Help Us Help You: Please Read Before Posting

Just a few suggestions for posters:

1. Please let us know all the details of your trip that you can in your first post - dates, budget, area preferences - anything that could possibly help us help you. If you are asking about a HOTWIRE listing, let us know what amenities are showing, how many people you are searching for and area. If you leave out information in the initial post (dates, for example), then we have to ask and wait for your response instead of just getting right to work on research.

2. Many, many people ask how they can get a specific hotel via HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. Neither service is about getting a specific hotel, it's about getting a deal on a hotel. If you get the hotel you are looking for, that's terrific, but more often than not, expecting to get a specific hotel on either service results in disappointment.

3. Rates are date specific. If someone else got a certain property for a certain price and you are looking for different dates and not getting the same price accepted on PRICELINE, it is because you are looking for different dates.
