So, we register on Oct 6 and either instantly win or dont?

We then have until the 23rd to book an overnight stay on the 23rd?

How exaclty will this work? Will we select a hotel and then enter to win at that particular property?

And if the hotel uses Dynamic Currency Conversion then they will mark up the $1 on the conversion.

Its only taxable if the value is over $600 IIRC which many of these hotel rooms will be below...

Looks like a fun promo ^

23 October

The way I read this is that you can only stay on that one night, which is no good for me, as I will be home in the UK.

It did start at midnight ET. Didn't win. Says I can re-enter tomorrow.

The hotel I was hoping for (Wilmington, DE - all suites) isn't listed. NY, NY is though
