CHILULL HASHEM

Page came up – but with regular price for 5/17

Just read FT. This deal is on there under hotel deals. Booked a bunch of rooms an hour ago. Too late to the table if you’re just reading the regurgitated information here.

Site wont load

booked three night
guys take in consideration its in the summer, ur wives are in the county.
or u can go with friends

is it dead. every sunday im checking (for one night) is coming up between 3 and 500 bucks

@Dan:

which dates??

site is working for me, but the dates are coming up as over $300! im following all the steps. HELP

@adam: What is FT?

a shanda!

@fair: Even if it were not an actual ethical violation, the fact that they all reservations will be under ‘Feldman’, ‘Rosenberg’, and ‘Schwartz’ is a chilul H-shem IMO.

@adam:
whats ft

6/25 dead

Coming up at $49 now for 5/31

dead

ok. r there gonna b minunim all these dates?
then im staying home

Perhaps you should credit FT where the DDF deal was taken from

@Such a tease!:
Flyertalk.com or Flyertalk.com/forum

@FT:
If I saw it on FT or if the DDF user attributed it to FT then I would have gladly as I have in the past many times.

But it’s not my job to hunt for the origin of every deal that someone posts. I saw it on DDF and credited where I found it.

@Yehuda S:

You too, very sad…

@Yehuda S @TZADIK I agree this will be a chillul hashem when jews flock the hotel all at once taking advantage of a mistake. Rosh Hashana is next week!!! SHAME

I THINK ITS BACK TO REGULAR PRICES.

Got it for memorial day weekend, awesome. Do you think these will be honored? T&C seem like it allows them to cancel.

@Yehuda S:

Good thing my last name isn’t jewish sounding at all!

04/23 Dead

@TZADIK:

You obviously have no idea what a chillul hashem is…sad…

@Yehuda S good thing I’m a sfardi

Basically dead

looks to be dead

Back to reg price. Too bad I missed it, thanks Dan for posting and giving everyone chances to take hold of amazing opportunities.

I don’t think FT is filled with Feldmans and Schwartzs.

I can’t get it it just has regular rates help was looking for around 5/06

Learn some halachos To’es Akum is forbidden if its known to them that a jew is profiting off their mistake…. they will know you are a jew when you check in you CANNOT hide under your yankees cap

I scored 2 nts!

everyone screaming chulel hashem,
please admit its cause u missed the deal

@Dan,

i had the room for the $49 a night + tax, but when i checked out and it proccesed the CC info, it had the 600+ numbers price?!?!?!?

any thoughts??

@Yid without a Yid name a jew can be spotted from a mile away when you check in please dont wear your yarmulka

The hotel is under no obligation to honor. They can cancel without any repercussions whatsoever.

But honoring will create goodwill and good PR. So they’ll weigh that and make a decision. This is nothing like buying something mismarked at a retail store.

seems to be dead… anyone have any luck in the last 2-3 minutes?

a lot of the dates are dead.

cant find a single date where it’s at 49

i checked multiple dates and was giving me the regular rates!!!!!!!

@DAN please clarify for everyone if this is muttur/chillul hashem

DROPR perhaps – but an omni chat rep just told me IT fixed it 10 minutes ago. She also mentioned that management is contacting the hotel about the issue to see how it will be resolved and doesn’t know yet.

Apparently it has been corrected already.

actaully im pretty sure only gezel akum is forbidden if they know its a jew. they can know from today till tomorrow if they made a mistake its not chillul hashem. it may be kiddush hashem to rectify the mistake but its not chillul if you dont

@Redbull3:

why would you contact them?

@jew: You first tried to book then you saw that the deal is dead you started bashing all the jews, good for you.

@#lost:
Go ask your LOR!
I stated my opinion in comment 75 but I sure hope you don’t make religious decisions based on my word.

can anyone confirm that it’s still alive?

but i dont know much

dan, I think this is dead

Anyone gotten one in the past 15 minutes?

instead of saying “gan ze letova” people are mentioning “khilul Hashem” —- all i have to say is if a jew made the mistake on thier site – then it will definately be a khilul Hashem… until then… for me (that didnt get a room) gam ze letova!

dead deal:( oh yea and everyone get off your high horses you are just upset you didn’t get the deal

I got New Years eve for $49!!!

dead

@SHAME ON YOU: and whats with the curles?!!!!

@sb So your a mind reader!? you know whats going thru the goy’s mind when all the jews r checking in im impressed

@Allan – memorial day weekend is Shavous weekend too 🙂

@tzadik nistar cheapjew i dont mind paying the full rate to avoid a chillul hashem shame on you do we share the same torah

Just got New Years for $49.00! Party in my suite!

Wow. July 4th 2015 works too!! Thanks for hooking me up with a place to go in the city after fireworks Dan!!!

so is it totally dead, or is there still a chance?what dates are working?

@tzadik nistar the 2nd: I feel bad that you missed the deal if you want I might have a extra room booked that I could give you, just ask nicely.

For all the concerned commenters about the chillul hashem, look over the 90 or so comments, in total only about 10-15 ppl mention having successfully booked. I doubt that the people that booked rooms at a wrong price, checking in at such a large hotel (396 rooms) scattered over the course of a few months will be noticeable.

@The Matador
Really ? I tried that date an hour ago and it was not showing $49

Btw, for those of you that booked memorial weekend, that’s SHAVUOS!

@tzadik nistar i had the oppurtunity to book it nice try

well that was fun, here’s to hoping that they honor it

Does anyone know if they will give a hard time bringing kids if the room was booked as adults?

I booked in March, just noticed now that it wasn’t posted as part of the deal.

Got the $49 rate though. Thanks!

