I've had two deals through his site that ended up canceling on me.
Has anyone had success getting a deal and using it?

A lot depends on the specifics of the deal and what you do if there are problems. Most rates that are denied end up being honored. Shoot me a PM if you ever want advice for interacting with booking sites. I was just traveling and stayed on a couple mistakes without any issues. The SPG above is a good example of the deal type that is more likely to end up being honored, giving compensation, or a reduced rate: major chain-prepaid rate-single day. This year has seen some $800/$500/$450 suites being honored and some cancellations on $43 when they meant $83. I guess it is best to approach it all as a lottery as there are no guarantees.

Those two were tough. There were a couple people who got honored for the Marriott and a couple who got modest comp. but the majority not.

Almost all unusually good rates are entered by a human at the hotel. They will often try to blame the booking sites or talk about "technical errors" but it is almost always bs.

I didn't know EHD has a Master Thread. Thanks. Shouldn't that thread be under Deals and not On The Road?

No it doesn't, although some will be annoyed that you didn't search to see if it was already posted.

On The Road is for Hotel deals.  Sounds right to me...

Fair enough. I always thought Deals was for deals.  ;)

BTW, the wiki for the master thread says, "This thread is for the hotel mistakes at www.extremehoteldeals.com  , a group of dealfinders started by Mistake Dude (@MD11).
The Master Thread is for the random places, or off season deals. However, for a popular destination (e.g. Israel, CA, NYC etc.) please start a new thread."
So it was correct to start a new thread.
