Bounceback Offer Questions

[GoalieGirl16]

Hi all! As I have babbled about before we are getting married at the Wedding Pavillion in August. Of the 19 people traveling all but my future in-laws have booked their stays. (Long story there, everyone cross your fingers and hope for the best please.) We used the military discount for several of the rooms which is great! There are 3 rooms that we are paying rack rate for at the moment. The plan was waiting for the late summer/fall discount offers to come out and to apply said discounts to outstanding rooms. Which was fine. Until... My parents decided to take in some Cardinals spring training games and visit the World for a few days. As they are staying at Pop they will likely be eligible for the bounceback discount. Which brings us to the bounceback questions.

1. What can Mom and Pop expect to see as a bounceback offer?
2. How many rooms can be booked on a bounceback offer? Are they limited to one or can they book 3 or 4?
3. Can the bounceback offer be applied to existing reservations or is it only for new reservations?
4. If it is only for new reservations can they cancel the existing reservations and rebook with the discount?
5. Last but not least, does the bounceback offer cover all Resorts or are they limited to certain resorts? We are having our guests stay at POFQ and I have noticed that there are certain discounts that do not apply to that resort.

Thank you in advance for any and all input!

1. There may or may not be an offer card in the room. If there isn't one, they should call and inquire. The most recent offer was room savings of up to 35% during select weeks and at select resorts in 2013.
2. You can book only one room (what I was told by cast member).
3. Offer can be applied to an existing reservation, but again, only one reservation and only one room.
4. Yes.
5. The discount is limited by resort. Not all qualify for the full 35%, some (likely POFQ) won't qualify at all. The resorts/discount percentage aren't listed anywhere so you just have to give your info to the cast member and they will give you a final price. They won't give you the non-discounted price for comparison,so be armed with this info before calling. You have to do your own math to see if you are getting a deal.
