Since enlisting the services of Akamai Technologies, Inc. last Friday, we have made significant progress with the technological redesign of the USD 19.28 Sale. With the majority of the newly-built system completed, we are approaching the final launch phase of this project. Tomorrow, we are performing the "User Acceptance Testing" (aka our internal "dress rehearsal") in order to ensure that your customer experience is pleasant.
We will be posting further details on the actual sale this Friday, October 17 after 4 pm GMT (12 noon Eastern Daylight Time). Please check back here at that time. Thank you!

On Friday, October 10, we engaged Akamai Technologies, Inc., the world premier web content delivery network, to provide the technology solution for this endeavor. Together we are working diligently to finalize a technologically redesigned promotion whereby you will have a chance to secure one of the originally allotted 6,000 room nights available at the rate of USD 19.28.
The proposed solution maintains some of the same elements of the previous sale; however, it will follow a different format. Those elements include:
- The promotion will take place exclusively online at a dedicated time and will last for 80 minutes.
- All of the participating hotels (nearly 100 Leading Hotels) remain the same.
- Requests for accommodations will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Travel dates are strictly between the promotional time period of November 1 to December 15, 2008.
- The number of rooms and the available dates for travel vary among the participating hotels.
We plan to announce the details and instructions of the new USD 19.28 promotion no later than Friday, October 17, 2008. In the meantime, please check back here for related news at your leisure. Any updates will indicate the date and time of posting. Details of the promotion will be posted at least 48 hours before the sale begins.
