Major clusterf*ck today
Reloading the page from about 9:55 on. The instant the deal went live, I tried to add a $1000 Marriott card into my cart but they were already gone. We're talking 2-3 seconds here. This does not bode well for the other deals (e.g. Wyndham)
I was able to buy 5 $50 gift cards successfully. I had all the other cards in my cart, entered my credit card info, and got an error message when I went to complete my purchase. Ridiculous.

Today I bought the marriott $100 gift card.
It took me to a screen to enter my info.
Took me to another screen where I confirm my purchase.
Then once I confirmed it I got a screen that said
Looks like something went wrong be we are working on it.
So I have two questions. Do I get my gift cards or not.
Secondly has anyone have this happen to them before. (I was using Chrome)
Edit: I checked my CC and there is a $1.00 preauthorize charge on my card but no charge for the gift cards.

Seriously, if you didn't receive an email confirmation, I think you have a problem. Maybe they'll make it right for you, but the odds are probably against that.

Can you use the Hilton points for more than a five night stay? The T&C says it is for up to a five night stay at 1-7 cat hotels.

Yes, you may be able to use them for more than a five night stay. You are buying Hilton points to use however you would use other points you acquired from normal Hilton stay/partner activity. These are "ordinary" Hilton points rather than some kind of new, restricted instrument.

Is it possible to open multiple tabs of the different deal types on the same browser or do I have to do 1 window per browser?
E.g
If I want to buy Super 8 and Daily Inn deals at the same do I have to do it on Safari + Firefox or can I do it all on Firefox with different tabs at the same time?

Just noticed on the T&Cs "Max. Quantity per Purchase: 1. No more than 1 set of points purchased through this offer are allowed per Wyndham Rewards® number."
Does this mean that, unlike last year, you can only purchase one lot of points? Or that, since they artificially break it up among different kinds of Wyndham properties, each "offer" is one set of points?
Not sure how to read it!

<rant on> So many FB likes for this and people commenting. I know many others have posted this, but how did things get exponentially more popular this year? I miss the last couple years where you could get all the points that you needed. This is like a huge feeding frenzy now. </rant off>
