Welcome to BetterBidding! There is nothing that say that $48 is the magic number for a possible upgrade, even if it's a historical amount. The revenue manager at Crown can load lower rates for PRICELINE at any time. Hotels come and go, and *ratings change all the time. For the moment is the industry slow so you never know. I know that there's only one 3.5* hotel reported for the moment in this zone. But a 2.5* can be upgraded to 3* or a 3.5* can be downgraded to 3* at any time. also read this Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date Please post your date(s) for your stay if you need any help. YellowDog.

The 4* hotel in Lake Buena Vista Downtown Disney is a match for the Buena Vista Palace. So that would be my best guess. I don't belive you have listed all amenties for this hotel. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above? NOTE: you will likely need to click the pop-up window with the amenities, the CTRL+A, and copy/paste to a text program such as NOTEPAD or WORDPAD to see them all since HOTWIRE is missing the scrollbars from this window. YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! Please keep all posts in the same thread. Can you please post your date(s) for your stay. YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! Sure, you can use all features of this site, i.e. PRICELINE,HOTWIRE and purchase Cruises. And boards support page got plenty of good links for all travel needs. And it' should be no problem paying with an Aussie Visa Credit Card. :) Just post if you need help with anything. YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! since the Hyatt has been downgraded to 3.5* is this amenitie combo a match for both Wyndham and Hyatt in the downtown zone. I'm sorry but I can't tell which hotel that might be in favor. I have my thoughts but we better let admin shine some light over this since there's plenty of time. YellowDog.

kopsy - Just a reflection since you live in Europe. You know that the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE rates don't include insurance and liability coverage? I know that there is diffrent rules for US vs non US customers. You might know this, but better safe....... I live in Sweden. And ther's no way for me to book a car through a USA car rental site since I have to buy the insurance and liability coverage. And that fee for that is higher than the car rental. They wont release the car without the minimum protection. Have a nice trip! YellowDog.

The location for this hotel is good. Close to Disney and many restaurants in the area. I can help you with some pointers for your trip. But you have to book your hotel first so we know the zone you're staying in. Generaly, you have 2 "traveldays", that leaves 5 days for the parks? And you have a car? You need 1 day to "relax" at the hotel/pool/soft activity so your kid (and you) can re-charge. Disney is no vacation :) But you're going during a great time after the easter and springbreak rush.When you do the day by day itinerary avoid to visit parks during the "extra magic hours". If the park got extra hours in the evening, got the park in the morning to avoid the "park hoppers". But it's better that you PM me your itinerary and I will comment on that by PM since this is way off topic :) Have fun with Mickey! YellowDog.

Welcome to the board! Please start with reading this I've never used Priceline or Hotwire If you're not willing to accept any unkown hotel in WestMinister zone is HOTWIRE a better option for you. Since you can't target a specific hotel with PRICELINE. PRICELINE reveals the name at the hotel after your bid has been accepted. Please use the boards PRICELINE link for all your bidding. Just post if you need any further help. YellowDog.

Ok, let's say someone post that they have lucky at Planet Hollywood w/4 adults with a PRICELINE win. How are you going to target that hotel at PRICELINE?I'm not beeing negative or saying that you can't get a room for four people. What I'm saying is, are you ready to get a "no, we don't allow four people in 1 room if you booked with PRICELINE" or "we don't have any rooms left for four peolple" when you arrive to the hotel? YellowDog.

I belive that the amenitie list you posted isn't complete. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above? NOTE: you will likely need to click the pop-up window with the amenities, the CTRL+A, and copy/paste to a text program such as NOTEPAD or WORDPAD to see them all since HOTWIRE is missing the scrollbars from this window. It would be great if you could follow-up your Hotwire Crystal City stay. YellowDog.

npaden. It's the 4* Sheraton Vistana Resort that is listed in the Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney zone. The Sheraton Vistana Villages can't be anything then the I Drive South/Sea world zone. The names on the Sheraton Vistana places are easy to mix up. YellowDog.

lovefourstars, thanx for follow-up! can you also please post your date(s) for the upcoming stay. YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! The board need some more information in order to help you. Please post, *The complete dates for your stay *Complete list of the hotels amentis *How many adults/children you searched at YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! The best thing you can do is to look at the PRICELINE zones for London to decide which zone(s) to stay in. In order to help you with the best strategy the board need to know, zone(s) you're willing to stay in, you're maximum budget/night and preferd * rating at hotel. Why haven't you posted your PRICELINE wins at the board so other members could gain from your information :) YellowDog.

Hello Stephi, could you please start with follow-up your Hotwire Rome thread. And then bump this one. YellowDog.

1ns2wo, You pay the hotel to PRICELINE. So the hotel is pre-paid when you arrive. If you don't charge anything to the room like, parking, food, resort fee etc, are you set to go when your stay is over. Sorry, but I can't answer abut how your bank will handle this. The billing name can you change under "my profile" at PRICELINE for future stays YellowDog.

npaden, this is a match for the Rosen Shingle Creek. So that would be my best guess. However, I don't give you any guarantee that you will get this hotel for your conference. Rosen Plaza shows a downgrade* to 3.5 so I don't belive it's that. What dates are the conference? Have you searched at the conference only dates to compare results at HOTWIRE? Do you know if there is any block resarvations made for the conference? It's the same for Orlando, new hotels and amenitie combos are added to inventory. Just post if you need any further help. YellowDog. Admin. downgrade per VP 17-21/5.

esta, Is USE the only zone you're willing to stay in? And board needs to know your maximum/night budget? Is your reason for the USE zone that there is only two hotels reported? Generally speaking, hotels can be added and removed at any time. You have no obligations to PRICELINE if your bid gets rejected. YellowDog.

Please start with follow-up your Hotwire march Montreal stay. Then bump this thread. YellowDog.

HOTWIRE change for Las Vegas Las Vegas (South Strip) 3* Tropicana Hotel and Casino. Is now 2.5* per VP April 4-7. YellowDog.

This is a match for the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. So that would be my best guess. Are you talking about bidding at PRICELINE or is it still HOTWIRE?Please use boards HOTWIRE link if you decide to go for this hotel. YellowDog.

Welcome to BetterBidding! can you please post the amenities for the hotel. YellowDog.

The guarantee don't honor other opaque bookings :) YellowDog.

Why don't you share your HOTWIRE stay with board so other members can benefit from it :) To answer your question. The claim must be done within 48 hours. Now, please gain the board with your stay :) Can you please add a reply to this thread with the price paid, dates of your stay, and amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view all of this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the my account link near the top right of their home page. Please use boards HOTWIRE link for your HOTWIRE bookings. YellowDog.

Welcome To BetterBidding! This is a match for The Venetian, so that would be my best guess. Please use the boards HOTWIRE link if you decide to go for it. YellowDog.
