Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

[trompettecon]

I booked two rooms with my AP pass last year at Royal Pacific. It was no problem. They actually gave me a key to both rooms and everyone else was assigned to a particular room.

HTH!

So... What's the trick with getting an AP rate? Whenever I check I get an AP rate for certain dates. As soon as I search and come back, the AP rate is gone. Is it better to phone? I'm looking at coming for 4 nights beginning of January during the week and would love to snag a suite at RP. Any thoughts? Ty!

Book as soon as you see one that will work.

Gah. You can upgrade any tickets exception promotional ones. Universal is happy to take your money and keep you coming back!

So I wouldn’t be able to upgrade a buy 2 days get 2 days free ticket?

You can upgrade those. They give you the value of the promotional ticket at the time sold. What it sounds like is that you can't upgrade it online/via phone but have to do it in person.

At least that's what I read the other threads on the topic (about upgrading tickets) about.

Yes, sorry. I meant the complimentary tickets such as tickets given by customer service or by timeshare presentations, employees, etc. Those cannot be upgraded. They say PROMO on them.

And my wish was granted this morning. Was able to change to APH rate and saved another $400!

How much did the deluxe queen end up being? I just booked those for May and it stung a little lol

It's a 5 night stay, $282.75 per night. Down from the "Be a Savvy Traveler" rate of $348.

I guess I missed our dates or they were never there. I can find 2 nights of our 6 night trip at the APH rate, but I'd have to cancel my whole 6 night Savvy Traveler reservation. The 2 nights of savings aren't worth what I'd have to pay for the other 4 nights. Bummer. My ST rate isn't terrible though.

You could book the 2 nights at the AP rate now and just keep checking to see whether the other nights are added. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way AP rates are released.

What are the dates you’re trying to get? May be worth grabbing the 2 nights at AP rates and checking back to see if the other nights are released closer to your trip? (would require extra deposit to hold, that’s one thing to consider).

Ha, sorry, crossed reply.

AP rates were available for my 11/7 to 11/9 dates!

Mine too! Finally! Course, when I went to click modify, it wouldn't let me... so I had to cancel the existing reservation and then book a new one...

Finally got a APH rate for my Nov 1-6 RPR stay. Had to switch from a king to two queens but we sleep on a queen at home so no worries there.

 

[Phatscott25]

Keep checking because your King will likely open up before your trip.

I was able to grab my nights at HRH for Thanksgiving weekend... upgraded to garden view from standard and saved money!
Now I am waiting to see if any come out for the week AFTER Christmas!

 

[karalecia26]

I was able to get RP for $244 a night for December 24-26! Any longer time, the AP wasn't there anymore, but I will take it! We will probably book the rest of the week at CBBR. So excited that we got at least 2 busy days (and weekend even) for that price!

I need the end of the week! I already have a DVC reservation at AKV for Christmas and was hoping to add on two nights at the end of our stay at Universal! Now, I wish I would have booked it the other way around! Oh well.. I just need to wait and see if any come out for the 30th and 31st. If not... I have learned for next time.

Remember to keep checking back - I ended up with three reservations for my upcoming stay - just booked pieces as they became available - ended up with RPR for 189 (+Tax) in September

That is an amazing price! I don't think it has been that low for ages.
