Thanks, NJBILL. Is the hot tub inside the health club for men and women together or are there separate ones? DH and I want to hot-tub together!

Not sure. That was the answer I was given when I asked..Maybe someone else has the answer.

I just got back from the Poly 2 weeks ago and I was pretty bummed that I didn't get a bounceback offer (nothing in the room). But I'm holding out hope because someone on this thread mentioned that they got theirs 3 weeks after they returned. So I was wondering, when did you get your bounceback offer?

The whirpool tubs are within the lounge/locker rooms of the GF Spa (also a small steam room and a small sauna.) They are separate. There is one in the Ladies' Lounge and (I assume) one in the Men's...

That is interesting -- we only had the little watch-shaped advertisement for the bounceback in our rooms (at both resorts) -- we didn't get anything after we returned.

The bounceback was in our room! Just a flyer after talking with cm you can call fd and ask If they are offering a deal

I have never heard of a Bounceback that could be booked AFTER departure. Normally, Bouncebacks MUST be booked and the depoist paid while you're still a resort guest. The poster must have received a pin code in the mail, not a Bounceback. It's easy to get all these savings names mixed-up.

Hello! My brother and I are inside our 10 days prior to arrival at the Poly. We're searching high and low looking for a link or url to get us to the online check-in. Does anyone have this?

Do they give bounce back offers to everyone? We stayed at the YC several years ago and never got one. We staying at Poly this year (in Oct) and my wife and I were just talking about these offers. We booked through AAA both times. Could that be the reason why we did not get one.

I think they are left in the room by mousekeeping, in between guests. If you don't get one and other people are getting them, I would either check with the resort or call the bounceback# to try to get the code. You would have to do this before you checked out, of course.

There was a bounce back offer sheet in my families room this past December at the Contemporary, however we didn't take advantage of it because of the days it was being offered for August 2009 did not work out for us. I am not sure how they decide who gets one, although this August my family and I are booked for the 4/3 deal and in December we got the AAA rate, so I guess we will have to wait and see if we get another one.

We booked our last package at WL through AAA, and we got a bounceback offer...the clock-shaped ad on the table in the room. I'm sure it has nothing to do with AAA. Bouncebacks are offered periodically, not all the time, to fill rooms when expected occupancy is low (like now). If you don't get one, ask. It could be a mistake of the mousekeeper, as the PP said.

I am so excited - I have been debating over which longhouse to request and it has been making me nuts - well, I finally convinced DH that we should try concierge at the Poly - so that settles the longhouse issue. This is our first concierge stay. We are not telling the kids - they will be so stunned.

Should I make any specific room requests - we would like a 3rd floor - but anything other than that??

Second floor rooms in the Hawaii bldg do not have a balcony...if that is important to you
