Originally Posted By Hound ONM, if you already know when you want to stay at the Grand, call for the reservations, tell them you have a Premium AP, and what is the rate. If they say that they don't have the rate yet go ahead and make the reservation anyway for the best available rate. That way you nail down the room. Call them back around Sept and ask for the PAP rate and if it is cheaper than what you reserved, ask them to apply it to your reservation and give them your confirmation number. You may have to call a few times. Good luck.
