Travel Zoo Discount is Back

[ButterSnatcher Member Find all posts View Profile Close ButterSnatcher]

So i was reading my emails and i cam across a travel zoo discount for the rio. Yes you herd me right, though sort of not as good as last year so ill give you the scoop and you decide for yourself.
Those who dont wish to read my explanation i wanted to say it is not the same as last year so please read it carefully.
I'm staying a week so i did the math and some days its better other days not. Firstly its for a delux studio suite not the premium like last year also it says its for a king bed not queen, when you purchase the fine print says its a 20$ upgrade fee when i called and played dumb they said its 10 dollars so who knows. Also you cant use it on Aug 1 so dont buy for that day.

59$ code covers sunday to thursday
99$ code covers Friday and Sat (be careful cause i almost got caught last night thinking it was similar to last year those weeks being excluding. You can only use the weekend on the days listed.)
$99 per night on the following Fridays-Saturdays: March 1, 9; April 5-6, 19, 26; May 3-4, 10-11, 17, 31; June 1, 7-8, 14-15; July 5-6, 12-13, 27; Aug. 16-17, 23-24; Sept. 6-7, 13-14

                           Defcon Rate              Travel ZOo Rate
Monday July 29      No Rate Avail              59
Tuesday July 30           104                     59
Wednesday July 31       104                     59
Thursday Aug 1           104                     No Rate
Friday Aug 2               118                     No Rate
Sat Aug 3                  118                     No Rate
Sunday Aug 4            104                      59

I plan on buying 4 to cover the days not hit as even at 59 + 20 its still a savings plus it includes 2 line bypass and a bottle of vodka at the voodoo lounge which is good i guess. Not as good as the 30 dollar food credit but either way it works. So in total ill have 3 reservations (you have to call in to use the discount and get them to link the 3 together). Did something similar last year. I will call and will post later and let you know how it goes. The deal is set to expire in 6 days though as someone posted some place else tomorrow they start charging resort fees (free internet... i know its amazing just think of how many people will be connected to the slow hotel wifi)

Ninja edit: So i once they figure out how to use it i will post how to get them to enter it because they apparently can't figure out how to use it.
double ninja edit: so call 1888 746 0237 for a direct line to the call center that knows how to process these. I had to call travel zoo and get them to call. The promo code if they ask for it is tvlzoo then your voucher code should work when they ask for it. The first place i called didnt have that code and didnt know how to get it.

good luck.
