    Wow - Rude agent and another odd policy

    CaptainKidd76, How do you make payments for your reservation online? Our family is going to HRH 12/25-1/2, and each time I want to make a payment a representative from Universal has to email me a link, where I fill out an online form, and then my credit card is charged within 24 hours. TYIA! :)
