I've found this quite often (more often than not) to be the case at Hiltons when one hasn't booked on hilton.com

Yeah, if they're trying to salt in non-consecutive days and the 2-day restriction, you can see where it's heading. I also notice tons of banner ads on FT. Am glad they're helping Randy with expenses and all that, but if they put up 4 consecutive nights in Manhattan (or even New Orleans) at $10 without strings they'd hardly need to advertise.

I do wonder if behind all this is a LMT executive who's getting bashed for not having enough traffic on the site vs. competitors. If so, it wouldn't be the only Internet business suffering under that metric. Traffic on eBay listings is about half what it was 2 years ago, and it's hard to make good things happen as long as that's the case.

Anybody used the "5-star" hotel in Budapest currently on offer?

Of course, without consecutive nights it is of less interest,
but I was thinking of combining this with the current IC Vienna PB.

The least amount of hotels and dates offered so far. 3 of 5 require a 2-night minimum and no hotels have the $10 rate on consecutive ngihts.

This "promo" is now so WEAK, I'm considering unsubscribing this thread.

It did work pretty well in New Orleans, No?

It does seem they clearly
are playing an alternate night game.
Oh well, it is their game.

Thus far, yes, LMT can be annoying,
but they have delivered some surprisng deals
just when you least expect it !

Yes, they often advertise stuff before it is bookable.
I also cannot get NYC July 31 to the check out screen.

It may still work out.
For $10, well....

Why am I now acting like an LMT apologist?
How embarrasing.

The two hotels in Gothenburg are Scandic Europa and Scandic Crown. Two nights min but you get the 10USD rate for both nights. Can anyone confirm if you earn stay credit using these rates?

The one in Brussels are Holiday Inn.

NYC Jul31st available.

Just booked 2 rooms for the $10 deal on friday jul 31st...
Astor on the Park.

It's only $10 including tax, won't be expecting much except a place to crash.

If they are, what I would do is keep trying in the days ahead. One thing I found when booking my friends Houston Hilton Post Oak $10 per night reservation a couple of weeks ago was that the $10 inventory - which sold out for my friends dates - was added again later in the week after I booked it.
