New Hotel Thread Here The First One Reached Its Limit-READ 1ST POST IMPORTANT INFO

[brandip22]

Did anyone else hear that like 40 pops in a row!!! I raced over to LMT and my screen froze and my IE shut down! I finally got logged back on and cannot tell if I missed it!! I am starting to think that is what is really going to happen when the time comes. I went back to the chat room and it looked differnt than it did last night....I am so frustrated!

nope- nothing

 

[DancingMinnie]

you would think if they cancelled it, they would have sent out an email letting everyone know..

When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream, &quotNo, no! It's those pops again!"

Ok - this link does not show a number of people inside and looks nothing like the chat room I had before my computer zapped me out! Help!

I have firefox. Does the video come up as a popup? Would I need to turn off the pop up blocker?

I have no idea how to do that....any help would be appreciated.

Except I never got any emails with the clues in them so I doubt I'd get emails telling me it was over.

I know contests aren't supposed to be easy but with this many people you'd think somebody would have figured out the clue by now.

I've got about 5 -10 minutes and then I have to get back to my real life - supper, dishes, laundry, a list of errands ... but first, a shower!

I don't think it ever will happen. I think it is some crazy social experiment to see how many people they can get to do this ridiculous refreshing and for how long. The laugh is on us!

They are getting their zillions of hits to their website, but they are losing alot of customers who would be willing to use their site after this promotion.

Why is that? Their promo is getting alot of attention and bringing in thousands of new potential customers. Great marketing ploy on their part.

I prefer the randomness of the contest. If we knew exactly when it would go off then virtually none of your average consumers would even have a chance at getting it! There are hundreds (if not thousands) of computer whiz kids/adults who sit at home and use their know-how to beat out your average person. At least when it is random, everyone has a chance.

It is just like buying a product for the potential to win a prize. If the contest sponsors gave out more info, then it would just cause things to become unfair.

BTW, I'm not doing that chat thing and I haven't heard any of these pops that seems to be driving everyone crazy!

This is an article from budget travel's blog--it details that the window each day may be as small as 7 minutes!!!!!! They are to be a total of 15 minutes each day! It is legit, but the odds are VERY tough!

Not that willkeep this fool from sitting here for another 8 hours!

Once again...here we are pushing the button every 108 seconds...just like Desmond trying to save the world. Or at least money.

That is *exactly* it! Maybe if we rearrange the LOST numbers we can come up with the time???
