I just signed up for it twice, once for me and once for my girl.

We're planning on taking a trip back home to San Dog. this summer.

Don't really want to stay with her Mother. Ya Know?

I could only find 2 catches:

1. You have to pay taxes on the room - however much they decide to charge you.

2. You have to send the hotel $50 at least 30 days before your intended stay as a security deposit.

As long as the taxes are reasonable, I guess it's a pretty good deal.

2 more catches.

9.Cancellation: Travelers must provide written notice of cancellation by registered mail, sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date.

10.Should Travelers need to reschedule their vacation, they must provide a written request along with a $25.00 US reschedule fee sent by registered mail.


I dont know about you..but when i cancel a reservation..it's usually a week or so before, not 60 days.

I'm going to a wedding so i'm pretty sure that I won't have to cancel my dates.

So if I make a reservation for 3 days and then my girl makes one for the following 3 we should be golden right?
Total of 6 days for next to nothing.

I hope my head is on right.

Yeah, I guess. Just remember to overlap the days because you only get 4 nights and 5 days if you want a continuous stay.

So how come no one had posted the $99 joining rate yet?? I wouldn't have even clicked the link if I knew that.

Well, it's still one of those "pay for it, then cancel it, and get your money back deals". You can get a refund up to 30 days after you subscribe and still keep the vacation. There still are way too many things that could go wrong for me to do this deal, though.
