Yeah, I don't really get them. Then again this promo won't piss off as many customers as their $1/night deal did.

In the end I got a a nice Wyndam in Panama for a week and double Wyndam points. They shelled out over a $1,100 for my week long hotel stay.

Yes, it was an incredibly turbulent two weeks.
I "won" a week at a nice GIG hotel.

In the end, I canceled it, and in hindsight,
was much more entertained than pissed off. .

Now, about those $10 rooms at Budapest Hilton....

I got Atl for -$1.50 on 7/31. I'm waiting to see if they actually pay me for staying there!

Yes, it's the Buckhead Doubletree. I booked it for tonight and it showed as -$1.50. Guess we'll see what happens when I get there.

BUckhead Gone

I just tried Buckhead, ATL and the web site gives me an error. Looks like it is gone. I was going to shack up there for the night just for fun.

The Buenos Aires property appears to be the Loi Suites Recoleta Hotel.

http://book.asiatravel.com/Hotel.asp...m=0&SR=1#hotel

Ranked 56/346 on Trip Advisor. Rooms look new and nice; it does appear to be an all-suite hotel.

My stay went well on 7/30. My credit card account shows a credit of $1.50 today.

When they reload on Tuesday will they likely offer the same hotels as this past week or are they always different? Was trying to get Doubletree in ATL-Buckhead for next Sunday. It (undercover) was listed as being available Friday morning for free on 7/31, 8/2, 8/7 and 8/9. I tried booking and got all the way past entering cc info before it stated they were having problems. Tried again Friday night but it had changed to $62. Any input appreciated.

Has anyone used LMT for Shanghai hotels? Looking for something near $50/nt and several 4 star places listed including what seems to be the Park Hotel which doesn't get great reviews on tripadvisor.

Thoughts?

Looking for 5 nights in mid-late August.

You might get lucky,
but LMT is not known for great rates
unless it is some special promo.

I did well in Shanghai using Hotel Club, but again,
there were $40-50 credits available, long gone I think.

Check out the Expedia "refer-a-friend"
and Priority Club "Friends and Family" threads.

That's what they say, but yet it works for a 1 night stay on Aug 7, but not Aug 9. It was $0.30 earlier today for the 1 night stay (thanks for the post opcio) , but now the price has jumped to $10.01.

Also, Orlando works for a 1 night stay on Aug 16.

The Budapest hotel is the Hilton West End, and the Orlando Hotel appears to be the Monumental Hotel.


OMG, another LMT error! I'm shocked
