Appreciation post: I thought 'flight price freeze' offers were a scam until I tried one for a trip to Lisbon

I saw a deal on a travel site last month that let me lock in a $450 round trip price for 72 hours for a $10 fee. I was sure it was a trick, but I paid the fee while I checked with my friend. The price jumped to $620 two days later, but my locked-in rate stayed. That $10 saved me over $150. Has anyone else had a good experience with these price locks, or are some of them actually bad deals?

Nice! I tried one for a flight to Denver and it totally backfired, the price ended up dropping after I paid the fee.
