it when getting out money to remind yourself.

Cheers.

If the carts have a register, then they can give you the discount, but they must take down your number every time.

I think Universal gives AAA members a 10% discount at those places that accept it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

i was at universal for 4 days last week.
i used the AAA for discounts everywhere.

only one place, circus mcgurkus asked to see the card and write down the number.

i would say 1 out of every 7 times i used the aaa discount did the employee ask to see the actual card.

i would order food or buy something in the stores and before it was rang up, i would say i have AAA. most of the times the person never asked to see the card.

i totally and completely love universal..........planning next fall's trip already.
did 14 days in orlando and it wasn't enough.

We were there a couple of weeks ago and got our AAA discount basically everywhere with the exception of Tchop Chop & Emerils. You don't get the discount at either of those.

New regesiter systems require us to take the number down.

The system is a whole process that must be done, loading the new system in to every register and there is only about 5 people who do it so it will take some time.

and the discount pretty much everywhere except on children's books in the Suess area. An extra 10% savings was nice!
