Hi, trying to decide on which tickets to purchase for our May UOR trip and I have a few questions.
If I buy a UCT Buy 2 days get 2 days free promo ticket, can it be upgraded to a Seasonal AP? If so, do I get credit for the full 4 day ticket price or just what I paid to UCT? In other words, am I keeping the $83 in savings/ticket if I purchase from UCT first and then upgrade at the park, or should I just go ahead and buy the Seasonal AP directly from Universal? In the past I've bought from UCT and then upgraded, but I can't remember if they were B2G2 free tickets or not. Also, if I upgrade to the Seasonal AP, would we still get the 3 months additional for free?
If we go a different route and and purchased from the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal using points, can those tickets be upgraded to an AP? I would assume the same upgrade process would apply if buying from UCT as the UR portal, but wanted to verify.
And lastly, if we were to purchase a 3 park ticket and use it to go to Volcano Bay, would we be locked into a 3 park AP if we upgraded, or could we choose to upgrade to a 2 park AP? We've never been to VB and would like to try it sometime, and the UCT 3 park ticket is only like $26 more per person, but the AP is $107 more so not sure that's worth it. VB also has a lot more blackout dates than the other 2 parks so we have to consider that.
Just as an FYI - we usually go to Disney/UO every summer, and for UO we buy tickets and then upgrade them to Seasonal AP's, and use those the following year to save money. We've saved a lot doing it this way instead of buying brand new tickets each year. It will be interesting to see what happens with Epic Universe next year, although I'm guessing we'll have to buy a separate ticket for that. Anyways thank you so much for any assistance!
