kgclark75 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Just got the 4* NYNY for Fri-Mon 3/4-3/7 for $206.Amenities listed were:Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Spa, Golf Nearby, Business CenterThe available rate through the hotel's website is $149, so I submitted a Double the Difference request and should get a refund of $112.02 per night bringing the effective rate to $93.94/night.This is the first time I've done a DTD request. Does it usually take the stated three days before you get a reply? What happens if the rate changes before they are able to verify it? I did take a screenshot, but am still worried since it's such a large refund amount. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Nice job!Did you realize that this also could have been Treaure Island, as it has the same exact amenities and star rating as NYNY?Was this also a Customer Favorite?Double the difference usually takes 1-3 days for a confirmation. Please update once you receive it.Hope your luck is this good in Vegas!

kgclark75 Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, Treasure Island would have been even better. They had rates for $136 avg during my dates.No, it wasn't a customer favorite. Link to comment

kgclark75 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Just got my confirmation for the DTD through Hotwire. I was getting a little worried because: 1) It has been three business days, 2) The hotel is now sold out during my stay, so the lower rate is unavailable, 3) Check-in is tomorrow and most importantly 4) Since I was booking this room for my mother, it was not my money. I was ready to fire back with screen shots of the room rates that I took a few days ago, but didn't need them. ----Thank you for your message regarding the Hotwire Hotel Low PriceGuarantee for your reservation at the New York New York Hotel & Casino,Hotwire Itinerary Number xxxx.Hotwire works hard to get you the best hotel deals.
