[UPDATE: DEAD]
Orbitz is having an amazing Cyber Monday offer. Hopefully, we’ll be able to catch it before the limited quantity is used up.
The Offer
- Spend $100 or more on a hotel room booked on Orbitz.com and receive a $100 discount off the listed price when paying with Visa Checkout. Must enter promo code: VISACHECKOUT to get this discount.
It would be possible to get a free hotel room if you can find a room that costs exactly $100. More practically, you’ll find something slightly over $100 and you’ll pay the last few dollars.
This is a Cyber Monday deal, so it should go live at midnight on Sunday night November 30, and last until midnight Monday night. This won’t actually happen because there’s a limited quantity available, and it will be used up long before then.
This offer is not valid on all hotels; most major hotel chains are excluded. Only those which are “Promo Code Eligible” will be eligible. MTM gives us a tip that you can search now using a different code: TRAVELHAPPY, and whichever hotels are eligible for that code will be eligible for the Cyber Monday code.
The Fine Print
- Only valid on hotel stays from December 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015.
- Must use VisaCheckout to pay
- Must enter promo code: VISACHECKOUT.
Our Verdict
If we can get in on this offer, it’s definitely one of the best out there. I don’t travel much, but I happen to have one trip planned in a couple months from now. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get one booking free or close to free.
I already staked out the scene using MTM’s tip of entering a different promo code, and I found a couple hotels which would be perfect.
MillionMileSecrets says that the $100 total is after taxes, so if you find a ~$85 room, it will come out around $100 Â after taxes. I’m not sure how MMS knows this, so I staked out two options for myself, just in case. One option is a $106 room before taxes, and one is a $90 room before taxes. I may stay up until midnight tonight to see if I can get in on this deal as soon as it goes live, which will hopefully be midnight tonight (Sunday night).
HT: MMS
Me & gf each booked at premium hotel for 2 nights($109/night), out of pocket with taxes came to ~$42.. Awesome deal. Promo is dead now. Thanks
Great. I tried, but it didn’t end up working out for me. Glad it did for you.
I am getting the same error as John when I go to use the coupon for a hotel stay Jan 10th. Anyone having success applying the coupon?
Won’t be live until 10am CST, so wait till then!
Just successfully booked a room at a really nice-looking hotel in downtown Portland, ME for March. After promo came to ~$60. I can also cancel free of charge if my plans change, so it was a no-brainer. Thanks for the heads up!
Has anyone gotten this promo to work?
Linking to MMS? New low.
Not sure what you want us to do in a situation like that. Should we just rip the idea and claim it as our own? I disagree with a lot of MMS writes, but not all of it.
Do you really think this was an MMS find? Come on.
I entered the promo code but got a message “This promo code is valid for bookings made between Dec 1, 2014 and Dec 8, 2014. Please continue booking, or try your promo code again later.”
Why it says until Dec 8 while you said it can be used for booking through June 30? which one is correct?
You can use the coupon until December 8th (or until stocks last), by your hotel stay must be before June 30th. That’s why there are different dates.
