BoddaH1994 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Use this thread to let us all know when you progress from 1 to 4 stars in the Fun Perks program. I actually made it to level 2 today, and got some new perks including a free funnel cake, or one front of the line pass on Diamondback, a free souvenir cup or another drink wrist band.

TombRaiderFTW Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 How many times did you have to visit and/or how much did you have to purchase in order to get to level 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'm not sure what the exact metrics are. I had 6 visits to the park and more or less ate one time at each visit. In this thread, hopefully we can decode how it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilometers Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I visited 3 days last weekend, bought 2 gluten free pizzas (need to be better advertised/organized...not at any of the LaRosa's...only at that Yeungling Brewery Stand in Festhaus), as well as a normal pizza in Festhaus I believe...and perhaps something else. Not sure. Anyway, I still have One Star, but I can redeem 2 rewards, and have 7 to choose from: free cotton candy, free popcorn, free ride on Thunder Alley, 15% off total food voucher, one free game play, 50% off a Fast Lane Pass, or a $9.99 Bring-A-Friend Ticket. Not too bad in my opinion, but still not sure how they calculate it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I went once and have nothing offered. Hopefully I'll have something if I go on Wednesday and buy something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I would get the suv. cup, its the gift that keeps on giving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Question if you redeem an award do you lose all your other offers and start over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 ^That's what i was wondering. It would help if they actually explained these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I had the unlimited 21 oz. soft drinks for one day wristband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I've actually been twice, but it didn't count my visit from opening day, so here's where I'm at: Total visits: 1 Level: One Star Rewards available: two Free Drink Wristband certificates I spent about $12.98 at the park when I was there on Wednesday (one burrito and a $5 Sling Shot certificate) I'll check again after my next visit (probably this Wednesday, depending on the weather) and see if it gives me any additional rewards. I would assume the Sling Shot ticket counts towards Fun Perks rewards, as the ride op asked me if I had Fun Perks before he scanned my pass.

Joncars05 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Been 3 times (Card only says twice), Spent $20 on food and haven't received an offer yet. I would love an explanation of this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Just been once and Im still level one. Those are some pretty good prizes for just buying food if you ask me! I will definitely use this system a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Do the employees remember to ask now? Or do you have to give them the Gold pass yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsIsland1972 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 After all these years, we decided before we left the house that we were going to try the Back Yard BBQ. Good Choice....BUT, the girl told us when we bought our tickets at the picnic gate that the FUN PERKS are good everywhere else but the BYBBQ. I paid with credit card x4 and asked for our receipt because I felt she was wrong but still smiled. After our Beast at Night Ride, we went to GUEST SERVICES where the nice gentleman said no, no, no, no, no. You should have gotten a swipe but it has to be done at the POP (Point of Purchase) and they (GC) can't add that on to our account at GUEST SERVICES level. But...he continued, if we'd fill out a Guest Complaint about it, he'd forward it on to Upper MGNT along with a copy of our Gold Pass Number and receipt. So, I will update how they resolved this, if they do and just to say that this isn't the first time we've been denied a swipe for our card within the park. I'm tired of having to explain the program to park employees. I think they need to re-inform employees on this and also ask at the POP for your gold card as that will also help make guests feel important for having one or if they don't, you have an opportunity to make a presentation to purchase one.

Dalefan Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Can you buy the drink wristband without the perks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsIsland1972 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Can you buy the drink wristband without the perks? A: YES! I bought one today and it's Perfect!! Like, I rode the Flight Deck, and when we got into Coney Mall, I stopped at Skyline and got a drink. I then rode FOF, came out and then went to the Diner and got another one. I think I had 6 drinks today. I love this option!!! I never went thirsty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kblanken Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yay, I earned a choice of cotton candy, hot popcorn, or car ride. I've been one time since they started counting, and purchased things three times. Only at the ice cream shop did an extra paper print out with a receipt. Another time, I'm not sure if they scanned it right, they scanned it after the sale was completed. Maybe I'll get credited for whatever the next person bought?

Roarbot Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Today Panda Express in the Festhaus said they don't scan them. Did get a scan at tower drinks, and she said I was the first person who asked for it. That was at 4:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Panda express don't count cause it's not ran by the park, and I think Chick fil a don't count either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm interested in helping figure out how the perks work. I just got my pass today, and was thinking about going tomorrow and buying several of the cheapest things they have there to see if it is like the Starbucks reward system; Where number of purchases are tallied instead of dollar amounts. What are some of the cheapest things there, including souvenir shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side of Skyline cheese is $1.05, there might be cheap candy at Coney Confections, and Convenience Corner might also have some cheaper stuff.

What are some of the cheapest things there, including souvenir shops? Lots of fairly low priced stuff at the shops, such as the 80's souvenir shop. The small cotton candy wasn't expensive, and I believe there is candy by the pound as well (so buy a piece or two). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
