[EXPIRED] $100 off Hotel Bookings on Orbitz Using VISA Checkout
 

Orbitz is launching a promotion in conjunction with VISA promoting ‘VISA Checkout’ on Cyber Monday. They’re giving out $100 off your hotel booking of $100 or more for a total of $1,000,000 which is essentially 10,000 bookings.

Offer link: http://www.orbitz.com/mktg/visa-checkout/

Here’s the catch – You must have a VISA card and sign up for VISA checkout and the promotion starts at 12:01AM Pacific Time. Spend $100 or more on a hotel room booked on Orbitz.com and receive a $100 discount off the listed price when paying with Visa Checkout. Must enter promo code: VISACHECKOUT to get this discount.

This deal starts at 12:01AM Pacific Time on 12/1/2014 valid for hotel bookings between December 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

I've written a step by step guide on how to take advantage of this promotion: http://first2board.com/pointssummary...visa-checkout/

It seems the app says 10am CST and not midnight PST

10 min past stated start time of 12:01 PST and still a no go. "This promo code is valid for bookings made between Dec 1, 2014 and Dec 8, 2014. Please continue booking or try your promo code again later. "

Just tried, not working. Stay must be between DEC 1 and 8 2014 error message pops up

there is no mention anywhere that it would start at midnight pacific time. where are you getting this from? it could start any time on monday.

i'm getting the same error...has anyone had any success yet?

Nope, same bullsh*t.

Same junk here in Chicago. Anyone reach out to Orbitz?

Yup. I did online chat.

Before I even asked my question the agent stated that "VISACHECKOUT" promo starts at 10amCST.

Looks a bit messed up:

"This promo code is valid for bookings made between Dec 1, 2014 and Dec 8, 2014. Please continue booking or try your promo code again later. Promo code rules"

Still nothing. :o

I can't sign up for a checkout account. Keeps saying not available. I'm in SGN for another few weeks, so also tried via VPN to appear in the US in case that was it. Anyone else having trouble with signing up for a checkout account?

Did anyone register with non-US VISA? Can't also proceed with checkout

nope, can't register with visacheckout. seems to be only available for us, aus, canada. did try with usa ip and virtual address, no luck.

I'm currently in France. I signed up for a Visa Checkout Account with no problem, using my airbnb's wifi.

I've already used the VisaCheckout, actually, having booked a hotel in Copenhagen. (without the benefit of this promotion, as it was a sub$100 rate. )

Orbitz Garbage
 

After getting up at 4a.m.to use this promotion, no luck on the computer and called their toll free number. Was transferred FOUR times only ultimately to arrive at an agent who said they were "having issues with the promotion" and that it wasn't working and he didn't know when it would be working.

Time to cancel the ORBITZ account. These ripoff clowns shouldn't be allowed to get away with this kind of garbage without some kind of consumer retaliation:td:

Cyber Monday: $100 off Hotel Bookings on Orbitz Using VISA Checkout
 

Any success???

>Dat feel when there are no good hotels for $100 near you

Well if it's 10am CST, it will be another 3 hours before the code is available to use. I checked at 12am EST too.

7:45am MST, also getting the "error"

"Promo code eligible between Dec 1-8" etc.

Tried 2 different cities/countries/dates if it makes any difference.

money.com shows the sale now starts at 11 a.m. EST today
 

Good to hear confirmation of the 10am CST/11am EST report a PP posted.

is it one time use promo?

or can we book the hell out of it, lol :)

Book a qualifying standalone, pre-paid hotel for $100 or more for a stay occurring between December 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015 via Orbitz using Visa Checkout as the payment method and promo code VISACHECKOUT, and receive $100 off your booking.

Why the Dec1-8 dates coming up as only valid?

You have to book between Dec 1 - 8. The promo isn't even live yet - just under an hour more.

I signed up for visa check out through BofA who is giving away $10 gift card for enrolling so makes it a better deal. Hopefully good rate will be available for the dates I'm looking at although not a fan of the prepaid rooms though since I may cancel.

Not available outside US/AU/CAN ?

Deal is on!
 

It's available outside US/Can.. =)

Deal is live

Can you use it more than once?

Just booked for two rooms in Switzerland. Received $200 off so $100 per room on a single booking

Just used the promo to confirm a $38 room at the Stanford Court in SFO

Sweet no minimum stay. I booked a $48 room at Club Quarters Grand Central for WineDO

If i'm staying for 2 nights. Is it possible to make 2 separate reservations for $100 off each night?

Orbitz just called me, then hung up on me ...:confused:

Don't think one person can book two consecutive nights, but if there are two of you, why not open two seperate Visa Checkout accounts.

Or perhaps if you have two seperate visa cards, you can open two different visa checkout accounts and apply both on consecutive nights.

I did exactly that using my visa for one night and my wife's visa for the second night.
Not seeing a lot of nicer brand name hotel chains. But some of the local 4* hotel choices seem nice (NYC area)

Just tried for HKG and error response was 'not eligible for destination' but don't recall reading in the T&C there were defined locations. Or was I misreading?
