That's clearly the scariest part of that response.
I just spoke with TP and asked about the bad form and receiving the email to resubmit the hotel list. Was told that they did send those emails to people but then stopped as the result was higher than they expected. Told the recp emails will be received within 48 hrs from the sale, I said 48 hrs is to long to wait after what happened to so many people. I did, after accidentally hitting the return because I could not get the hotel list to accept my hotels, reload the link and received the good form. By then it was like 3mins into the sale and I know I had a late submission.A drink last night and another tonight until I get the recap email. Thank goodness Arrow is on tonight!
I don't think we can really believe anything anyone says from travel planners at this point. I just don't think they actually know anything and are just saying whatever they feel like saying. Nothing we can really do but wait and see how this all works out in a few days.
Technical question - is anyone able to explain or have other insight toward the answer?I've read a lot that second form submission cancels the first form submission. What is that based on? For example, is it insta-cancelling based on emails? Same names? IP address? Some sort of tracking in the link? If the system is auto-cancelling, I'm just not sure what criteria it is using to drop that first time stamp. Should I call Travel Planners or wait it out? Are our first submissions recoverable in this case?

Starting to get concerned cuz I have not gotten ANY email of any kind yet. The process was relatively smooth for me. Only hiccup for me, as well as everyone, was the slow loading...after that I got it submitted pretty quick. This was my first attempt at hotel hell so I don't know how long it usually takes to get a confirmation email, but I would have thought I would have gotten the first email by now...im probably just paranoid.....
with them saying they cut off the Hotel Resubmitting emails, because too many people were resubmitting hotel preferences (must have been an automated email that sent out to anyone missing hotel preferences, and they didn't realize how many people that was), im concerned that the number of early, incomplete forms submitted, is in the thousands./FULLOFDREAD!!They took down the re-submitting form also from what i can tell. So much for 5PM EDT.
This may or may not add to the confusion but it made me feel a little better . I spoke to travel planners . My situation was I got a bad form , the system automatically submitted , I went back in and submitted a good form . I received two confirmation pages . Travel planner says that I did not receive a correction email last night because my requests were merged and they got my hotel information from the second form . After the merge, they will be taking the timestamp from the first submission . He actually sounded like he knew what I was talking about and seemed pretty authoritative . At this point, I am just going to have to stop worrying about this for the next 24 hours . Whatever happens happens . I have a flight and a badge . I'm sure I'll find a place to stay . It may not be what I wanted but I will still get to enjoy the con and have a good time . Hope this helps someone who's in a similar situation to me .
