When you got through, were you able to make a reservation? What did they say?


I couldn't make a reservation. I was told to "be patient." I also asked if I were to make a reservation directly through the hotel, would they refund the difference. I was told "no" again. She robotically replied, "please be patient." I also told her this is probably a scam and thousands of others believe the same thing, according to many blogs on the internet. She then said something to the effect, "other hotels do that, we don't." Errggh....yes, now you are one of those hotels.

I actually got through but when I tried to search for dates, I got the standard asp.net runtime error. So even if it works for you, their servers are so messed up it doesn't matter.

LOL. I think I've done that and still, nothing. Time to harass them by phone every day for the next 1928 days.

I'm in Korea...the site was down two hours before the "sale" even started. Looks like a total scam to me.

Lets all set up auto-refresh (every 5 seconds) on their website for the next 1928 days and let them enjoy their own promotion.

Tell you what. You guys can all go back to your normal activities and I will take one for the team and continue refreshing. If I get through, I will let you know.

Please let everyone you know doing this that I will be taking on this responsibility and they do not have to try any longer.

Your welcome.

How will we know you got through? We'd still have to refresh fatwallet to find out...
This promotions deserves a demotion.

When they said a limited number, I didn't realize they meant zero. Forget this, I'm headed to breakfast.
