Called in didn’t have a long wait, had fun and sun existing room reservation for Pop. CM couldn’t apply the AP discount to existing std room, only available was preferred room which was more than my current reservation. It seems stupid that they can’t just give me the discount on the room I already have.
Yes, was trying for an AP rate that straddles the two time periods in April at BCV for a 1br. All they had was a BCV studio, or a 1br at BWV. I think the discount for BWV was 15%. Stuck with my 10% sun and fun at BCV.AP discounts for Deluxes are 15-25%. CM said they are just about sold out at resorts through April 2018. No advantage here.
Yikes. BB offer was worlds better than the AP rates then.Yes, was trying for an AP rate that straddles the two time periods in April at BCV for a 1br. All they had was a BCV studio, or a 1br at BWV. I think the discount for BWV was 15%. Stuck with my 10% sun and fun at BCV.

That Visa offer that was out for late last year/early this year was a first of it's kind. It's not something they do regularly. I hope they do it again. It was a great promoAny idea when VISA offer comes out
If you are depending on what shows up on the website as Available you may be misled.There's not much available for my dates either - disappointing!
This happened for our dates as well at the cabins at Ft Wilderness. I’d say search within specific resorts if you’re looking for something specific!If you are depending on what shows up on the website as Available you may be misled.
I'm checking for our April dates, we have a Bounceback booked at BWI now.
The AP rate at BWI is about the same but, I was checking over other resorts to see what rates where. One thing I hate about booking on the phone is I can't see each different resort and click back and forth and compare.
So I was looking and the page that shows all resorts shows that POR is unavailable for my dates. However, I clicked on it anyway. Well, sure enough, it is available and it's available at the AP discounted rate. No idea why it's not showing on the list when you click All Resorts, this happens a lot I've found. I never assume that is correct any more, I always click on each resort and check the page that shows all the rooms for each resort individually. At least half the time I find rooms that don't show up on the All Resorts list. If you can follow what I'm talking about. It's rather hard to explain

The Bounceback rate at BWI is about $20/night less than the AP rate, close to the same but, I was checking over other resorts to see what rates are. One thing I hate about booking on the phone is I can't see each different resort and click back and forth and compare.

Yeah I have a lagoon view at the Poly and the AP rate only available for Theme park view.
I agree they should give u the AP rate for the room you have instead of making you switch.
Having a room already booked has never guaranteed you could later apply a discount to that room. Disney does not offer discounts to save guests money or reward pass holders. They offer them to fill rooms. If certain resorts or room categories are already booked at rack rate or with other promotions, they likely won't be included in future discount offers. More & more it is the most expensive room categories being discounted because the less expensive rooms are already booked. That's why many people here advise against booking a room hoping for a discount later. It probably works against us all. Disney will have less incentive to offer discounts if rooms are already booked.
Now if there are lots of rooms available in the category you have booked, that category will probably be included in the discount offer. And you could then apply the discount to your reservation.
