Saw this on fatwallet.com. Its a weird promo where you can book rooms for the 1 to 2 days out from March 31st to April 15th. One room per property per day will go for 1 cent.

No fooling, from April 1-15 all participating Red Roofs are offering one room per day for One Cent. You can only book this great deal online — go to the redroof.com website at noon EDT, starting on March 31, to book rooms for April 1 or 2 for one cent. Once these rooms are sold, you can try again the next day for another 1 cent room. You can keep trying until rooms booked through April 15 are sold out. These great deals will go quickly, though, so hurry!
