Groupon Offering Huge New Years Discount

Postby SJCrazy » Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:49 pm

I just wanted to share with everyone that Groupon is selling nights at Pearl. The rate isn't too amazing, except that the fall price extends all the way through New Years, which is a really big discount. They do add "taxes and fees" but it still works out to $450/night all told. It wouldn't surprise me if this is an error, so snag it while you can. Standard cancellation policy applies, but you won't be able to (re)book after the offer ends Monday night.

I immediately got asked for a link... I'm on an iPad, so I hope this is a proper, clean link:

That is a pretty crazy good deal. Need to cancel my existing reservation and rebook.

If I were you, I would book the new rate and hang onto the old one for at least a week or so. I'm pretty sure somebody messed up when this was entered into Groupon; Desire would never intentionally sell those nights that cheap, since they can sell it out at double that price. I would be really surprised if Groupon didn't honor the price, but better safe than sorry!

I just ran my February travel dates through the Groupon. I paid through Orbitz $4460 for 7 nights including round trip airfare with direct flights. The Groupon rate was $3981 without airfare. The initial Groupon price does not include $717 in taxes. No great deal the way I see it.

I addressed all of that; the overall rate isn't anything special, EXCEPT for the week between Christmas and New Years. That week usually costs in the ballpark of double rate, but Groupon is selling it outrageously low.

Yes - keeping my other reservation until the a bit later. Thank you for the post!

How did you find this Groupon? I try to search groupon site and can't find it except through your link.

I checked it for the week after we are going in early December (our week is sold out) and then added flights and the price was close to what we paid. However, this is about the cheapest time period we could find (the reason we are going then lol) and the groupon is for an ocean view room. I think it's a good deal, especially if you are able to use it at a peak time as was mentioned. Also this is for Pearl which I think is usually a bit pricier and we are going to DRM. I was able to find the deal as well through the Groupon app.

Also noticed that the price changes depending on when you go. Not just a flat rate thing. I would say if you are going to use it be sure to check prices through several methods. May not be a really good deal but if you can save a few bucks ...

It is hands down the lowest rate you'll probably ever see for either resort for nights 12/25 through 1/1. I probably wouldn't use it for anything other than that.

I'm actually a little irritated, because I snagged a deal for 12/23-12/27 using a different pricing glitch, then set a family trip for the following week. This Groupon rate is about the same price as my prior glitch price, but I could have taken much better dates. Oh well!

Mind sharing the pricing glitch?

Anyone having trouble completing this purchase? I''m trying to book 12/22-12/26 and it keep saying it can't complete the purchase.

I've tried different credit cards (and they're all in good standing).

I wonder if it's because I tried to apply the SALE3 groupon promo code?

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I thought that might happen. Congrats to everybody that bagged it! I suspect posting it here helped it to die, but I figured people needed to know :)

Hopefully Funallnight will keep us updated on whether it all works out.

A booking site (apparently) incorrectly entered the dates for the 4th night free promo.

They have not cancelled it yet - hopefully it stays that way.
