I won a hotel last week and only "logged in" into my account after the $1 hotel had been selected...

thanks i am sticking w/staying signed in. i dont want surprises as to having a video reloop when i sign on. i may get a video when i am not signed in, but it might eat up too much time to sign in to make it possible

I JUST got the video, when it was over there was 1:20 left on the clock. I was not signed in. I didn't make it past the sign in because it kept telling me I was entering the weird looking security letters incorrectly...

finally

I just got it. Was messing around looking at hotels and the timer popped up-just under 5 mins. I click on the button to take me back to the home page. it looked the same as always which worried me. i entered the dates and location i wanted then clicked sumbit. thankfully, the timer came on again. i watched the videos (no sound on my pc). I just missed it last week and there were only a couple of hotel options but this time around there were many. i picked one quickly and booked. I finished with less than 30 secs left. I did not auto populate any fields. Good luck to all.

Were you signed into your account when you first noticed the timer, or did you log in at some point throughout the booking process?

I was not signed in. I signed in after picking the hotel.

Unhappy

so, just to be clear --

How many timers have been seen today? 2 at 5mins each?

I don't want to keep this open if I missed all three

there have been "reports" and "claims" on chat rooms of other success too

if all are legitimate, then they have had 5 or 6 times at least

either there are lmt shills posting bogus stuff, or idiots making stuff up

or, they are not doing at the same time for everybody

Personally I don't think it's a set time any more. I think they are randomly allowing the timer to pop up for people. i saw the same posts and my window happened a little later.

did you have any live chat rooms, specifically flyertalk, open and logged on your computer at the time?

while i hope you are correct, that sounds like both a computer programers nightmare. how do you ensure 15 minutes to every ip address

and, how can you prove that you did

and, that is not how it has been defined. i think

but, for all, it is most definitley the part we need to know
