If successful, the new system could replace printed discount coupons like the ones offered by Air Transat.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, customers who use their credit card to enter the parking lot are out of luck when they depart, since ADM\u2019s automated kiosks won\u2019t recognize their discount coupons. Motorists often don\u2019t find that out until they exit the premises though, since ADM\u2019s web site instructs travelers to pick up the coupon at the Air Transat departure counter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a known deficiency in the automated payment computer system,\u201d an ADM parking official acknowledged to <i>The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The ADM web site touts a several long-term parking affinity rebates\u2014one the best deals being the Air Transat coupon, which saves jet-setters $12 off the regular $69 weekly price. The discounted parking rate costs less\u2014often much less\u2014than most passengers would otherwise have to pay to take a taxi to and from the airport.<\/p>\n<p>According to ADM spokeswoman St\u00e9phanie Lepage, the airport has posted instructions for prospective discount coupon users on its parking lot entry barriers. Since the directives are easy for harried travelers to miss, ADM will refund the money if they make a claim to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>ADM\u2019s on-site parking staff cannot make the refunds on-the-spot, though. Instead, customers have to call the ADM parking authority\u2019s off-site headquarters during business hours.<\/p>\n<p>There, a robotic phone system instructs callers to write a letter requesting a refund, and asks them to send it to ADM by fax or e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal of introducing the online pilot project is to make getting the parking discount easier for our customers,\u201d Air Transat spokeswoman Debbie Cabana told <i>The Suburban. <\/i>\u201cWe\u2019re working closely with our partners at the airport to make it possible to purchase a parking ticket directly on the Air Transat web site when travelers book their reservations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will see how our new pilot project works,\u201d concluded ADM\u2019s Lepage. \u201cCoupons are complicated, so we\u2019re trying to fix the program so that you don\u2019t need to use them any more.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pilot project aims to avoid shortchanging travelers By Robert Frank www.thesuburban.com A\u00e9roports de Montr\u00e9al (ADM) will launch a pilot project later this month to let travelers pay for their long-term parking online when they make their reservations.
