I saw that initially when I had posted the code and didn't mention it because there seems to be some worry about it on another board. It does say "alumni and friends" though so we can be the "friends" Chat Icon



Why wouldn't you just let us know there may be a problem with the code when you posted?
I really wish I would've known BEFORE I booked that there could be a potential problem with this code. I would never have booked. I have read on two sites that people are being told they will need to show Edgewood Alumni ID to check in and get these rates and that the rate is not available for friends.

Website 1 (I think this is the forum you're referring to in your post)

I also checked Edgewood College website and they DO have an alumni card: Edgewood

I'm most likely going to call and cancel because I don't want to take the chance of going there and being charged full price for the room or forfeiting all the money I already paid. Next time, I'm going to google any codes.



Because there isn't a problem with it. It says "FRIENDS" on the flyer. If you don't feel comfortable, cancel. They can't charge you more than what your confirmation says and you wouldn't be "forfeiting" your money.

Yes, next time google your own codes.

unfortuanately, i heard this too about the ID and they said if you don't present it at checkin your rates get bumped up.. i booked with the spring break code for 199 a night.



Being that it says friends and family there really is no way you could "prove" you are a friend of someone that goes or went to college there. The college gets $8 back for each night, so it appears that it's encouraged for them to share the code with friends. They can't just "bump" your rate up because there is nothing in the terms and conditions on the booking page that says you must have a college ID upon check in. Honestly I think it's a bunch of nay sayers that are just raining on people's parade on the other board(s).

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

OK I just called and spoke with a reservationist.. she said that originally was intended for Alumni only, but because it was misprinted they have to honor it.
SO, my advice print out the form... but it shouldn't be a problem

At first, the girl told me that you had to be an alumni of Edgewood. Then she put she put me on hold and said that she found a note in her computer telling them to honor the Edge code for whoever calls in to tell them they used the code and are not an alumni. She also put a note in my file and said I won't have a problem now that it's been noted in my file that I called.

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

I called them and they said that it's only one room per alumni. I even directed the person to the site to show her it said family and friends and she saw it and basically said "I don't know what to tell you, we were told it's alumni only" but I could call back tomorrow and speak to the revenue manager.... Chat Icon Which I will....I don't think the person I spoke to is the powers that be so I will call tomorrow and make a fuss if need be since I know they are honoring it with others here. I do not want to go and pay $429 a night so I want to 100% be sure that it is fine beforehand. My DH would not be happy paying $429 but my kids would not be happy walking in and then leaving so I need assurance here. At least if I get a name and a convo to reference, if they give me sh%t when I get there, I can pull that out.

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

For all that have booked just check if the water park is included only because my bil called the one in Virginia last night and they said it was for the alumni and it did NOT cover the water park that is was an additional $30 per person to play. But then again they also told my bil he would have to show id as well. So it sounds like everyone who's booking should call to speak to someone and get a name so there are no hidden costs and just make sure the water park is included.

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

I spoke to someone at the resi center in the past 2 hours. Their policy in the last few days has gone from not allowing non alumni to allowing the friends. It says it on the "ad" so they will be honoring it. It also clearly says when making the reservation that the water park is included in the cost for the room. I had the woman add something to my resi so I would have no issues when checking in.

Let me tell you, someone is either getting fired or seriously repremanded for this oopsChat Icon

The waterpark is included in all ressies.. you can't make a ressie without waterpark admission... but they will charge $30 for each person over the base occupancy in each room (in the family suite its 4 people)

I wasn't asked anything since I booked it online.

I printed out a copy of the advertisement that states friends and family and a copy of my confirmation that doesn't specify you need an alumni ID or an ID that shows you are a friend. If there is an issue at check in, which I doubt there will be, I'll just present both.

I hate to burst any bubbles or throw cold water on your fun, but the GWL is cracking down on the EDGE rate ($99 weekdays $139 week ends). YOU MUST PRESENT I.D. AT CK IN. If you did not graduate from Edgewood college your rate will be increased to the current days rate (could be as much as $400+ depending on what the rate is that day). It used to be for Alumni and friends and family...it has been changed to JUST alumni. I couldn't go, but a friend of mine got stuck for $300 at arrival.
Buyer should indeed beware. If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is!

Well...we're going on Sunday! Hope to not run into any trouble. But I did hear that as long as you have a copy of the original ad, they would honor the rate. I sure hope so! Chat Icon

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

I used it too and they never even asked about it. Val - you should call the PA # directly and ask them to send you a new email. I had accidentally deleted mine and wanted to print it prior to going so I had it in hand. The email that came from them said "Guaranteed Confirmation" right on the top. No way can they just up your rate while you are standing in front of them. Plus those words Guaranteed Confirmation seal the deal. My Mother is a travel agent for over 25 years and she wholeheartedly agreed that they would have to honor the price. Like I said, they never even asked me (Believe me, I was ready to argue my point) but do that for extra peace of mind. It's fine, GWL has had ample opportunity to make sure it is very clear that you need proof of being an Edgewood alumnus. If they haven't disallowed the code completely by now, they are still honoring it.

Re: Great Wolf Lodge Promo Code!

I just looked at their website and the EDGE code isn't coming up anymore so they aren't allowing new ressies, but they do have to honor old ones
HAVE FUN! My kids had a FABULOUS time!!
