It's weird how people post. Exact Dates can make double-triple difference in room value (hi dates vs. shoulder dates). And resort fees are the same money out of your pocket as the room price - so why specify room charge and NOT specify fee charge...

here is a more important query: given that codes were disclosed in advance, there are some Expedia customers who (although duly prepared with all their info on Expedia app) encountered "code expired" literally on the hour+seconds upon code's release.
In years past, a few of us were successful in imploring Expedia to honor Cyber Monday's near-booking. Anyone with first hand experience?

I booked 4 days at the Bahia Principe in Jamaica all inclusive with the 50% code for $600 all in, I thought it was a decent deal, and I was pretty clumsy with it in my first go, took me a minute.
After that it was a disaster though, the 90% codes were gone in 1-2 seconds. In the last round the 50% codes were gone in about 7 seconds. Seriously?
I think at least the 90% codes are probably fixed/leaked/fake. All gone in 1-2 seconds max, ridiculous. I was ready, kept refreshing every second, entered code immediately, said expired. No later than 1-2 seconds after posted in each round.

Priceline had a better sale today for its opaque "Express Deals." New promo codes every hour ranging from lame ($25 off) to very good ($750 off a booking of $1000 or more). I was able to apply the $750 code at 8AM this morning, and I was 100% sure of what the hotel was that I would be booking, but I was sure something better would come up with Expedia or Travelocity. Oops. [sigh]
