[EXPIRED] LastMinuteTravel.com Offers 15,000 Hotels for $1 Per Night

I have been hitting refresh all day and it only gave 3 minutes to book. Over 2 minutes of that was replay of video.

This thing is soooo frustrating...I was in and had to see the video twice and while booking...ran out of time...anyone else have luck this time?

Yep. Page started to be able to reload for me. No counter. Went to the bathroom. Came back. 1:46 on counter. Not enough time once I saw it. Finalizing reservation when timed out. Those &%#$ videos! ARRGGGH!

this is so ridiculous. first, i kept refreshing and there was only 4 minutes when it finally showed me the clock. second, the hotel i wanted which has been available all the time...suddenly after the video there were no hotels available in that area. so, they don't do it for all of them. i tried another destination and only some of the previous hotels were available. every time you search, you get the video again...ridiculous.

their whole 15 minutes is a bunch of bs...its not anywhere close to 15!

I got no results at all. The city I search has about 10 hotels usually listed.

+1.

My thoughts are promos like this just end up hurting the company's reputation in the long run. I understand it's an amazing promotion, but if you're going to frustrate/anger your customers with how your site functions then why not just make it a sweepstakes?

I don't think it was 15 minutes. Was on the site just a few minutes before someone posted the 'NOW'. I went to the site, watched a video and there was only 6 mins. left. I was just on the site a few minutes prior and it wasn't up. So it doesn't seem like it's a whole 15 minutes.

Once the video was done I put in my dates, destination and the same video popped up! After it was over I had 10 seconds to book. Seems like this promo will be pretty tough to take advantage of.

Ooh crappy...I left for work and I had a feeling it started. Luckily I left my computer on last night and just caught the last 2+ minutes of the promo. I did a search for NYC in late April/early May and the only thing that came up was a whole bunch of hotels in Newark and one in NYC (the Ameritana). Not the greatest but it's off 54th and B'way so I guess it'll make do. If worse comes worse I'll book another room on Priceline so we don't cram into a tiny tiny room.

Latest window was 10:21-10:26AM CST.

Ran out of time and did not complete the tran. I imput the wrong date and had to change it which made the video replay.

[imm2b]

that was definitely not 15 minutes; at best it was on for about 2 minutes, I was looking away from the computer, then turn around it was already 49 seconds left.

I saw it w/ 5 mins to go. Had the dates and hotel picked out. Went to book and the site said there were no rooms available. After the 5 mins were up, I checked the same dates and hotel. Sure enough, I could book it. Frustrating.

[jazzy70]

I happened to log in when there was 3:45 minutes left... not sure how this happened as I was refreshing every 5 minutes.

The VIDEO kept replaying over and over as I was trying to check out.... and of course I timed out

Is this promotion for real???

[vatraveler]

Not even close to 15 minutes. I got two movies and then "we're sorry, too late."

After that I got the video a second time and finally it showed me the hotel list. I chose something and knew there wasn´t going to be enough time. Then sign in, fill in guest name, started to give cc details and time out.

I got in with over 4 minutes to go.
