Unusual promo....
The $1 room rates can only be obtained if you book on Mondays through Fridays during a certain 15-minute window—and which 15 minutes of each day is a mystery. However, LastMinuteTravel will email you clues hinting at the right time to book if you sign up on the website for a hints newsletter.

Post as soon as you learn the 15 minute period
We really are NOT in competition with other Flyertalkers on this (with 15,000 hotel rooms, there are plenty to go around) so as soon as anyone knows when the 15 minute period is on any given day, I suggest they post it in this thread.

Let's just hope this doesn't become another Leading Hotels fiasco with their site becoming bombarded with traffic, all to the utter shock of their IT folks, of course....

Nothing yet here, however do we know the sale will start this Monday (Jan 12)? The info on their website says:
Monday-Friday for 2 weeks in January could mean:
Jan 19-23 and Jan 26-30, and not necessarily Jan 12-16.

Does anyone have a link to the full terms and conditions? I can't seem to find it on their site.
You can interpret their offer several ways. Some possible interpretations are:
a) Once the 15 minutes start, every hotel is displayed at $1.00 and you can book up to 7 nights.
b) We give you hints and you book your hotel rooms. Afterward, we tell you if you booked it during the 15 minutes and lower your rate to $1.00.

If after purchase you were notified you didn't make the 15 minute window, I'd want to make sure I bought a room that's refundable.

I set up an account in advance to speed things up if this ever happens.
