The elevator in the office building that I work at, features one of those small screens that scrolls breaking news, interesting movie facts, weather updates, etc. At lunch, I was quickly absorbing some Red Carpet gossip when the next screen flashed a super sale on Alaska Cruises - but only if you buy on February 29th, given it's leap year. It got me to thinking that more retailers might be using this special day (that only pops up every four years), to create more business.
I did a simple search online and found that in fact, everyone from furniture dealers to mattress retailers to cruise lines are delivering deep discounts, but ONLY on 2/29/12.
I suppose if you've been waiting for the perfect time to book that vacation or upgrade your bedroom set, now is the time! Er, Wednesday is.

Good luck!
