franklin411 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 I'm in DC from 7/28-8/1, so I submitted a few bids using various dates (breaking the stay for the best price), starting at $90/night. No counterbids on 7/28-8/1 or 7/28-7/30, but then I tried 7/29-8/1 and won the Omni Shoreham for $95 + $5 PL Cash.I think I saw the Shoreham on Hotwire for $102, so this kinda confirms the idea that $1 of PL cash =/= $1 of Americano cash! =PUsed the PRICELINE link.

franklin411 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Wow....this is a first!I checked my credit card statement today, and the Omni charged me $113! I called them up and they said that it was their mistake--the charge was supposed to go to Priceline, but instead it went to my card. WTF??? Never had anything like that happen with Priceline before, and I've been using them for almost a decade.
AaronJB Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 This has happened to me once or twice and it's never fun - hopefully the hotel will take care of it quickly.
