I attempted to get the deal hundreds of times while waiting at an UA gate in SEA. I continued trying inside the plane while waiting for the door to close and was finally able to get the the login page but after that I kept getting server busy errors. I am typing this while in the air and will submit after landing in SFO. Hopefully they will extend the 80 minute interval until all the promo rooms are gone as I doubt many people were able to book.
Reading about the carnage I missed now.

I wonder what hotel managers think of this!
Some of them are very reputable and famous hotels and some have fought hard to get accepted into LHW.
Now they have been misrepresented and quite possibly lost a good number of clients!
I am very sure that the GM of the Hay-Adams does not want someone from feebies.com to stay in his hotel (as opposed to the targeted Leader's Club Member & return guest).

OH. MY. GOD. I just got a follow up email with.. drum roll please... the form not attached AGAIN.
LHW needs to spend a little bit more on IT (and less on snazzy graphic design firms) because this is a *hit show!

no email here either... also, shockingly, still get the following message, even when I go to the link that's supposed to explain the promotions's "end." I've cleared cache, too, but still getting it:
"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."
I did send an email to the address I've normally used for Leaders Club relations in the past - not sure if anyone will get to it anytime soon, as it's probably a bit overloaded.
Sheesh.

got a second email from them to the same address, one sent at 10:11 and the other at 10:35...exact same format, still no form...
they should really just forget this ever happened rather than digging the hole deeper.
the site itself is still getting punished and the home page won't load, hours later
