LHFlyer Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 If $111 was pre-tax - that's a poor deal. I stayed last new year for $160 one night, $80 second. Including limo airport transfers, dinner, breakfast etc. Their rate last Xmas/New year was $90 on marriott.com.
Angelphace Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Posted September 7, 2005 It was pre-tax. :) I got confused with my bidding and forgot to drop my price when I added 4* to my choices. I had previously been trying to get a 5* Riverside hotel for this price, which would have been a good deal!Still, there's nothing I can do about it now. I've learnt my lesson the hard way!
thereuare Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 Did you win the 5* JW Marriott? (or a different hotel or has the rating changes??) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Chris26WI Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 Did you try Priceline's best price guarantee, if you found a cheaper price for same period in asiarooms.com?
Angelphace Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Posted September 8, 2005 It was the 5* JW Marriott. I believe that the other Marriott in Bangkok, The Marriott Riverside, is classified as a 4* by Priceline.Chris, I didn't realise they had a best price guarantee. I'll check it out on their website. Thanks for the tip!
Angelphace Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Posted September 8, 2005 Thanks to Chris i've now been refunded approximately $10 (the rate had gone up in the last 2 days).They gave me the refund even though I failed to contact Priceline within the requisite 24 hour period they specify in their guarantee.This brings my rate down to $106 pre tax.

Angelphace Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Posted September 9, 2005 I've never indicated that it didn't??I've found it extremely useful ever since I started using it and have recommended it to many friends.
