First post :)
I have been searching for cheap accommodation and came across this posted by an IHG employee (thanks cscmtp) at slickdeals.net.
International IHG hotels family and friends sale for employee Lisa Berry from Charleston, SC - huge discounts if you book accommodation before May 31st. Simply follow the instructions on the website. Hundreds of people have used this and not been questioned.
I did a search for Australian hotels and Tokyo hotels (to use with jetstar's cheap flights) and they were 20-40% off!
As much as I would like to use this offer, how do I know that I won't get caught out by the time I actually get to the hotel, especially given that this person is from the US?
