kirikara Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 hello everybodyi was just wondering if anybody ever used the pricematch policy of any hotel chainsi found out that wyndham hotels offer a pricemtach policy on thier WEBRATES.basically they'll match the lower price you found and make your first night free.there is obviously lots of things to matchlike cancelleations conditions, size of the bed etc...and it doesn not include fares from priceline or hotwirebuthere is what i found:on Hotels.comthe wyndham chicago center is $255 for 2 nights including taxes and it is 267 with wyndham's websitei was thinking about trying it with one night only and see if it works...(it is alot of monye if it is waisted, $267)and i could even get 2 free nights i guess since i can get my husband to book another one..any experience with that tricky stuff????thanks!

kirikara Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i would be staying on the 5th of january and the 6th of january at the chicago downtown oneit seems to be the same deluxe roomthe cost without tax is 101 something for the first night, 122 something with taxeson the webiste it is 116 without taxes and about 133 with taxesthe only think that seems a grey area is the fact that with Hotels.com the cancellation implies a $20 fee before the 2nd whereas i think with thier website there is no refundable policyi was thikning about just contacting them... i guess it is THE thing not to do...what is for sure is that i dont have $267 to waistethanks for your help Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 if you're referring to this hotel...Wyndham Chicago633 North St. Clair StreetChicago, IL 60611United States currently Hotels.com is more expensive for a 1 night stay or a 2 night stay for your travel dates......so Wyndham's Webmatch won't work in this case.........remember, you need to find a lower price online Link to comment
