Typically, when do the post Thxgiving discounts start?

[bas71873]

Do they start the Saturday after Thanksgiving or the Monday after? Is it typically room discounts or FD? We've never been this time of year, currently booked at the Dolphin, but thinking of switching to POFQ after I book my flights here in the next week or so (waiting for AirTran to release flights to compare to JetBlue). I will book with our AAA room discount, but wondering what the usual discounts have been in the past for that time of year. I've never paid much attention because it's not our usual time of travel.

We are booked 11/29-12/7 and CM told me there will most likely be a discount but they are not sure yet what it will be and it will probably not be valid Tday week so would start Sun.

I did find this, but surely there are black out dates. . So I guess I'm curious as to what those are.
