I hope you're right, sc flier. I don't know about others here, but for me a 33-day advance cancellation policy is definitely not "last minute".

BTW, thanks to all for sharing all the small details you can remember from your speedy reservation race. For those (most?) of us who missed it completely, your descriptions make it easier for us poky participants to visualize and "train" for the next round.

Call me a loser, but I am staying up until the timer starts. We are going on a cruise in March and would love to score a nice Miami hotel 2 nights before the cruise.

I was under the impression that the contest won't go Live if you are sleeping...so I'm thinking no earlier than 6am EST?

[wr813]

how did you get that impression? Just wondering.

Hey, I was just wondering, does this also include foreign hotels in the listings, or just in the usa... or when they mean all hotels... do they mean.. ALL hotels listings for whereever you look up will be only $1?

As in, all of them, as in every single one, as in, there won't be any that AREN'T $1, as in.... let me know if I was unclear.

Good morning fellow earlier watchers.

'On Request' rooms work too? Isn't there a great risk involved? Does the 'request' have to be completed within the window?

It is for any hotel that they sell.

[wr813]

[BIMMERKID2]

On another note, how can one finally know when they have snapped the right time, where will that timer "appear"?

[wr813]

are hotel taxes included or do we pay for those?

[MyXa]

Hotel taxes are included. They just charge you is $1 per night.

@BIMMERKID2 Actually a splash screen appear first then you go trough a little video and then you can see the timer and it's ticking.
