Well, I got a call for a room this weekend after I went through the spiel, she thank me and said that she would have to talk to her husband and call me back. My first thought was, "Ok. Won't call back." but just before she hung up she asked my name. "Ok, Maybe she'll call back."
Two hours later no call....curiosity will kill a cat, so I went on boo king to see what the going rate was... But what I found was that they now are offering free cancelations! It was all over the page, pop up showing, etc. Just a heads up!
 
You have to read the "free cancellations" with a grain of salt. Mine, for example gives a specific date for the "free cancellations".
 
This 'free cancellations' means that B dot com is not going to charge them. They do have a disclosure that states that the individual property may have their own cancellation fee.
It is another gotcha grabber. They are also marking UP my room to discount it back to my going rate. I am hoping that ploy is back firing and that people are looking there then going to my site.
