DDSeeker Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 New hotel.Amenities: Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Laundry.Priceline does not offer 3* at airport, but had failed Priceline bids of $67 for a 3* in the downtown and Little Rock west zones.Paid $98; with taxes and fees: $113.95.Found rate of $94 at holiday-inn.com. Expect a successful $8 DTD (Double the Difference Guarantee) claim. (Hey, better in my checking account than Hotwire's!) Since this is a same-day reservation, I hope hotwire's reps are on the stick. Also will receive my $30 Entertainment rebate. Total after all rebates: $75.95.[Edit: Oh yeah, used savingsbarn.com to access hotwire. Always do!] Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thank you for sharing your results and adding this new property to our hotel lists.If you can, i would try to make some sort of print out, screen shot, or file of today's price just so you have some proof in case Hotwire DTD reps don't look until tomorrow (at which point the rate will be gone).As always, thank you for using the links at SavingsBarn.comEnjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
DDSeeker Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks for your advice. I printed off a copy of the rate I saw and also saved the url as a file.In the end, I didn't need it. Hotwire approved my DTD claim around noon today. I'm not sure how Hotwire verified the rate, but Hotwire's actions confirm my belief that they approach DTD claims in good faith. Link to comment
