I just rented a car in Las Vegas via a Priceline winning bid for an economy car with National. The representative at the regular desk told me that if you are an Emerald Club member, you can get any car you want using your Priceline winning bid. Simply go to the Emerald Club, pick out your car, and get on your way. No need to show your Priceline confirm or anything. My Emerald membership had expired because I hadn't used it for so long, so I didn't get to try this. But I will next time. Do people know about this loophole?

Thanks shammes53! Indeed looks like the Homestead suites (I didn't see the bottom of the hotel list, it is there). Seems like slim pickins for a cheap but decent hotel in San Diego. I've read mixed reviews about Homestead Suites, most complaints seem to involve dirty rooms since they only get cleaned once a week. I'm trying to find something decent for less than $75 all in per night for 4 nights 9/25-9/29. Perhaps I should start a new thread asking for suggestions...

I'm searching for a hotel for 4 nights 9/25/05-9/29/05. I see the following 2* on Hotwire for $56: Mira Mesa (Other Areas) - See map Selected amenities include: Kitchenette, Laundry Facilities (self-service). The only Hotwire hotel listed for the Mira Mesa zone is a 3* Staybridge Suites - so I'm confused, did I find a new Hotwire hotel? Also, I've already bid on Priceline for a 2.5* up to $70 for the Mira Mesa zone (Priceline calls it Sorrento Mesa) and I got rejected! So I'm inclined to take this $56 hotel on Hotwire. Any insight would be appreciated.
