Hotels $19.25
 
Well, I got one night at one of my choices? Anyone have better (2 nights) luck? And, the "resort fee" is almost twice as much as the room cost!

I'm assuming you're posting about LHW's $19.28 promotion. If so, that's great, sylvia!

Did you request 2 nights and get offered the 1? I was hoping they would do this with 2 night requests instead of just denying the entire reservation.

I knew the taxes would be more than the room cost, but I forgot about the "resort fees".

What hotel did you get?

how did you find out? did they email you? which hotel did you get and was it a weekend or weeknight?

I got an e-mail confirmation this a.m.
I'm going no matter what (happy to get in, of course)! I got a week night (requested 2) at La Posada Santa Fe. The taxes appear to be on the actual amount, not the usual room rate (delighted about that). Wondering, though, about what is covered in resort fee (presume that's what it is): can't imagine pool or golf are good options in December!

Wow, that's great. They said it would be about 7 days to respond. I haven't received anything from them yet...

I got two nights at the grande villa italia hotel in cascais, portugal.

First choices were three italian hotels. this was "anywhere in europe/anytime" option.

we live in spain, so are most likely going to be able to go, although we were awarded wednesday and thursday night. am really glad it paid off!

anyone else? my number, by the way, was 572. you can see a lot of posts at FT.

Greenhouse Oct 25th, 2008 06:13 PM

Lucky you, lin!

What's FT?

lincasanova Oct 26th, 2008 02:15 AM

flyertalk. but i don't know how to move around that website. i just do a search there for LHW and the thread comes up.

BTW, my room included taxes, but no where do i see i need to call or send a credit card anywhere.. or did they already have that?

a lot of people will not be using their rooms who got their fourth option .. so.. i am wondering how hotel will know that since there doesn't seem to be a credit card hold. am i missing something?

lincasanova, how did you know what your number was? I have looked at my Ref. number but can't figure out what number I was.

lincasanova Oct 26th, 2008 10:56 AM

the last three digits of your reference number . mine was xxx"0572".. should be something over 400. there are many people with the same number as this is some sort of clicking "clock"..

i was pretty lucky to at least get something within 1,500 miles from home! but i had hoped to get to an italian destination with cheap ryanair or iberia!

good luck on your petition. keep us posted.

people are getting notices all the time and posting them at flyer talk..

I got two nights in a Swiss hotel...and won't be able to use them: Tschuggen Grand Hotel

The last three digits of my nubmer oare 277. I did not get any of my US-based choices.

bfrac Oct 27th, 2008 03:50 AM

Thanks, I am number 580. I still haven't heard anything...
