[Luv2Scrap]

it really irks me that people are being accused of "cheating" because they aren't "playing by the rules" that the company is making up as they go along???

I had CSR. Of course like everyone else I was hoping for Poly or something, but a free week at any is okay with me. I didn't get it though.

I was one of the very few people that actually made it through last night to book a room. Unfortunately, the only hotel that had shown up in my search results for the Disneyland area was one that had a "on request" status instead of "available."

I got a confirmation email and my reservation is in the system and that LMT would update me to let me know if they were able to get the room. I called LMT this morning and am waiting to see if I will get the room. They are supposed to let me know by 3:30 PM EST today. The hotel was Hilton Suites.

None of the Disneyland Resorts were available for the $1 booking even though Disneyland Hotel and Paradise Pier had previously shown up in my search results and are showing up again today. If I had it to do over, I would have gone for a WDW Resort instead of Disneyland.

Hope that helps someone.

when you think about the WWW., 2000 people really isn't a lot. I can't believe that was enough to overwhelm them. I understand there were likely more people waiting than what was just in the chat, but.... really.... that's not a lot of people!!!

So True!!

Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but here's what was posted on their blog just this morning:

Welcome to Week 2 of The World for $1

We've seen a lot more questions popping up over the last 24 hours, so here are some answers!
The sale is still happening! Week two starting yesterday (February 2). During the first 6 days of The World for $1 sale, 955 reservations were made sending 2,261 people to 230 different destinations for free. We have completely limited the use of robotic or other non-manual activity on LastMinuteTravel.com as it is against the terms and conditions. However, for individuals who explore www.lastminutetravel.com, The World for $1 sale is very much available for a total of 15 minutes per day - no more than 3 sessions of no less than 5 minutes - covering the entire hotel inventory.

The purpose of this sale is to introduce people to the website – and the stand-out rates, availability, service and technology. Instead of simply refreshing, get to know the site a little better.

BYW: If you are signed up to receive hints, the last one went out Friday as a fresh new week of The World for $1 sale begins.

I just wanted to let people know that this does appear to still be on, I went around 11 just on a whim- after all those hours of sitting there- and booked CSR almost accidentally! I was just kinda in shock. Does anyone think there is ANY chance this will be transferable?

 

[Harmonysmomma]

Does anyone know what news magazine or news station that did a story on this deal??

The video came up for me about 15 mins ago. The choices were the Value hotels and some offsite Townhomes. I selected one of the values. I watched 3 videos. After watching the third video, I had 1 min and 47 seconds left to book. I then entered my cc from notepad, decided I didn't want to stay in a value and just let the time run out. I took a pass.

I wonder if it helps get a deluxe at Disney based on dates of travel? I picked a season I know Disney considers a low travel time (based on DVC point charts) and had a few deluxes come up when I made it to the hotel screen. It DEFINITELY helped me that I practiced entering the hotel information 100 times yesterday and also knew the views.

Congrats to all that are getting the deals today!! I've been watching this thread, but didn't have any luck yesterday w/the LMT site. One thing I keep noticing, is people are saying the time runs out right after they put in their CC info...is anyone (who didn't get the deal) worried about that?? Just curious...Thanks

 

[Mickeys.friend]

I just have to say this...right wrong or whatever...This whole thing has been so frustrating and for me at times, upsetting. I have been trying to do this at home on the sly, so that if i win, I can surprise my husband and kids. Well, they caught me trying overningt on Thursday and they know now that i am trying. Now, i wish they didn't know, because I think i just missed my chance this morning, when it ran for me for only a couple minutes. I am so tired and sleep deprived and to come on here and see that others got the deal is AWESOME! But, for those of you getting angry and upset that it's not working for you when you already have other trips booked, and for those of you that can just "pass up" a free value resort stay....well I gotta say you are just nuts...I wish i was in either of those situations....I know my kids would be THRILLED to know that they going on one Disney trip while I am trying to win a second....and I know my kids would be THRILLED to stay in a value resort! I should be so lucky....oh well, i know someone will flame me, but that is just how I feel. This is my family's only chance at a trip like this for a loooooong looooong time and i would be happy with whatever I got.....

I know, I know! I have reservations in June for dd's 30th birthday at BWV and some other family members have decided to join us. I thought if I could get accomodations for them at BWV, BCV, or YC it would work out better for us. Guess I'll just have to use some points!

I hear ya! I just came back, but I would be bringing DS12 on his birthday in Dec if I get this. Without this deal (or something VERY similar), there's not going to be a trip. I'd take ANYTHING. Just give me 5 minutes. That's all I need.

Ok so it just popped up for me...it does exist!!! BUT, after the first video, which was very slow, I only had 43 seconds left and tried to get POR but after the second video I had NO time.

Now I will definitely keep trying!

 

[tippy77]

To those who have gotten in this morning, what page have you been on when the video popped up?

I had this happen a little while ago (around 9:00am PST). I had 5 nights at POR (no deluxes were on the list). I had over 2 minutes left when I entered my cc information. I got to the final screen where I needed to enter a code at the bottom of he screen. I entered the code and got the "promotion over" screen.
