I was another person who had a form not load correctly....I picked all 6 hotels but I didn't realize they weren't populating anywhere...I submitted after my picks and several hours later got the email allowing me to resubmit my picks which I immediately returned and got a confirmation.

But I have to say, that in my case...although it's nice that TP is attempting to help those of us who got bad forms, I still spent precious time trying to figure out WHY my form wasn't populating instead of submitting.  So, it might not be of ANY help to me that they asked for my six again since I spent so much time trying to figure what was going on.

This siituation has many sides to it, and it's just not going to be great for everyone involved.

I recieved three correction - FOUR emails that said request received. - three different request numbers - all three had correct hotels in order.

First one had my details, and under rooms requested, it had 6 blanks (Any downtown hotel option listed)

Second one - same as first

third one - Correct details, rooms requested and type correct. NO extra hotel options

fourth one - - details correct, rooms requested and type correct - NO extra hotel options

I had two automatic submissions, one that worked, and I spoke to TP over the phone once.

Yeah, I was somewhere between 1:00-1:05, and I got two as well. Still haven't seen anyone over 90 seconds get two e-mails...

My SO was just over 90 seconds and he didn't get 2 emails. Whoever put forth the theory that they started and stopped and then started again sending emails seems to be dead on. I'd say if you got 2 emails, you're probably going to do alright. (That's speculation, of course).

I got 2 emails!!! I guess hope is all we really need. I don't have an exact time on the submission, but it was likely right around that 90 sec spot.

I got two e-mails, and my full submission (the one with number of room, occupants names, etc) was screencapped at 9:02:30, so I guess it took me about 2:15 to submit, so that kind of breaks that theory? But then again, my two e-mails have two different reservation number (under the same e-mail address, with the same 6 hotels which I only picked once) so I don't know...

I do think there's a difference between people who got two identical emails (same #, same hotels, same room info, etc) and people who got two different emails. Two different emails seem to be some sort of weird system glitch to me and doesn't have a relation to time stamp. I'm not 100% convinced that that two identical emails do indicate time stamp, but anecdotally it seems like most people who got them submitted a form in under 1:30.

I was having nightmares last night and checked my email in the middle of the night "just in case" even though I know it won't be until much later today.
