I did in fact book cheap rooms (for other people) and think that this is a fantastic deal.
I'm just waiting to see what the catch is...

Your room reservation is probably the reason that hotels.com is looking for other alternatives for their 10 nights = 1 free night program. LOL! Or at least that is what I assumed when I opened their marketing survey yesterday. None of the alternative possibilities offered for selection sounded nearly as good as the present offer!!
Now, if they had only credited my cheap 5 night stay at a BW in Naples, FL (which they say I booked through an affiliate telephone number

, but that's another story), I'd be very close to my first $400 free room.
