Good to know! Which hotel were you in? We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott.We used the fuel rods for the first time on our last trip and I thought it was easy to use and really convenient. My daughter and I could charge up on one rod and it was easy to find kiosks. We had one in our hotel lobby too, I realized at the end of our trip.
Follow them on Facebook, there is almost always a code that makes buying them from the kiosks cheaper than buying from their website.If you buy them from their website they're cheaper. I love mine.
I think the reason they don't answer it is because depending on how old they are they have different capacities, newer ones tend to have higher capacities in my experience. You can often get codes that bring in park costs down to $20 or so if you follow them on Facebook.I've often thought about getting the FuelRod because of the convenience, but ultimately, I end up bringing my Anker portable battery. I asked early on about the capacity of the battery and the answer from Customer Service was very vague (they wouldn't say how big the battery was, which seemed a little odd), but I've also heard that you probably won't be able to fully charge a completely depleted phone at this point, but you would just switch out the rod for a new one and continue charging. I agree, it's a little cheaper to pre-buy it ($25 including shipping online or $30 in the park).

Yeah, the discount codes can be applied at kiosks, but not online anymore.At this point, I agree that would be a good reason. But I asked when they were just starting the service, because I wanted to know if they would be able to fully charge my phone or not. I suppose they could have already had rods of wildly different capacities at that point (enough that they didn't want to state some minimum capacity and not be able to meet it).
I did not know that you could apply the discount codes to the ones in the park. That's good to know.
Same here. We've thought about the Fuel Rods, but really like our Anker portable battery. They really work well and, between the two of us, have enough backup to cover us through an entire day in the parks with MP and photos or a full 8 hours of MHP with lots of photos. Usually one portable battery is enough, but having two brings peace of mind in case DH gets a work call while we're in the parks.I've often thought about getting the FuelRod because of the convenience, but ultimately, I end up bringing my Anker portable battery...
