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

[cmac609]

I knew you'd be back.

I am using the excuse that I missed you all so much (which I did) when my dh asks what I am doing.LOL

Handbag lady -how many nights did you get? I am trying to get oahu for 7 but haven't gotten a video yet.

I got 7 nights at the Outrigger on the Big Island in November. I can't remember which Outrigger as the print-outs are at home and I'm not.

Did I read correctly that the video window can pop up even when you're not searching a hotel? It can pop up anywhere?

 

[simonsmom]

well looks I will be here for awhile again tonight. I took a break last night except for a couple of tries. If I had only had another 10 seconds on Friday am.....

Yes, but this isn't new. I was goofing around booking a huge fake cruise when my tick-tock started.

Whoops. I must have missed that before. I thought it would only come up during a hotel search.

O.k. off to pretend to book to somewhere some more...

After trying for several days I finally got it!! I was so nervous, I am surprised I could type right. I actually got 7:50minutes, so I was able to finish with time left. I picked the first thing I saw though because I was so nervous that it would time out. So, we will be at Pop Century in September for 7 nights for free! Good luck to everyone else tonight.

Did you just get that?

I know the answer! Yes, they are tracking your IP address and your name and your credit card number. When they called me to make sure I knew I had the room at $0, I asked them if my husband can also try. I was told yes as long as he uses a different credit card number and a different computer (and I assume they mean IP address by this).

Thanks!

Seems like I might be out of luck trying at work then. I had even asked the head of systems at work about this. He says anyone outside would see all our company's computers as the same IP address.

Won't stop me from occassionally trying on a different PC though at work.
I am a glutton for punishment! I have a hurry up & wait type of job, so I have hours to surf the net anyway.

Maybe I do have a shot when I am home. Although I am not staying married to this chair & keyboard like I did late Sunday thru midnight Monday though!

Debbie...you know Tequila and I don't get along...

But this is magic tequila.

 

[caspersmom]

Actually I got Pop Century earlier this afternoon around 3pm eastern.

O.K. Thanks.

So no one has had anything for a few hours now, is that right?

Hate to be party pooper, rain on your parade, burst your bubble, but I've been "booking" really cool trips for the last 2 hours. I really think it's just random.

I read on another forum that your window of opportunity could have come and gone and you wouldn't know it.

Still, here I am .


FYI: I was pretending to pay for a cool cruise - Visa, Mastercard or American Express only. I was using my Discover. And from what I read on another fourm, no debit cards. Guess I'm out because all we have are Discover Cards, except for our debit cards. DH and I each have a Discover.

Oh, you're not. I had been pretend booking trips but always going back to the hotel search. I'll just keep trying to book pretend trips from now on with a hotel search every now and then. Can't hurt, right?

I was actually reading the blog on the site when the video popped up. Before that I had researched my dates and hotels, and also the coupon tab. I was on the site exploring for about 15 minutes. I did erase all cookies and enter a new email address and account from before even though I had not won before. Good luck to everyone, I was about to give up on the whole contest and then it popped up so hang in there.

 

[summerrluvv]

Has anyone actually watched some of their videos on the site?

 

[Mom2Ashli]

I don't see anymore excited happy posts.......

 

[summerrluvv]

..and I'm pretty sure those "tutorial" videos ARE the videos you see during the promotion pop up.
