Same here..had the hotel reserved and was seconds away from pulling the buy trigger.
It's a $160 U.S. Fee for a tourist visa if you take it in yourself. Otherwise add the fee of a third party visa company if the Brazilian Embassy isn't in your state.
For me in AZ it needs to be submitted in person or via a third party in Los Angeles. So adding another $89 in third party fees will kill it for me. Darn sounded like a decent getaway!

If just transiting GRU, Visa is NOT required per Brazilian Consulate.

The transit visa (VITRA) shall be granted to an alien that needs to transit through the Brazilian territory in order to reach the country of destination. The transit visa is not required by foreign citizens that only have to make stops or connections in Brazil, provided they remain in the international transit area of the port or airport in Brazil.

Which consulate did you use? For the LA consulate they did not take applications via mail when I got my visa 3 years ago. I still had a TX license back then and the Houston consulate does accept mail applications so I was able to do it but for an AZ resident who has no option but LA (you don't get to choose which consulate to use unless things have changed, it's based on your residency) mail is not an option.

Guys,
FARE IS GONE! I tried from LAX, BWI, PHX, PHL, JFK, ORD, ATL, IAH (the last two to see if AA is attacking UA & DL) and nothing. Most fares now showing $1,000+
