I always check that option for the upgraded room. I have never once received an upgrade offer.
I was browsing through the 2014 Hotel thread, and I noticed that some people's reservations were getting cancelled as duplicates because other people had listed them as an occupant. There's 4 of us, so should I only list myself as an occupant and leave the other fields blank if those people will also be submitting a request? And then have each of them only list themselves as an occupant in their requests? What do you Hotelpocalypse veterans usually do?
Don't leave them blank - use fake names. Just try and keep the names resonable, so no joke names that they might flag as being fake. (I did short generic names like Sue or Ed so they would be quicker to type). Once you get an actual reservation, you can log into travel planners website and change the other occupant names to the real ones.
Don't leave them blank - use fake names
How is this even possible? How does TP know that it's a duplicate and not just someone with the same name?
Honestly, those of us who experienced the hotel lottery aren't even sure why they would simply purge (or delete) duplicate names without checking the addresses or contact information first. As far as I'm aware, Travel Planners based their criteria on seeing accounts with the same name for last year's situation. It isn't clear on whether or not Travel Planners has found a way internally to address this, and unfortunately, we won't know for sure until after the hotel lottery date and the rooms are assigned to people.
I had no idea this was even a possibility. I'm glad I read this thread. I'll let my roommates know to just put their names and leave the rest blank (we all share the same first name so our submissions might have been suspicious anyway). I mean, you could use fake names that happen to be someone's real names and then those real people could get their submissions rejected? I also guess I just don't get why TP would delete duplicates anyway. If a group of 4 people are all trying for one room, and they each get a room, they will only use one and will release the rest (or give them to other people). It's not like the rooms go to waste.

Pretty sure you *have* to fill in all the names. If you pick a double you must enter two names, triple three names etc. Anyone remember for sure?
