thereuare Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.The HOTWIRE property above matches previous reports for the Sheraton Maui so that would be my best guess for this one.Do you want to bid higher on PRICELINE, lower your star level, add other zones, wait it out and hope for lower prices in the weeks ahead... OR go with this HOTWIRE offer?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

HawaiiGrl2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Thank you for the ID. Sorry i thoght HOTWIRE and PRICELINE topics should be posted seperately in their respective forum?I don't want to bid higher than $160 on Priceline. I don't want to lower star level.Will probably try again another day.I think the hotwire offer of $181 is a last resort.Thank you.
thereuare Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Sorry i thoght HOTWIRE and PRICELINE topics should be posted seperately in their respective forum?Please keep in same thread as it's easier to see what else has already been considered/tried thru the 'other' service. If you ultimately use HOTWIRE we'll move this thread to that section of the board.I don't want to bid higher than $160 on Priceline.It's worth trying, although if $160 is rejected you may want to reach to $165 if you could swing it could make the difference between success and failure... but it's up to you where you'd like to stop.I think the hotwire offer of $181 is a last resort.Keep in mind that this may not be the hotel offered, or it may not be offered at this same price, if/when you decide you want to pursue this option.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.
