AaronJB Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)Great win for this property during a busy period (and free Doubletree cookie at check-in is always a plus.)PRICELINE and HOTWIRE stays are not eligible for rewards program points. You can try asking though and sometimes people do get lucky and the points are given.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
