Anyone going to try to get one of those II $1 Getaways?

[Rushcreeke]

Marty...
That is exactly what Interval has done. Promote, Promise... Look at how many people are attracted to their site this week... I myself have seen some great prices and locations. If my children were not in school I would probably grab a few of them... Acapulco for $150..

 

[smcintos]

How did you do it.

For me I justed looked all over but I did look at places near me more often. I think it is just luck . I'm not to lucky cause after finding the getaway I thought I would try the casino and not so lucky after all. I still am exicited about my upcomming trip to MN. Good Luck to all of you !

 

[Rushcreeke]

Are they in the open or do you have to go to each resort and open them at the bottomr... see more?

 

[smcintos]

I had to look under see more and it was in a resort on the second page they are not easy to find like I said it is just luck.

Justwanttogetaway,

Am curioius--when is the good for?

Other winners too,

Could you let us know what time yours is good for (if you haven't already posted this info).

Not trying to belittle the win--am still trying for one myself--but it does seem that no one has gotten anything yet that's good for 2008.

Good luck all and congrats to those who have scored!

I did write about my dollar getaway win in an earlier post, but since some people are asking, I will summarize here, and add some details:

My dollar getaway win is for Thanksgiving week in the Poconos. I found it by just clicking on the different getaways. I did have to go to the "SEE MORE" screen to find mine. The $1.00 appears in the two columns. Then you click on "BOOK IT". I had to pay only $1.00. I have seen that some other people have had to pay a few pennies more. I didn't. Perhaps it is because I live in PA. As for my win, I am sure I was just in the right place at the right time. Plus, I didn't waste my time looking for overseas getaways. I looked mainly in the US and Canada. I found my dollar getaway around 7:30 pm.

It's nice to see so many other people here are winning the getaways too.

 

[geneticblend]

P.S. I think Interval puts up one dollar getaway at a time. I don't think they put all five up at once. If they did put all five up at once, then one person could win more than one all within a few minutes!

Also, just a little tid bit of information. First of all, I don't know anything about computer programming, etc... so don't go criticizing me on this. My terminology might not be correct. I have heard of other contests and such on the internet where you have to search for something. Some people who are computer saavy know how to write programs that can do the searching for them. So for example, someone could write a program that could run by itself until it finds a $1.00 listing. The computer can do the searching much faster than a human ever could. Anyone out there know how to do this....?

I have been trying to find something for the past five days, so far without success. I am not looking for any distant locations ( e.g. Mexico, Spain, etc.) and so far limited my search to October-November time frame. Part of the reason is that a month or more ago I bought two II getaway weeks for early December. Very attractive prices, but certainly nothing like $1

I have two questions: a) am I right that all lucky people so far have won studios ? b) did II ever annouce when this $1 promotion will end ?

K.

 

[borntotravel]

This promo ends October 3rd. The person that one the unit in Minnisota got a two bedroom toward the end of November.

I have to say I'll actually be happy when it's over. I've tried each day three or four times a day (probably a total of 3-4 hrs.) trying to find one. I search the same places: Branson, Myrtle Beach, Daytona Beach, Orlando, New England, the Caribbean and Las Vegas. Once in a while I throw some others in. I just must not be hitting them right, because other people have gotten them and one from Vegas and Branson went untaken (which kills me because I always check before I got to bed, LATE).

To me, now it's like a challenge (a sickness really - ha ha)

 

[geneticblend]

borntotravel...hang in there...you've got 4 more days!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

 

[JustWannaGetaway]

The one I got yesterday for Salou, Spain is for a 2 bed 2 bath for 11/12/07-11/19/07. Funny thing is I got it yesterday but did not show up in the "winners" list today. And the other one I posted did show, it was the Costa Del Sol one. But I definitely got it for $1 and received a confirmation. So are you guys trading them or reselling them if you aren't going to use it?

No, I could not make arangements that fast.

 

[midwest6]

Has Interval posted winners from yetesterday yet? My alerts are blank so far today.
I wouldnt doubt that they are getting calls from disgruntled members such as those that search all night and the next morning find one that hasnt been found where they searched....hmmm doesnt make sense to me.

 

[Nanoose]

II site was down last nite when I tried to look a couple of times!

Why and how would you know?

I just searched and that resort/date cost $634.00 $659.00 $90.57. Maybe I missed it?

 

[JustWannaGetaway]

Because I started to book it which reserves it for 18 minutes...keep checking they seem to appear and disappear randomly. If you don't believe me, check the winners tomorrow...they will be Willamsburg, Cabo San Lucas, Gold Canyon AZ....

 

[midwest6]

It is held 18 minutes for you to decide after you look at it...try again!

 

[rsackett]

It's still there!!!!! I have 17 min left I will not book-it. If you want it look 17 min from my post.

 

[JustWannaGetaway]

You should book it...they come and go randomly
