Checked National Car Rental again today and the price dropped another $15, so cancel and rebook-o-matic.
Also booked the Sunshine Flyer back to the Swan from the rental drop off at MCO, which coincidentally, is $15 with the current summer discount so I am calling that FREE, BABY.
I did find some NYS National car rental corporate codes - one from a state university (of which I am not a part of) had a regular code that is supposed to be used for either business or employee leisure rentals that got me the same exact discount my Amex Plat status does.
That code is for when employees use their own card. There was another code for when you used a company credit card - and that price was HALF of the rate I have now. But, really not feeling trying that out and finding some sort of snafu comes up or if it even would let me try to use a personal card, anyway.
Think I’ll just keep checking National - if they keep lowering the price, I’ll keep rebooking!
My Facebook memories told me 10 years ago today we arrived at POR Orleans for our first family trip. It was a 2nd attempt after the previous year’s trip had been postponed due to my DW’s BC diagnosis. (10 years cancer free!)
And that’s $1.74 in 2015 dollars, so really worth about $1.
It is a unique card with construction Mickey on it, so I kept it around for fun, when we used it in park all the CMs got excited because they’ve never seen it before!
This has been a bummer on our trip this week. We have an e-card that we’ve been trying to transfer to our one physical card. When I called for help transferring, they would only do it if I could tell them the purchase location and original amount on the physical card, which we’ve had for several years so I have no clue! I mean, I’m trying to put money ON the card, not take from. Such a pain. Hopefully they’ll get it sorted out soon but I don’t have high hopes based on how long it’s been an issue now.
That is CRAZY. I have about 15 smaller $ cards to combine, there is no way I know which one was bought where and I bought most of them in the last year.
Maybe a work around for you would be to buy a $25 card somewhere then move onto that?
I haven’t tried calling in yet to transfer, was hoping they’d just fix it.
Last time was probably about a month ago. Last week I could log in with my email and password, but the site would never send me the code like it was supposed to so I couldn’t actually get to my account to see my stored cards. I contacted support, and their answer was my profile didn’t exist. Last Monday, I tried again (same profile/email as before), and I finally got the email code like I was supposed to. Maybe the transfer will spontaneously start working again for you too.
My first transfer yesterday morning from an old ecard already on the site to a new $25 physical card I just uploaded worked. After that no variation of cards worked.
I have only tried online so far, but I’m hoping a CM on the phone might work based on their asking you for that card info?
I’m just back from buying a boatload of GCs at various stores I had discounts for, so once I get my ducks in a row I’m planning to try calling. Will report back!
Bad news: They asked me the original balance and where it was purchased for EVERY card, not just the one you were transferring to.
I was lucky because most of my cards came in through shopDisney, but I have other random cards mixed in. I told the CM I’ve been buying these cards for over a year from multiple places - she said I can can guess multiple stores and she’ll keep trying the card to see if one works.
So, I suppose if you can try typical stores you’ve shopped at. Was a pain though.
CM also did not seem to understand the site was broken - she asked me if I tried multiple times and I explained it has a message right at the top of the page and I’ve been trying to transfer all weekend hoping they fixed it.
So, sending good vibes into the universe they fix it soon, I do not want to read out the GC numbers for 25 different $50 GCs to a rep that couldn’t hear me.
Last Monday, I tried again (same profile/email as before), and I finally got the email code like I was supposed to. Maybe the transfer will spontaneously start working again for you too.
