And I don't remember Orbitz after 4 days cancelling my tix and asking me to pay for the difference.

Just my .02$
Right - how is this really any different from Amazon or BestBuy.com where they show the MSRP and say that you'll see the final price when you go to check out? And then where do you draw the line (as others have already stated)? A 140k award on "hidden" sale for 100k? 70k? 50k? 5k? 1k? 4?
