Last Minute.Com - Universal Tickets

[Louisa Jane]

I, like many of you are still trying to decide whether to get the 2 park, 7 day ticket offer direct from Universal (they'll probably stop doing it soon and I'll have missed the boat!). Anyway, while I was looking for things to do at half term, I came across www.lastminute.com are doing the same tickets for £48.49 - about the same price?

If the link doesn't work, just search for Universal Florida
I think you can only print out a voucher (which is the same as Universal) , but if anyone does Quidco you can get 4%!

www.quidco.com
If I buy anything online, I always check to see if they are with quidco, then you just click on the link - cashback is usually about 5-10% (Virgin is 1%), the company then pays quidco and quidco pay you as soon as you've amassed over £25, I think. I've got back over £1500 since I've been with them (I don't spend that much ;) !) When I need insurance I always go with them as you get back about £100.

Thanks Louisa :) I have never heard of them...off to register :grin:

Yippee!

About time tickets could be bought in some way thru quidco!!.

If one of the BIGGY ticket companies (eg ATD/TPTD etc) decided to do this, i dont think they would be able to keep up with the orders!!

Great spot, think i'll be doing mine through them now :_)

Do you have any knockbacks or reductions in cashback with them?
I registered a while back, Harrods was say 12% for eg, but they only paid 6%, another said wasn't tracked. Been with rpoints.com for 2 years and they pay every penny and match Quidcos offers(just got £90 cashback from Vodaphone) now had £900 back from rpoints found them outstanding compared to Quidco, just wondered how you found them.

I did register with rpoints, but have never used them - I don't know why?! I've never had a reduction like Harrods, but I have had a few things not track, although I've had them paid later when I've submitted an enquiry. You've made me think now - maybe I should give rpoints a go!

rpoints dont offer the best cashback but if you go into FAQ there is a link to highest cashback promise, never had any turned down they honoured everything I have done. Everytime I buy I check here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-sites-comparison/ then put a HCP claim in. They wont recongnise some companies with poor reputation but they have no problem matching Quidco.
A great feature with rpoints is the forum, people post any offer they see, freebies etc, just had £80 worth of simcards last month, son used on an online game to buy virtual things. They also have a great Voucher section for VIP's, think its after you have earned £25 cashback you can see them.
Sorry sound like I work for them, just really happy getting £900 for nothing, I tell everyone. Nobody seems to understand it really is free money. My hotel for August, I got a 15% discount code for hotelopia and 10% cashback, paid £20.65/night here :grin: http://www.countryinns.com/orlandofl_wdwresort

That's fantastic! - I have my Florida pot and everything that I earn from Quidco (and Ebay) goes in - off the top of my head I have had £130 - DH car insurance, £90 my car insurance, £80 for switching to British Gas, £40 for signing my mum up to BT Broadband, plus my best one is buying buildings and contents cover separately and getting cashback for each one - £250!

Have just registered with quidco - never heard of it before but anything that helps the disney fund is good by me! Just a quick ? with the universal tickets at lm.com do you have to state which day you want to start your admission as we are going for 3 weeks and not sure yet when we want to do universal
thanks celia

[wayneg]

you have to enter a date but can change info here https://www.affiliate.viator.com/booking/changeDates.jsp
I just did a dummy booking and price is not quite as good as advertised now cost £48.49pp

I just ordered one of these myself for a friend on our Easter trip(we have AP's) ordered from Dreams Unlimited travel. It was a toss up between them or direct with Universal, same price at both but you dont give a date thought it was easier than LM.com's procedure.
Works out very similar price at all 3.

Celia,
I don't really know as I haven't bought the tickets yet, but I've just had a look and saw this in a pop up box;
Can I Change My Dates?

We understand that on arrival at your destination your plans might change, and you may prefer to take in this tour or attraction on a different day during your stay.

That's OK!*
Once your Viator booking is confirmed, you'll print a voucher with complete booking details, including the tour operator's local telephone number. You can call them directly with any last-minute questions or date change requests, and they'll look after you, subject to availability of course! Don't forget to mention you hold a confirmed booking, made with Viator.

* Excludes tickets for shows, musicals, theatre and other events that are not for exchange or 100% non-refundable (as per Terms and Conditions on the Product Information page).
