Page looks like it's up, but I didn't try booking anything since I'm waiting for the next gig to start up and have no need for hotel stays right now.

Thanks - I cancelled the room I had reserved earlier today and re-booked it through this link.
But I suspect it won't post - a travel agent ID of 9999999 was pre-filled when it linked to the reservation site, but the reservation was then rejected due to an invalid Travel Agent ID. I couldn't continue until I cleared it out. I suspect it was supposed to be the token to indicate the bonus as I couldn't find anything in the URL.

I booked using the link and printed all the stuff to show I followed directions. I then cancelled a previous reservation. I have confidence that the bonus points will post.

I got the error as well, but also noticed that the all nine's TA number stayed in the reservations I made. I also have no doubt about the bonus posting.

Does anyone know how long the bonus points take to post? I made my reservation on the 21st through the link and had a stay last Wednesday night. My regular points posted but not the 500 booking bonus.

I had to chase the extra points by filling out a missing credit email. I highly doubt the points would have posted automatically... I recommend you do the same.
