any1 care to guess how much they lost in this promo? perhaps 30-45 million?

Just say you missed your flight after spending too long receiving an enhanced patdown having opted out of the nudeoscope

If you showed up 90 mins early like they tell you to (ridiculous) you'd be in the clear...

I'm guessing about 200,000 bookings were made so far. Multiply that by $300 and you get 60 million CanBucks. Whatever that equals.

One interesting thing about all of this is that tourism dollars are gonna boom in December in LAS and NYC. Hopefully, that buck-boost will help pull us out of the trenches a little bit.

By the way, if you booked NYC, take some time (90 mins) and get tix to 'The Ride.' A show that happens on a bus while travelling through NYC streets. I have friends that have been involved with this from the start about 9 years ago. It's a must do experience for any tourist and New Yorkers as well!

I guess they REALLY mean it now!

That was also seen early Friday. Most likely scenario is that your hotel isn't allowed... or you didn't depart from CA?

I think this error message was a result of people trying to book hotels near, but not within, the required regions (e.g. Henderson instead of Las Vegas, Long Island instead of Manhattan).

200k is a lot of bookings. I would imagine nearer 20k.

Interesting people discussing billing and a refund. I had 2 bookings and 1 has been charged for just the after discount rate. The other is split in 2, one charged so far. Total is the after discount price.

They REALLY mean that you booked a hotel that isn't in the city
