the thing ended 8 minutes ago, was suspended 7 minutes before that, and many are still seeing "try again"
i wonder how this will end up for them >
new business gained from publicity (bad) and email harvesting
(minus)
business lost from site downtime

Nothingness
80 minutes is up, and I never saw anything other than "Sorry! Due to the overwhelming number of consumers currently trying to access this promotion, your request is being delayed momentarily. Please be patient, don’t get discouraged, and retry in a few seconds by clicking here, or by going back to http://www.lhw.com/1928."
Oh well, at least the site didn't tease me by letting me get part way and then crashing!

I am laughing so hard. HAHA. 
The hotel drama... so are the Days of our lives on FT.
With the economy in crisis and the bailout/rescue bill gonna be passed by the US Congress.
Ever since this 1928 Promo was mention on FT and other travel sites. The 'greed' to stay and sleep for two nights at a hotel besides your own aka home. Yes, you would stay at a hotel in a city you might have never been.
This is so funny... well ok not really. But to image everybody in one big room with their computer. Someone stands up and yells "19.28" (aka BiNGO).
There are more important things in life.

NOTE- if you email Michael Calder, you will receive email verifying. Reply to the verification. I guess this is to stop spam from unknown emails or simply in preparation of the rapid fire onslaught of emails coming in from irrate customers who want 1+ hours of their lives back!

Did anyone get in on this deal? Surely somebody did!?!?
Also, is anyone else a Misleaders Club member? What a joke of a promotion. They would have been better off offering every member who stayed with them in the last 1-2 years a free night in order to celebrate their anniversary.
Any marketing fool will tell you it's easier to sell to existing clients. Not to mention, it's much harder to win back a client you lost than to acquire a new one.

I Knew I Could Find Support Here
I enjoy the company of other bottom-dwelling scumbag luxury bargain hunters.

OP: MisLeading Hotels of the World... bwahahahahaha.
I'm emailing them just for the halibut - I'm sure their email server is offline too.
BTW: Sedona, AZ Enchantment Resort is a dog with many fleas- don't say there even if it is $19.28.
