I ran across a promotion from a hotel.

Join us for the holidays with this promotion code.

But if you read down to the fine print, it also says

Limited number of rooms available for each date. May not be valid during holiday and blackout periods or combined with any other discount or promotional offers.

The bold print giveth, and the fine print taketh away.

My guess is that this was standard boilerplate they attach to all their promotions, and they didn’t realize that it conflicted with the fact that it’s a holiday promotion.
