off the bat I see this in the fine print:
Does not include additional airline fees such as baggage, seating, tax, etc., which incur additional fees of up to $150 per person
Certificate is valued at up to an $850 credit toward travel costs (up to $350 in hotel credits and $500 in airfare credits at participating hotels and major airlines)
Customer responsible for any airline charges exceeding $500

just read a thread on FT that says this place is mostly a scam
that they pick the most expensive flight and charge you the difference so it ends up being not a discount at all

Those 2 dont seem to be a big deal to me.  I guess for some ppl that are under 21 it is but thats not what kills the deal.  Its that 3rd one and the things I posted above.  The cost is going to be well over $500 just from those things alone.

They're wrong.
They probably assumed the F9 sale was valid in either direction (as most domestic fares are).

There is a screenshot in the post showing the $98 roundtrip fare from IAD to LAS, what am I missing?

Didn't look into it that much.
Either way, nothing there now.
