$122 for a King Room if you have their Rydges card (I think you can enroll online).

Booked and paid? Go to www.rydges.co.nz, register for the card and take note of the number. Then check the available rates and you should find a $122 room. Cancel the other one and book this one.

Booking online (at least on the Rydges site) you only pay on checkout not on booking.

Yeah, paid. wotif.co.nz takes your casssshhhhh as soon as you book. Might give Rydges a call, see if they can help.

Awesome, wotif cancelled for me, waiving the $25 admin fee, and I signed up and booked with Rydges. Thanks Mauricio, the tip is appreciated!

Perhaps could suggest in the first post to say most GZers are staying at Rydges, and how to get the best deal...

Auckland is so much bigger - but Wellington was sold out in minutes... We still have five seats for Auckland!

Wellington has a higher concentration of geeks per capita compared to Auckland!
