I was looking at the deal and I decided not to buy it .Later I got an email saying that I bought it (even though I didn't buy it)but  my credit card wasn't accepted.So I was going to let the deal go because it was too much money for me. But then I get an email saying theyre honoring it but I have to give them a valid cc #. After I heard how rare this deal is should I get it even though I dont have much money? Or Can someone buy it ?

Do we know if this is transferable at this point?  LS has passed our names, etc. on to Fairmont, so it may be too late to transfer.  Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

I don't see how anyone could know for sure.

Someone bought a 10K deal from his link that I had on the main site in the end (purchase #112!), so it came out to be free :)

Has anyone actually had success switching a referral though? What exactly would you say?
I was the one with 112 10 k got them to switch it to 2k offer hope you still got the free one :)
I must of been 114 or 115 also cause they bought me a new one and canceled the old one
Thanks Dan

Me too...

I may be interested in at least buying the free night from someone. Is it an open reservation? PM me if yes, and you're interested in parting with it.

This is so wrong on many points.
-It's unfair to allocate the entire cost of the deal to the hotel room.  Is the Platinum status not worth anything?
-If I paid $0 why should there be tax on $2,000?  Think the hotel is actually going to remit that to the tax collectors?
-Living Social only gives Fairmont half of the money for the deal, so for people that paid $2,000 only half of that goes to Fairmont.  Why should the entire part be taxed?

If they let me transfer the night I have many charities that have asked for it.   Apparently charities don't pay the SF hotel tax and they can give you a tax receipt for the amount paid or the fair market value.
