No HRH dose not except the you first program since they are no longer owned by LoewsSigned up for this last summer but haven't gotten to use it yet. I don't think the HRH uses/accepts this though (does anyone know if this is correct?). I did sign up for the All Access, so maybe that'll be of some use. It looks like the Youfirst is only for a limited time, so we wouldn't be able to use it in the Fall anyway.
Same with me cause I stayed 7 days last year at RPR and it only qualifed as 1 stay and I do the same thing just look for the best rate and go with it cause I only get to Orlando once a yearjust found that I have been downgraded from platinum to gold, even though we stayed there twice during the year. when I called Loews they told me that there are new rules and you now must have 10 individual stays, not nights. a 5 day stay only counts as 1 qualifying stay.You must now have 5 seperate stays to maintain a gold membership.I will no longer worry if a rate is a qualifying rate anymore and just take the best price I can get because there is no way I am making 5 to 10 trips a year.
