Wibu to ask for this?

Hello.

Going on holiday and visiting Disneyland Paris. Considering annual passes which mean we can get discounts for other members of the group (all family). Would I be unreasonable to ask for half of the savings they make if we do this? So if the saving is 20% ask them for half of that 20%? They would be doing it anyway just paying more if we didn’t get the annual passes.

Also do I mention this when suggesting it?

Surely it depends if it’s costing you extra to save them money? Are you getting the annual passes anyway, or just considering it to get them a discount? If it’s going to cost you extra money I think it would be reasonable to discuss splitting the savings with them.

I can see where you're coming from OP, it makes sense on a maths level to ask for some of the saving to pay towards to pass they've benefited from, but on a relationship level it feels off.

Like you said, if someone let me use their discount I would offer to pay them back in some way if I could. If you're going away together, people might offer to pay for other stuff for you, meal etc as a thank you. But they might not, and that's their choice, just like it's your choice whether or not to let them benefit from the discount.

If you're bothered by it, you're best option is to offer it to the group as a suggestion and see if people want to contribute up front to get the benefits of the discounts. Could get complicated if some people agree and others don't though.

Sorry was driving. Not staying on site and they aren’t getting annual passes. We are considering annual passes as the benefits would be good for everyone but we would probably make use of them again if we got them. So not purely for them.

I sort of saw it as if I had a buy one get one free voucher for a meal I would expect the cost to be shared not one person pay and the other have the free meal. But can see your points. Thank you for the reality check.

We’ve gone to DLP many tines as a group. Some of those times I’ve had an Annual Pass and have happily allowed others to benefit from the discount. At no point did I consider requesting commission. It’s not what friends do.

Annual Passes are very expensive now. I wouldn’t get one just for the discounts, or unless I was going to make at least 3 trips in 12 months.