To Everyone who thinks this is not ethically questionable: If your son came home with a $250 watch and said his friend sold it to him for $7, would you slap him on the back and wink or would you say, “your friend made a mistake, please go return it!”?

@Yehuda S:
Mind-blowingly incomparable.

@yuneeq: @yuneeq: Which dates in March?? :/

@Insert clever name here: They will. What we usually recommend is to call in advance and say that your party includes dwarves who are sensitive to excessive attention so please don’t mention anything when we arrive.

I think @yehudaS has a good point which hes been saying for a while now. How meny of you can honestly belive that no chilul hashem will come out of all the shtick that we (myself included big time) play here?

@Dan your answer that the hotel can decide wheter to allow the deal or cancel it mey be true, but you also post meny mistake airfare deals where the airlines dont always have that choice.
Im not passing judgment on anyone, I just think we should all look at things with open eyes.

@SU:

March 29

I guess you are right. I’ll correct.

Your son said that the son of Mr. Smith , the non- Jewish next door neighbor, was selling his father’s watch collection. Do you:

A: Tell your son to return it and call Mr. Smith ASAP the warn him.
B: call all your friends and family and tell them to get over here, quick to grab one.

@Dan @Yehuda S
READ COMMENT 75!!!! They can cancel it if they want, so if they honor it thn it was THEIR CHOICE! stop being so critical of Dandeals just because you are to slow to get the deal. and if you are so critical thn why are you on this website in the first place! please guys, some of you have to get a life.

pretty sure anyone who is still saying that they booked are lying to screw with people.

@Yehuda S:
1. No physical good is being sold here, so please find another example.
2. The hotel has full right to decide not to honor. Nothing has changed hands at all.

any dates still active??

Why don’t you people who keep talking about it being unethical go get a life. If you don’t want to be part of a deal then don’t be. Get off your high and mighty soapbox and keep your opinion to yourself.

When I was in first grade (20 yrs ago) I sold a classmate a fruit-by-the-foot candy for $20! When I came home, my paps made me return the money to him. I was pretty ticked then, but in hindsight… I wouldn’t compare with this though.

@Not the same: @Not the same: That was me you sold it to! Wow I never thought we’d meet again and certainly not on Dan’s Deals. It’s a small world! Dan you bring people together!

@Dan If the hotel decides not to honor when do you think they’d contact those who booked?

@Yehuda S: My son actually did buy a $199 watch from his friend for $10. When he told me I slapped him on the back and winked at him and was proud of him for a getting a great deal. Yehuda, are you telling me I’m not a good father? I can’t believe you’re implying I’m not a good person. You don’t even know me! If you don’t like getting a deal that’s fine but don’t dis those that like getting deals especially on a Deals website.

@Funny Man: SR? Wow, what coincidence! And it was grape flavored-the best flavor! I’m mochel though. LOL

@Not the same: =P

Can’t find any! Open dates. What to do?

Do you think they’ll accommodate us with a room for davening and to supply us with a kosher kitchen?

Unlike some ungrateful people who are “better than some of us” and are preaching their righteousness, I wanted to say thank you Dan. I was lucky enough to get this deal. I’m pretty sure if another deal to Israel for $300 came up you’d all be very quick to get in on it. And if you’re so “frum and ethical”, you probably should not be on the Internet to begin with! Thanks again Dan.

Yehuda S: I’m not Feldman, Rosenberg, or Schwartz and I’ll be there, though I saw it on FT before I saw on it on DD. Just doing my part to balance things out so you’re not so embarrassed. 😀 I’m from Amish-background and we have a reputation for frugality and good deals as well, but I’m not ashamed of it.

@Hans Mast: FT?

@Hans Mast:
Alas we also both fall for the “get rich quick” stuff 🙁

@Yup:
See comment 56.

@dan from your article: “El Al has publicly stated that it
was a third party contractor who
made the mistake when they ledthe airfare. El Al will likely pursue them for liabilities”
What about the third party being sued?
Besides what if im not refering to the elal deal but rather to another in which the airline desent gain (even “potentially”)? They would then be forced to honer the deal against there will.
what would you say then?

@shimino1:
The point being made there was T”A vs. T”Y.

Regardless take a look at what Delta did on the 12/26/13 glitch. They honored thousands of tickets that they weren’t obligated to honor for the good PR.

A business decision was made that good PR would be better than just not honoring the unconfirmed tickets.

With the United glitch from Wideroe last year for $300 tickets for EWR-TLV the glitch was actually leaked by Wideroe Air themselves.

Nothing is as simple as it looks.

Hey its working again

@slomma the nj ew: Really ?

@slomma the nj ew:
What dates?

@Redbull3:

why in the world would you chat with an OMNI rep about this? What were you thinking?? Oh wait I know… I did not get the deal, so let me demand I get it too, even if it ruins it for anybody else. Shame on you

I understand that Dan is Jewish. I am not. Many of Dan’s reader’s are Jewish.
If there are things in the Jew religion that prevents you from participating in deals like this, whether hotel or airline, why are you on Dan’s site? This site is about deals and glitches. If that sort of thing is against your religion or your morality, why come here?
Seems like a stripper complaining that her manager low morality for stealing her tip money

Why would you refer to us jews as managers of a strip club. Do you think all jews take advantage of other people, businesses and non jews. Kinda insulting.

@Shollama – how did you read that into it? He’s simply pointing out that people who are looking for deals, complaining about the morality of a particular kind of deal, may be a bit hypocritical.

Dan, thank you for this deal. My wife and I really enjoyed our night away from home there last week!

@V: did you book on orbitz? I want to make sure that they will honor it! Did they make an issue?

Thank you so much for this deal Dan. I was looking back on the pictures from the trip my family took using this deal, we had an amazing time and we have you to thank for the awesome hotel deal!
