The New,New Hotel Thread-Yes, We're STILL Waiting

[Bopsmom]

Hypothetically speaking, if someone gets their dates for free, and then they have to cancel out, since it is "non-refundable", what exactly do they have to pay? Are there fees or taxes?? Not that I am going to ever be lucky enough to even see that stupid video thing, but just in case....

They have to pay the taxes as income for starters and I think the T&C say you have to pay for 1 night(at real rate).

Well that fits me! I can't tell you how many times I "just" missed out! Guess it wasn't meant to be for me!

I know that must be frustrating but at least you got to play?? We had to endure Janice and Kevin and still they won't let us play! Seems those who get to see the video see it more than once and those of us who haven't seen it at all will still be shut out!

It is official, I have added the aspx to my little person in my signature. You have hit the nail on the hammer .

Well I will be the President of the losers club since it was my own stupidity that I didn't get it.

I don't know why I would have to pay any taxes as income. There's no way for them to do that. They don't have my SS# and they are not going to get it either.

My confirmation says that if I cancel within 5 days of the trip I have to pay a fee of one nights rate. We will know long before then if we are going or not so I don't foresee any problems.

Me either. Maybe it's the name and where we are from.
I notice in your sig that your name is Fran and you are from MA. My middle name is Frances and I was born and raised in MA. (Worcester).

 

[glitzybabes]

Has anyone booked with their paypal card? The one form your account NOT the Credit card

 

[CarolinaMomOf3boys]

Me either! they have called to congratulate us in person, yadda yadda, but they did NOT ask for SS#, nor will we give it out at anytime

I should have had it this morning but I left spaces in my CC# so it came back as invalid.

I just called their customer service and asked about fees and taxes. They originally were making it $1.00 a night and you pay taxes but they decided to make it even better and give the nights away free and they will pick up the taxes. So based on what another poster said, if you cancel within 5 days you owe nothing. If you do cancel at the very last minute you owe one for one night. Two more days to try.

Did they say it was done for today?

 

[Green Tea]

They have not called me.

Can anyone sign into their account and actually go into their booking? I can sign in and it says I am logged in. But if I click My Account, it just goes right back t log in.

 

[Luv2Scrap]

well, that's different... until now, it would always save my search information, even if it logged me out. now it's logging me out and not saving my search information.

 

[disney-super-mom]

So is the entire 15 minutes already done for today?

 

[mjh8955]

Customer Service did not say they were done for today, but then again I didn't think to ask...

 

[CarolinaMomOf3boys]

Ohhhhh I am sooooo sorry, I am sending you hugs!!!!
and some fruit and crackers and butt pillows
