If the website lets you book it then you are all fine is typically my approach - unless you're likely to be changing it. I'd read it that you could only use it until 4/1, but I'd refer to my earlier point: website booking == its fine within the T&Cs. Sometimes a hotel would reuse a rate code for a different set of dates but forget to update the T&Cs - or extend an offer and again don't update the T&Cs.

As littlevoices mentions, if the online tool will let you make a reservation with that rate, then you are probably good to go.

As for interpreting the rules, I would have interpreted the rule to mean that the rate is valid for Sunday -Thursday nights between 1/1 and 4/1. It wouldn't be valid after April 1st at all.

Glad to know I have two people who agree with me...at least now I know I'm not crazy.

It lets me book online, I'm just worried about them cancelling it a month out and saying the rate wasn't valid. I'd prefer to have a paddle at all times if you know what I mean.
