Haha. Yes. I called many times when I had my issue, and it just kept saying email.

Did you go to your deals page at Saveology?
When I purchased I got a confirmation e-mail That stated in part

Hi darben
Thanks for cracking the Saveology Daily Deal. You just saved a whole bunch of coin.

Your purchase was successful! Check back tomorrow for your activated voucher by visiting your My Deals Page.

My voucher is finally available -- it took little over 24 hours. I did not receive an email that it became available, so keep checking your account on their website.

I got the same email as darben got.

It was also a bit tricky to get the website to accept the voucher, to get the $50 off. I believe the way it finally worked out for me was I had to click through the link on the My Deals page (on the Saveology website). Going straight to the hotelcard website did not work for me.

Has anyone else noticed that the page on thehotelcard.com where you input your payment information is not secure (https)?

Just as a side note with this Saveology website - I ordered a $10 Subway card for $6.50. When it arrived, it was a $10 Dunkin Donuts card.

They still have some bugs to work out, apparently.

Taxes, fees and bed charges way above - don't like to be charged like a foreign hotel if book a US based one. Never pay for double beds in the US.

I'm able to get these (physical) cards using my Citi Card Extra Cash where I've only browsed, but never actually used.

IIRC, in the past, these went for $25 off using the rebate cash in my account. Seems for a limited time (?), it is possible to fully redeem $50.

https://extracash.citi.com/gateway?t...clearFilters=Y

If anyone is interested, send a PM.

During my transaction I looked and I was on an HTTPS site and the lock showed at the bottom of my browser. In addition my security is set to warn me if I send unsecured info and I was not warned

Has anyone experienced problems with their website recently? Sometimes the site shows error messages, or even unavailable...

Yes, it was tricky for me. I had to click through the link in my Saveology account, that was the only way I could get it to work.

Service, on the other hand, is great. This hotel card thing is being done by hotels.com. I booked a stay in Vermont for this weekend. Vermont however, got destroyed from Hurricane Irene. There are over 100 roads closed and there was no way to get to my hotel. So:

1. They called me (the hotel card people).
2. They issued a prompt refund for the balance over the $50.00, that I paid.
3. They said that they had no credit vouchers in the amount of $50.00, so they are sending me one in the amount of $100.00 (Don't ask me why they didn't just issue another $50 hotel card - I didn't question it)

Yes, I've found the website to be very glitchy in a variety of ways (error messages, only being able to show the first page of available hotels, etc.) and not just recently. Sometimes I just leave the site and come back at a later time. That being said, I've been able to successfully use five of the coupons so far with no problems with the stays themselves.
