Thanks. If anyone finds other nights, please give us a heads up. Obviously, it's hard to stay in NYC for 15 bucks.

Was this outside of Jun 21-26?

Did you have a negative balance in the quote?
If so, anything happen on completing the booking?

It was June 24 and went through straightforwardly at $11.80. Though now I feel ripped off if others are getting -$43+.

Is there a best-rate-guarantee I can do a claim for?

Seriously, though, be mindful of all the cancellation and no-show language if anyone wants to try it. Maybe book to a virtual or gift card?

You could look at Post #1.
Seems to be correct so far.

but still only see the buy 3 get 4th free.....

Sorry, looking for other cities and outside the $10 deal that is going on right now.

Ah...then the trick is to copy the property description text block from LMT and google it.
90% of the time the home page for the "undercover" property pops right up.

6 pm cst edit- The prices for the Atlanta rooms continue to evolve.
Some dates are now $8+,
one still comes up at less than $ -1

Interesting thing just happened when I went to look at the current rates in Atlanta... I checked June 21, 22, and 23, and it listed the rates as Blank-$8.48-$8.48, and it's ready to book for a price of $19.65 a-i.

I checked JUST the night of June 21, and it comes back as unavailable.

This is a major glitch, I hope somebody can take advantage of it!

Last promotion these guys did, they change the T&C after the purchases were completed to say that no ... you did not buy these, but you won these.

Thus they were treated as winnings & thus were taxable.

Be aware of this.
