Hi folks - greets from germany,

do i ned a special ID or anything to use the XML code ?

I`m Platin with 77 nights this year.

Thanks an best wishes to all for the next year.

Regards Tim

If it says so in the rate rules then you do. If it doesn't say so in the rate rules then you don't.

Welcome to FT Tim and greetings from Canada

I have used the XML code many times over the last 2 years with never a request for ID.

Also, many FT members have also reported not having a problem either.

I would not hesitate to use it in the future.

That is, if I.D. required is NOT stated on the bookings page, right? Or have you been able to use the code, without showing an I.D., even though it was stated on the site?

Thanks.

Here is the info regarding the rate, and the link below will have it 'pre-filled' with a check-box labelled 'Leisure Discount'

I have used it even though it states ID required. Any code you enter when making a reservation will result in ID required on the booking page.

I have never been asked for ID. for XML

Just what IS "Leisure Links".

I'm wondering if Premium Pounds can be used in conjunction with this. I know the rule is "no", but does anyone have personal experience?

Please see NYC Girl's post

My question doesnt pretain to Leisure Links itself, But to any code that one can make a res with that they have a right to use.

In my case its not LL but the code I can use allows me to make a res for a Thurs night at a very very cheap rate. The T&Cs on the res states that a Thurs night stay requires a Fri night stay along with it.

I booked and made a res for a Thurs night w/o EVER putting down that I would be staying a Fri night as well, got a confirmation code for my 1 Thurs night stay. Yet the T&Cs state that a Fri night is required , as it does with the LL code.

Should I run into any probs, Im a Plat, or keep it as is and fall back on if a 2 night res had to be made for that rate and code then it should Never have made the booking, or will it be enough that since the Confirmation states a Thurs night requires a Fri night they will be able to up my rate to the reg rate.

Has anyone made ares for a LLfor 1 night and had it honored although it states it had to be 2 nights yet it was confirmed for just 1 night?

It sounds like the hotel made an error when loading the rate into MARSHA, I believe you'd be ok (sometimes hotels purposely open rates during holiday seasons and forget to change the rate rules)

This must be something new. I have used XML several times in the past, and the rate rules have not stated that ID was required.

[QUOTE=PD;6931542]Any code you enter when making a reservation may require you to present ID. I believe the reservations system just defaults that ID message on every reservation. But I have never been asked.

Not "any code." Codes such as S4B and PKG have no ID requirements ever.

so thank u very much - i`m not scary now anymore
